This is an odd thing I have been thinking of, concerning Raditz's overall appearance compared to the rest of his family.
When you look at Goku, he shares obvious similarities with his father Bardock, facial appearance, hairdo, body matches as well. And when you look at Goku's sons, they too share those familiar traits. Both Gohan and Goten look almost exactly like Goku when they were younger, and even as they age and mature, keep distinct facial cues that are similar to that of their father.
Now look at Vegeta's family, Vegeta looks exactly like his father, minus the haircolor, evil goatie and height as King Vegeta is noted to be a bit taller than Vegeta. Looking at Trunks, we do see similarities when it comes to his face, having similar facial cues that Vegeta has, particularly the eyes. Aside from the hair, one can easily tell Trunks is Vegeta's son.
Now enter: Raditz.
Raditz is, for lack of better words, a long haired Vegeta. He has the similar facial structure in both the original art, and the new art shown in games and the like. Further more he has that key widow's peak that Vegeta and King Vegeta have. He is nothing like Goku, nor like Bardock in any way, even shown to be far taller than either of them as an adult.
So what if Raditz was not Bardock's son, but King Vegeta's instead? Gine would still be the mother of course, making him half-brothers with both Goku and Vegeta due to sharing at least 1 same parent. As to why Gine would bed with King Vegeta? Well King Vegeta was shown to be a ruthless king whom did not have much concern for weaker Saiyans and their feelings. And when we look at our own history, Kings have been known to have harems and/or multiple wives. So it would not be impossible, Gine would basically be fornicated under consent of the king.
Bardock may have not be none the wiser, as Gine might have kept this secret from him, and I doubt Saiyans really paid attention to their dates on when they last had intercourse and how far along a woman is pregnant. So Raditz would have been born under the assumption that it is Bardock's son, Raditz may never have known the truth either. Vegeta may have known the truth, given there was a distinct lack of care about Raditz, he may not have enjoyed the thought of a half-brother whom also turned to be a weakling compared to him and Nappa.
And sure, this is probably all just a weird thought of which none of it is true...but Raditz looking so different from Bardock and Goku, and looking more like Vegeta, always had me wondering
