The Clown Prince of Crime
Super Freak
See that's one of the things that really turned me off to DBZ even when it first came on in the U.S. That aspect of Dragonball Z was so damn repetitive and uninteresting dramatically. But of course, it appeals to kids who just want more and more outrageous battles.
Hmm...maybe that why Vegeta was the best character, because he wasn't the strongest usually and he actually evolves as a character, not just his powers and he becomes a good guy...sort of.
