but do we know who/where/what Tien's parents are?
Guys seriously, what? Are we gonna argue that Gohan is the strongest earthling now. Lol.
Tien ia human. He just had some alien DNA in him since someone in his deep history was an alien. According to Toriyama, there are a lot of humans with alien DNA in Dragon Ball's Earth, which is why the humans in Dragon Ball looked weird a times.

he's the strongest character who's at least half earthling, yea

So Merged Zamusa is strongest Saiyan?
Now we're just throwing semantics around, it's pretty obvious what's meant when they say Kuririn is the strongest earthling.
I don't think there's a definitive answer from Toriyama on it. Given that the title of strongest earthling goes to someone who continually jobs before him and the beliefs of several production staff members, I'd wager Tenshinhan doesn't count as someone from Earth.

I dunno guys, let's ask Launch! ...Oh
I wanna see this side-story manga right after the Vegeta surfing series
How about this? Goku is an alien raised on Earth, just as Tien is according to the tweet labeling him a descendant of aliens. You say Tien is an Earthling, so wouldn't that make Goku one as well, and thus stronger than "The Strongest Earthling"?
Clearly Earthling is being used in place of human, Krillin's species.
I wish they would surprise me, but I've honestly abandoned all hope at this point.

I don't think anyone dislikes him; him doing something awesome could/would be.... awesome; it's just that he's clearly weaker than half of the U7 team so he's as good as gone
Who's he stronger than besides maybe Krillin

Wasnt he a god beforehand? Atleast he had God Ki....
He's a prototype Super Saiyan 5.
More than half.
Toriyama called Krillin the strongest Earthling and Tien jobbed more than Krillin. Tien wasn't even part the Namek/Frieza Saga unlike Tien who was dead.
He is called an Earthling, plain and simple, while Gohan is always called a hybrid or a Saiyan.

Cell doesnt have a soul, has he? The only time we saw him in hell was in the Janemba movie I think...

The key word in that tweet is "therefore," meaning he isn't considered an Earthling/human.

Before the Future Trunks arc I always thought "Human" referred to a race while "Earthling" referred to the place of residence, so for example Goku, Piccolo, Gohan, and Turtle are all Earthlings but only Gohan is Human (half-human). Of course the Future Trunks arc made me aware of the confusing "Ningen" word in Japanese and I just stopped caring about the exact terminoogy anymore.
It's all fun and games until you realise Uub lives now and is the strongest earthling.
I don't... actually know. But seeing as how A16, 17 and 18 can be revived Cell can too?
Tenshinhan went out there because he got suicidal after Chaozu went out. Every fight after that Ten has been more active than Kuririn.

To be fair ningen is just Japanese and translation issue, though why official translators write it as human is confusing
He is a bio-android and thus contains living cells, one can assume he could be revived like 17; whereas Android 16 was fully machine and could not.
17 and 18 are modified humans them being called Androids is due to translating what basically meant "artificial humans".
16 wasn't revived afaik
Cell was basically a biological robot so until confirmation he probably doesn't have a soul

17 and 18 can be revived cause they were humans before. 16 and Cell were created artificially, so they dont got a soul, atleast thats my headcanon... 16 hasnt been revived, has he?

I wish Tienshinhan would have a cool moment, but it's not going to happen is it? 
The Shin Kikoho against Semi-Perfect Cell is still one of the most badass moments in the entire series.

Uub has the most potential but I doubt he was actually stronger than Goku as of EoZ.
We don't know if 16 can be revived actually. He most likely can't since he wasn't.
Cell has a soul because when he exploded on Kaio's planet Kaio mentioned that Cell was still alive because his soul wasn't in the line to King Enma's office.
Yeah, when I say strongest earthling I'm still not comparing him to Goku or the other half Saiyajins.
Oic. WELL THEY COULD JUST WISH HIM BACK OR SOMETHING (not from the afterlife).
Cell was grown in a tank, 16 was just machine parts like 19.
They probably don't even need Crystal Balls, they can probably build him back if they really care

Nah Bulma said Gero's technology was so advanced even she had trouble understanding all of it.

Wasnt 20 Dr.Gero? Could he be revided? I mean not that anyone would want to
Would he come back in his human body?
Well crystal balls then if they really care it's not like it's hard to find now
Wasnt 20 Dr.Gero? Could he be revided? I mean not that anyone would want to
He was a human converted to an android like 17 & 18, so I'm assuming he could.
Didn't he only have his brain left? If so, then I think he would be a human again.
This is a good point.... hard to say, I guess.

Good question...17 came back in his "android" body...

Animedia polled people in Tokyo.

It would be funny if they tried to bring back 16 and Shenron revives Dr Gero's son instead.
I never understood why Gero didn't collect the Dragon Balls and revive his son if he loved him enough to build a robot in his image.

You mean the fat bug?
Weird concept too. Cell absorbed like how many humans and his form didnt change, why did it then?
Yea he did, Cell-X. Toriyama was supposedly involved with DBO, but who knows to what extent.
Those results are disgusting (I've been rooting for Gohan and 17 the most).
Look how that has worked out for Pilaf.

Maybe he tried, but Goku and others got in his way, so he invented those tiny robots oberserving them and is hatred for Goku kicked in?
I just remembered he'd have to wrestle Gohan for his hat to get the fourth Dragon Ball. The main cast are such a bunch of jerks just hogging that power to themselves. Like Bulma is already the richest person on Earth, let someone else use it already.

I think it's the typical villain logic where the dude is more interested in revenge than in actually undoing what makes him want revenge in the first place.
Similarly Magus in Chrono Trigger never actually tried to prevent the Fall of Zeal or his sister's "death"; all he wanted was to approach Lavos and get his little personal revenge on him at any cost.
