What’s so special about Cell’s body that makes him one of the most dangerous villains in Dragon Ball Z?
Cell is one of the most memorable villains in , a powerful enemy capable of absorbing other people’s lives and taking away their life energy. But thanks to his distinct genetic makeup, he can use some very interesting abilities.
Can suck other people’s life force with tail One of Cell’s most fearsome powers is the ability to absorb anyone’s life force and chi, using his tail. The Imperfect and Semi-Perfect Cell forms both possess a long tail, similar in function to a mosquito’s proboscis. 
Through it, Cell can stab people’s bodies and drain them of their life force at high speed, rendering their bodies to nothing in an instant. This move helps Cell to store gas, and at the same time increases his gas limit, which means making him stronger. In the case of absorbing Android 17 and Android 18, Cell can extend the tail to swallow the target, since they cannot use the suction method because they are not human. 
Can regenerate at the cellular level Resilience is possibly one of Cell’s most useful attributes. Possessing Namekian DNA in him, Cell has the ability to regrow severed limbs when desired. Although the process is painful, it does away with any damage left on Cell during the battle. 
Thanks to his sheer strength, that healing factor was actually able to regenerate his body from a single cell, allowing him to come back to life even after he used the self-destruct attack. Along with his resilient Frieza DNA, his healing factor appears to be significantly stronger than that of the Namekians. Theoretically, this makes Cell nearly impossible to kill. However, if hit with a blow strong enough to literally destroy all of the cells, leaving nothing left behind at the molecular level, then Cell would definitely die. The Saiyan DNA helps to give the advantage of constantly increasing power 
As the most aggressive warrior race in the universe, the Saiyans have many ways to increase their strength. And so is Cell. Thanks to Goku and Vegeta’s DNA, Cell has the potential to increase dramatically after each battle. 
The most prominent is probably the ability to strengthen after each wound healing. Basically, this is an ability that is ingrained in the Saiyan way of life, making them always look for challenges and push the limits when they fail. Combined with the Namek’s healing ability, defeating him is extremely difficult because after each “killed”, he will gradually shorten the distance with the opponent. If Gohan’s full-powered Kamehameha wasn’t strong enough to destroy Cell on a molecular level, he would surely continue to get stronger. Frost Demon race survival ability 
Besides Saiyan and Namekian DNA, Cell also possesses Frieza’s DNA. This means that his survivability is as strong as or far beyond the Frost Demon race, allowing him to survive in space, overcome oxygen-deficient environmental conditions, and withstand the cold of outer space. Besides, Frieza’s intellectual property also gives Cell the potential to achieve Golden status, if he lives and trains himself long enough. Can make copies of yourself 
With the ability of the Namek clan, Cell can “breed” by “squirting” from the tail (instead of the mouth) thanks to asexual reproduction. These chicks are called Cell Junior, and look exactly like the baby version of the perfect Cell, but without a tail. This means that they are just inferior copies, not really “children” of Cell. 
When it was first created, Cell Junior was as strong as Vegeta and Trunks at the time. However, the ones that are still alive (after trying to regenerate) do not grow strong even after a decade, making them easily overpowered by Android 17 and become the guardians of Monster Island. .
