#19 is Dr Gero's personal bodyguard, a chubby, white faced android. He sticks close to Dr Gero all the time to make sure Dr Gero is not ambushed. Dr Gero reckons that #19 is the best android he has ever built but Dr Gero has obviously gotten it all wrong. Firstly, #19 isn't too intelligent, and quite slow as well. The only advantage he has over some of the other androids Dr Gero has built is that #19 has the ability to absorb the opponent's energy, and adds them on top of his own. Apart from that, everything else is poor. #19 cannot recharge his own energy, hence the energy runs out. Vegeta eventually exploits #19's weaknesses, and then is killed by him.
