Biography

Super 17 (Japanese: 超スーパー17じゅうなな号ごう, Hepburn: Sūpā Jū Nana-Gō, lit. "Super No. 17") was an incredibly powerful android (technically, Machine Mutant) created by the fusion of Android 17 and Artificial 17. Stronger than either of his components combined on an incredible scale, Super 17 was designed to be totally loyal to Dr. Myuu- and only Myuu, as Dr. Gero found out when Super 17 destroyed him. Super 17 battled the Z Warriors, defeating them all with his fighting prowess and ability to absorb any energy attack thrown at him. Even Super Saiyan 4 Goku couldn't defeat him. However, as Super 17's power continued to grow, he grew more and more deranged, eventually turning on Myuu and destroying him. He was finally defeated by Android 18 and Goku- 18 distracted 17 with a barrage of energy blasts, allowing Goku to blast through the super-android with his Dragon Fist attack and destroy him from within.

After Doctor Gero and Doctor Myū open a portal between Hell and Earth in order to transport their new Android 17 (Hell Fighter 17), the original Android 17 is brainwashed and controlled by his Hell Fighter counterpart. The brainwashed Android then goes on a rampage, in which he kills Kuririn and nearly his own sister, Android 18.

Eventually, the two 17s encounter one another, and perform a mutual fusion technique, resulting in an incredibly powerful Super Android 17. Several Z fighters, Goten, Trunks, Vegeta, Gohan and Uub attempt to fight Super 17, who merely brushes them away with minimum effort. In a last ditch effort to save her family and friends, Pan takes hold of Dr. Gero and threatens to have Giru kill him if Super 17 doesn't rescind his attack on Vegeta. Gero orders Super 17 not to attack, but Myu changes Super 17's programming so that he only takes orders from Myu, following which Super 17 redirects the attack and fires it at Gero, killing him and sending him back to Hell.

Super 17 continues to manhandle the Z Fighters and is about to completely do away with them until he finds himself encountered by Son Goku, who has just escaped from Hell after being trapped there by the scientists. Goku powers up to Super Saiyan form and engages Super 17 in combat, but using a new secret technique to absorb all of Goku's energy blasts, Super 17 proves to be far more powerful than the Super Saiyan.

To his shock, Goku emerges from the water as a Super Saiyan 4. They battle once again, and by absorbing multiple Kamehameha attacks from him, Super #17 powers up even further, dwarfing that of the hero. In a last ditch effort, Goku prepares to use a self-destruct technique to destroy Super 17 once and for all. The technique backfires, since Super 17 creates an energy shield to protect himself and Goku from destruction.

As Super 17 prepares to finish off the exhausted Goku with his Dengeki Jigoku Dama, Android 18 steps in to stop him in order to avenge Kuririn. After some emotional talk in which Super 17 shows that there are still some signs of moral decency within him, Super 17 remembers his free will and mercilessly kills Doctor Myu by redirecting the attack towards him, sending him back to Hell in much the same way as Gero before him.

But Super 17 does not reform there. He challenges 18 to a battle in which 18 continuously fires energy blasts which are absorbed by Super 17, despite Goku's warnings. Goku then sees Super 17's weak point: he is defenceless while performing an absorption. Taking his chance, Goku flies nearer to Super 17 and manages to fire a Super Dragon Fist straight through Super 17's torso, seriously wounding him.

All this is made possible by the real Android 17; he allowed Goku to see Super 17's weakness in order to be defeated (Goku tells 18 that he sensed his mind through Super 17 during the fight and 18 said she did too). But just before Super 17 can realize what is happening, his life is brought to a drastic end when Goku finishes him off by firing a Super Kamehameha through Super 17's wound, obliterating the Super Android.

18 believed at the end that the real 17 influenced Super 17 on some level, helping them win.
