Description Figured, since I did the version of Goku from the awesome 'Saiyans in DC Universe' What-If? by the 'Geeks for Fun ' group, why not the version of Vegeta?

As stated in the previous submission , in this what-if, the Saiyans get swapped out with the Kryptonians of the DC Universe. And thus, being Saiyans, they brought their attitude/culture to the DC Universe. But the cosmos of DC Comics are much different than that of Dragon Ball, and thus the Saiyans's violent ways make them many enemies.

In stark contrast to how things, apparently, played out with the Kryptonians... when Rogol Zaar seeks the permission of this apparent 'Galactic Council' (I'm fuzzy on the details as to who they are) that he works for... to exterminate the Saiyans, he finds a resounding YES vote from them.

During this time, young Prince Vegeta was wanting to prove himself to his father, the King, and against his father's wishes... went out (with Nappa and Raditz in tow) and took on the Thanagarians in some attempt to gain glory and conquest. Thanks in part to Zenkai Boosts and then Oozaru Ape forms, they just managed to barely succeed in destroying the capitol city of Thanagar. Flushed with pride at his accomplishment, Vegeta and his subordinates return home to show off their grisly trophies... only to realize that while they were gone... Planet Vegeta was utterly destroyed. Finding only a barren asteroid field where it once was.

Seemingly more aghast at the affront against his 'Saiyan Pride' for what transpired than anything else, Vegeta realizes that if someone is targeting the Saiyans, then his younger (exiled) brother, Tarble was undoubtedly on that list. Arriving far too late, the three Saiyans can only bear witness as Tarble is mercilessly cut down by Rogol Zaar.

The three put up a valiant fight, but this Zaar guy is someone who can easily square off with a Superman-level opponent, and try as they might... they find their already considerable power quite lacking against him. Before Zaar can finish them off, a boom tube suddenly opens up... and Parademons swarm out, acquiring the Saiyans amidst the confusion, before taking them back to their master.

Darkseid.

Long story short, the dread lord of Apokolips is no benevolent savior, and isn't looking for 'simple employees' like Lord Frieza seemingly was as he puts all three warriors through their own personal hells to mold them into his own personal devoted servants. Nappa gets to 'enjoy' the gladiatorial pits, Raditz is given over to the 'tender mercy' of Granny Goodness, but the Prince... he gets to be Darkseid's own personal project... and made into his 'adopted son'. Needless to say, by the end of it all, the trio (despite holding out as long as possible) all succumb to Darkseid's will one way or another.Β 

Even Vegeta.

So imagine just the kind of chaos that comes calling when those three show up on Earth one day.

As with the 'DC Universe' Goku, I used the awesome artwork/designs of Adamo Zockermaul (aka: SirBalsa) to craft this stellar '4th World'/Kirby-esque outfit for Vegeta.

Hope it looks good.

Can you draw what DC Universe Vegito looks like.


Also, similar to what you did with DC Goku and DC Vegeta, can you do Marvel Goku and Marvel Vegeta, please. Also, can you please do Marvel Vegito.

; I didn't draw these designs, just did a sprite based on someone else's artwork.

No kidding! Crazy hair aside, I could totally see this version of Vegeta in the DCU.

tagged you in the submission. I based it entirely on your sprite work while emulating the dragonball art style, though looking at sirbalsa's art after the fact... I feel like I should've upped my game.Β  oh well. I did two versions.

Hah! I kinda like the idea of the Saiyan Saga trio falling prey to the worst of the worst on Apokolips, especially with Darkseid doing to Vegeta what he once did to Superman and Supergirl, only succeeding this time. As for this Rogol Zaar fellow...Meh, I prefer the idea of Krypton dying on its own due to a natural disaster rather than the machinations of a villain, though I admit I haven't read any stories featuring this new fellow so I don't know how well written he is, though he certainly sounds like something the New 52 era of DC comics would think up. That being said, I DO like what Superman the Animated series did with a similar concept, namely how Brainiac, who is a Kryptonian AI computer in the DCAU, was partly to blame for the extinction of the Kryptonian race because he covered up the early warnings of Krypton's destruction in order to buy time to download himself and ALL of Krypton's accumulated knowledge to an orbiting satellite, deeming that more important than saving Krypton's people. I really liked how they handled that story despite it being different from the original comic book origin of Brainiac, it tied Brainiac more closely to Superman, created a reason for their rivalry to be far more personal than ever before, and it made Brainiac to blame for why Clark and Kara are the last of their kind without making him the actual cause of their home world's destruction, he simply took advantage of that opportunity to take what he wanted from his creators and bail before he could die with them. Granted, not EVERY super villain needs to have their origin be that closely tied to that of their nemesis, like Joker doesn't need to be the one who killed Bruce's parents like in the 1989 film, and Lex Luthor doesn't have to be a childhood friend of Clark Kent like in Smallville etc, but I feel like it worked for DCAU Superman & Brainiac...Plus, having Brainiac be a rogue AI makes it more acceptable for Supe's to break his no killing rule whenever they meet XD.Β

he's created/written by Bendis, so he's bound to be interesting at the very least. I don't know he destroyed Krypton, or why he hates Kryptonians so strongly. I think it's still being written.

Only thing that comes to mind is possible experiences with Doomsday, who is technically a Kryptonian creation. That or a Kryptonian came to his world and destroyed it with superpowers?



The animated version pretty much changed who Brainiac is/was, or at least how he is handled.

Man, this version of Vegeta is just awesome. I wonder what he will do now...

SXGodzilla In reply to JokuSSJ [2019-10-01 06:30:27 +0000 UTC]

methinks keep as far away from Darkseid as possible.


Though part of me is wondering, since Lois in this timeline is basically the Bulma analogue, if Vegeta will end up with her.

JokuSSJ In reply to SXGodzilla [2019-10-01 10:01:00 +0000 UTC]

Well, I don't think humans would be as forgiving as they are in Dragon Ball.

Honestly, I can see Vegeta ending up with someone like Komand'r better known as Blackfire or even Superwoman.
