Concept & Creation
Broly is based off the original Broly from the Dragon Ball Z Broly film trilogy.
Appearance
Broly's initial appearance in Broly
In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Broly appears somewhat different. He is noticeably darker in skin-tone and has a scar across his left cheek, left bicep, and a cross-scar on his left pectoral, which is stated to be his most notable feature.[1] and is fairly more muscular. His attire consists of purple skin-tight pants with white boots that have a yellow striping at the toes. He also wears a green fur pelt draped around his waist and flows on the backside and blue wristbands. When wearing what appears to the latest model Frieza Force armor, he wears boots with black-legging and a white-lined top, a black chest protection with a mid-section and shoulder-pads, and black armbands with white edges. He also at some point has a mechanical necklace on his neck, which is implied to be tied to Paragus' belt.[1]

Power
- Film
Broly in his base state is capable of handling Super Saiyan Vegeta, while in his yellow-eyed state, he is powerful enough to not only handle Goku in both his Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan Blue states, but also give him enough of a challenge that Goku's top gi was destroyed by the time he transformed into his Super Saiyan C-Type. He is also shown to overwhelm Frieza in his final form.
- Statements by guidebooks and authors
In an article for Dragon Ball Super: Broly, a sidebar by Akira Toriyama (as Akira), described Broly as being an incredibly strong Saiyan as well as "that almighty Saiyan". Another part of the article also mentions that due to being so popular throughout the world it's even rumored he is the most powerful Dragon Ball character.[1]
A poster by Toyotarō for Dragon Ball Super: Broly show C-type Super Saiyan Broly fighting Perfected Super Saiyan Blue Goku, while Vegeta in the same form prepares to attack Broly from behind.
Techniques and Special Abilities
- Flight - The ability to fly through the use of ki.
- Ki Blast - The most basic form of energy wave.
- Saiyan Power - A genetic trait that continually lets a Saiyan increase in performance against adversity, either by recovering from great injuries or enduring great struggle in battle. Broly's Saiyan Power is likely more potent than that of the average Saiyan as Vegeta notes that Broly learns as he fights.
- Dashing Punch - Upon assuming a semi-crucified pose while levitating, also utilizing either an aura or his energy shield, Broly attacks the opponent by rushing at them at high speed to land a punch. Broly uses this attack on Vegeta.
- Eraser Cannon - First, Broly charges a green light energy from around his body and gathers it into his palm to form a bright-green energy sphere. Next, he waves his hand forward and fires the attack at the opponent, inflicting a large amount of damage. In some cases, he also fires it from his chest. He uses this attack against Frieza.
