Frieza, known as one of the cruelest villains in the Dragon Ball series, has shown a complete disregard for all life in the universe except his own. His actions have led to countless atrocities across the cosmos. However, in Dragon Ball GT, a planet-conquering villain is introduced who surpasses Frieza in terms of wickedness.
Even before making his first official appearance, Frieza's impact on the Dragon Ball universe was evident. He was responsible for the destruction of Planet Vegeta, effectively wiping out the entire Saiyan race. This was not an isolated incident, as it turned out that Planet Vegeta was not the first nor the last planet Frieza would annihilate. Billions of lives meant nothing to him if it meant strengthening his empire or satisfying his sadistic nature. However, despite his ruthless actions, Frieza did manage to maintain some semblance of order in his empire. The majority of the planets under his rule remained largely unaffected by his presence, except for the fact that they were now a part of Frieza's domain and had to obey his laws. Therefore, while Frieza's reputation as a heartless being is well-deserved, it is worth noting that not every planet he encountered was doomed, unlike the world-conquering villain in GT.
Machine Mutants Make Every Dragon Ball Planet they Take Over Unlivable
In Dragon Ball GT season 1, episode 17, Pan, Goku, and Trunks visit the planet M-2 at the suggestion of their friend Gill, who claims it was his former home. However, their visit turns out to be a trap set by the villainous Dr. Myuu and his team of powerful androids, known as the Sigma Force. Goku and Trunks are captured, leaving Pan to come up with a plan for their rescue.
During her mission, Pan discovers an area where abandoned Machine Mutants were left to die by Dr. Myuu. Here, she learns the truth about the purpose of the planet and the Machine Mutants. Dr. Myuu created the Machine Mutants to be an unstoppable army for conquering the universe in his name, similar to Frieza's ambitions. However, unlike Frieza, Dr. Myuu's conquests result in the complete destruction of organic life on the conquered planets. The terraforming process employed by the Machine Mutants transforms the planets into vast machines, rendering them uninhabitable for organic beings.
Given that Frieza allows the inhabitants of the planets he conquers to have a fighting chance at leading normal lives under his rule, while those under Dr. Myuu's control have absolutely no hope of survival, it becomes evident that Dragon Ball GT's planet-conquering antagonist is even more malevolent than Frieza.

In the vast universe of Dragon Ball, Frieza has long been the epitome of evil, a ruthless tyrant who has left a trail of destruction and countless lives lost in his wake. However, in Dragon Ball GT, a new villain emerges who takes malevolence to a whole new level: Dr. Myuu. While Frieza's reign of terror primarily involved subjugating planets and exploiting their resources, Dr. Myuu's ambitions are far more sinister.
Dr. Myuu's sole purpose is to conquer the universe, but not in the traditional sense of ruling over conquered worlds. Instead, he seeks to eradicate all organic life and replace it with his twisted vision of a mechanical utopia. His Machine Mutants are not merely tools of conquest but instruments of destruction, designed to transform planets into lifeless husks devoid of any organic matter. In this regard, Dr. Myuu's villainy transcends Frieza's, as he aims to eliminate the very essence of life itself.
