Abducted by the twisted Red Ribbon scientist Dr Gero, the young twins Lapis and Lazuli were forcibly modified into cyborgs, going by the serial numbers Android 17 and Android 18. The two were given a single task by Gero: Kill Son Goku. Although they betrayed (and killed) their creator, they continued in this task of their own volition, only for their task to be cut short by a greater threat in the form of Cell, who absorbed the two cyborgs to attain perfection. After Cell was defeated, both androids would be restored and reformed, with Android 18 marrying Krillin while Android 17 became a park ranger.
In Dragon Ball FighterZ, Android 18 uses a combination of mix-ups, pressure, and assist attacks from Android 17 to overwhelm her opponents and open them up to further damage.
