Freeza commented that he had parentS(plural) while he was fighting Goku:
This suggests that he had/has a mother... And she was evidently quite powerful, as Freeza implied that both of his parents were capable of knocking him around, like Goku was doing. /shrug
Anyway, it would be very cool to introduce her as a villain... And she would actually have a valid/meaningful motive: revenge against those filthy apes for killing her husband and son.

That could easily be a mistranslation. The English dubbed version has a lot of it.

And no, VIZ does not have "a lot" of translation mistakes. It perfectly aligns with the original Japanese manga 95% of the time.

^ You'd think so, but knowing Toriyama he probably forgot all about that line before he was even done writing the Freeza saga. Now(decades later), there's no way in Hell that he still gives a shit, lol.
When something is amiss in the DBverse, half of the time the problem is Toriyama forgetting something he established earlier.
