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abduct cities before destroying the invaded planet to ensure the amassed knowledge of a world's culture would not be outdated.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.
Will eventually revive himself if his motherboard is intact or if he downloaded his software into another computer.

Flaws

Cannot self-repair if his hardware drive is destroyed: as that is his 'brain'.
- This is normally depicted as a motherboard with 3 flashing lights.
Despite his advanced technology; Brainiac's armor is relatively frail. Without his forcefields, Brainiac becomes vulnerable.
His power deteriorates if he's away from his ship; as the batteries on his ship are his primary fuel source.
- Germaphobic as his alien biology makes him vulnerable to Earthly diseases.
- The biodiversity of Earth can overload his super-senses.
- After several days; being separated from his ship can be fatal as his health fades rapidly.
- KOed by Injustice Batman after he was separated from his ship.
Frequently defeated by Superman and The Justice League.
- Despite being smarter then the entire population of Earth (including Lex Luthor, Batman, etc) he was never successful in conquering it
- Most duels between Brainiac and Kryptonians are inside his ship; meaning the Kryptonians do not have sunlight to fuel them. Even when Kryptonians are weakened in this way, they can still overpower Brainiac.
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..
Extremely arrogant and a huge control freak
