  • We’ve seen many super-intelligent heroes or villains across different comic universes. So, here’s one that’s an actual supercomputer. Brainiac was created by Otto Binder and Al Pastino and made his first appearance in Action Comics 242. His origin story has numerous variations across timelines. He’s a level 12 intellect who easily surpasses anyone in the DC Universe, including Lex Luthor. Most of his origins place him as a being from the planet named Colu, although recent variations have made him of Kryptonian origin. He seeks to gain all the knowledge in the world and can quickly learn anything in the blink of an eye. He’s considered to be the most high-tech foe of Superman. So, today we explore the genius of this supervillain.

    I don't know why Warner Bros hates him so much. He was originally the villain for Superman 3 but they forced them to accept a horrible script instead. Superman Lives was cancelled likely BECAUSE of him or one of the main reasons. His appearance could've made Superman Returns make more sense, making Superman lose contact with Earth while he was away for five years. They fired Zack Snyder who had Brainiac in his Man of Steel 2 script. I hope he eventually shows up on Superman & Lois with the help Brainiac 5, Martian Manhunter and Dreamer

    In the Antimatter Universe, a version of Brainiac exists.
    This Brainiac, Anti-B, manipulated Lex Luthor of this Earth to cross dimensional barriers and enter the Matter Universe, or Earth Prime. Anti-B was subservient to Ultraman, a villainous counterpart to Superman, and his bots were not that tough for the Justice League.
    Anti-B was actually a combination of organic and synthetic materials, making Superman unable to destroy him. But when the dopplegangers were switched back, Ultraman lobotomized Brainiac and still had him a slave, mindlessly obeying orders.
    This Brainiac planned to destroy Earth 2 and Earth Prime, collecting the energies of both sides, saving trillions of people, and finally being free of Ultraman. Of course, this plan failed, because on Earth 2, good is evil, and evil wins.

    The evil that was manifested by Lex Luthor and Brainiac are exactly the kind of villains that make heroes shine!
    I'm not sure if that story is in this video, which means that it's probably not.

    Brainiac is such an horribly written character, he needs better writing and a substantial origin. Why would someone this powerful waste their time with Superman?! It's actually insulting to the character. Ultra Humanite and Gorilla Grodd also fall into this trope.
