History
Brainiac was originally a Coluan named Vril Dox who was the greatest scientist on his homeworld in the fields of force field technology and miniaturization. But when his own government deemed him a threat, Vril Dox transferred his homeworld's database into a star ship that he hardwired himself to, constructing an army of robot servants to miniaturize the city that his family lived on so it can be bottled within a force field while the rest of Vril Dox's homeworld is destroyed. From there, completely merged with his vessel's software, Vril Dox spread his consciousness across a series of robot duplicates that would each travel to a part of the universe and abduct cities before destroying the invaded planet to ensure the amassed knowledge of a world's culture would not be outdated. One such planet would be Krypton, But Brainiac only took its city of Kandor as he foresaw no need to destroy the already doomed planet. Brainiac's drones would eventually reach Earth, where through his drones he faces Superman.
Death Battle Info
- 12th-level intellect
- For comparison, the population of 20th century Earth as a whole (excluding superhumans, other robots or cyborgs, nonhumans, Lex Luthor and other outliers) constitutes a 6th-Level intelligence and the population of 31st century Earth as a whole is a 9th-Level intelligence.
- Theoretically this means Brainiac alone has the intelligence of at least the entire population of Earth in the 41st century.
- For comparison, the population of 20th century Earth as a whole (excluding superhumans, other robots or cyborgs, nonhumans, Lex Luthor and other outliers) constitutes a 6th-Level intelligence and the population of 31st century Earth as a whole is a 9th-Level intelligence.

- Similar tentacles exist throughout Brainiac's mothership and can be summoned during a duel.
- Solar-Aggressor capable of destroying stars. (basically a ICBM missle that travels at least light speed).
- Cybernetically enhanced strength, endurance
- His mothership can fuel his body; thus increasing his strength to be on par with that of kryptonians
- Telepathy, Telekinesis
- Psychic powers further augmented by an implanted electrode head-piece
- Plasma, psychic or electrical blasts (normally from his hands or head) able to rival Superman's heat-vision.
- Tractor beams.
- Teleporters.
- Self repair
- Can increase his power and physique by absorbing technology around him. [5] [6]

Flaws

- Extremely arrogant
- Despite his advanced technology; Brainiac's armor is surprisingly frail. Without his forcefields, Brainiac becomes vulnerable.
- Cannot self-repair if his hardware drive is destroyed: as that is his 'brain'.
- After being separated from the ship he physically starts to deteriorate and is far less powerful.
- Was bested and knocked out by Batman after he was disconnected from his ship (Injustice 2)
- Germaphobic as his alien biology makes him vulnerable to Earthly diseases.
- Control freak.
- Characters confirmed to be less intelligent than Brainiac have managed to outsmart him.
- Lex Luthor has described Brainiac as being too narrow minded or not very creative.
- Despite being smarter then the entire population of Earth (including Lex Luthor, Batman, etc) he was never successful in conquering it
Trivia
- A Superman fused with Doomsday's DNA fused again with Brainiac, creating a 'Super Brainy Doom'. [12]
