Vegeta hasn't always been the most compassionate Dragon Ball character, but he's made some important friends over the years.

Nappa was the definition of strength in the early days of Dragon Ball Z when we thought the saiyans were the biggest threat ...

Vegeta, originally a villain, is younger than Goku but older than other villains at 29 years old. Nappa, a short-lived villain, is the oldest Saiyan in the series at around 50 years old.

Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz are canon Saiyans that survived Planet Vegeta's destruction due to luck and stubbornness. Broly and Paragus survived in different ways in their canon and non-canon versions.
