Cooler

Cooler and Frieza have always had a sibling rivalry, and the older brother is involved with the Frieza force, which their father passed on to Frieza instead of him. Cooler is a planet subjugator, and there are suggestions that he has taken over 250+ planets. Cooler was also present at the destruction of Planet Vegeta, home of the Saiyans, and saw the escape of Goku in a space pod to Earth with the aim of subjugating it. Initially intent on destroying the escape pod with Goku on it, Cooler delayed the order to fire at the pod, instead berating his brother’s incompetence in letting a child escape. 

Cooler’s resentment towards Frieza only grew to the point where even after his younger sibling’s death, he admitted to Goku that he would have sought to kill him. He gained a victory over his brother as he achieved his fourth transformation and obtained more power than Frieza.

At some point, Cooler is kidnapped by Fu and taken to Prison Planet. It is here that he perfects his golden form as he tries to escape from the planet with Future Trunks. He eventually gets into conflict with Goku, Cumber, and Fu. Cooler even takes down Goku and is finally able to escape from the disintegrating Prison Planet by following Fu through a portal. 

Playstyle

Cooler does most of his best work by controlling the space in neutral. He has some great buttons with amazing range, which makes him a great character to catch out opponents with. Unfortunately, he is also quite susceptible to whiff punishes, and his slow movements can make him difficult to maneuver.
