Android 17 is a fictional character from the anime of Dragon Ball Z first introduced in The History of Trunks and played a major role in the Androids Saga and later the Imperfect Cell Saga. His original name was Lapis when he was a ordinary human, is the twin brother of Android 18, and Dr. Gero's 17th android creation, designed to serve Gero's vendetta against Goku and the Red Ribbon Army's plans of world domination.
Despite his interests not initially deviating from this expectation, Android 17 takes it upon himself to kill Dr. Gero, who is uncooperative with Android 18's curiosity in activating Android 16 and deemed inferior by 17.
Android 17 makes a return a decade later in Dragon Ball Super, working as a national park ranger on a remote island, preserving wildlife from poachers. He is married and has a child, with two more children being adopted. He is asked by Goku to join Team Universe 7 in the Tournament of Power and due to Goku and Frieza's sacrifice to take out Jiren, he is left as the sole fighter remaining by the end of the tournament and the one who makes the wish on the Super Dragon Balls.
