I just want a pair of pants. A decent pair of pants.

Early 80s robot is the best design. Evil Coluan scientist is my preferred backstory.

why he green

>>149442313 (OP)
Coluan Alien, because Brainiac 5 needs to exist.
Anything is better than the Kryptonian AI shit they keep going with in adaptations.

Very true, I had the SuperFriends action figure where he looked like an alien Terminator and it's the best

>>149442313 (OP)
I liked the take on Superman 78.

So like.
What's exactly the deal with the Coluans?

Some species are just green.

Crazy how they put so much hype on it being ‘the ultimate brainiac’, only for Convergence to be a complete nothing burger. It’s a neat design, but the complete lack of villainy means this design will probably be forgotten.

What they all have in common?

>>149442313 (OP)
Coluan cyborg scientist, from 2017-present, is the best of both worlds between the robot AI, and the Coluan scientist imo. This way it’s not just an AI powered tin can, but a scientist who’s become more machine than human through his pursuit of knowledge. I think there’s more there to explore, and it gives a reason as to why he still loses even with supposedly 12th level intelligence. He’s still a fleshie at his core, driven by illogical fleshie desires of conquering and obtaining absolute knowledge

He has yet to reveal himself

>>149442313 (OP)
I always liked the 2006-7 design, the later designs sucked in comparison. Brainiac 13 looked really cool at the time, but the CGI has probably dated really badly.

What are the best Brainiac story arcs?

>>149445413
They're all Brainiac.

>>149442313 (OP)
The Milton Fine stuff always confused me.

The first Braniac story from the 50's really pushed the boundaries of what the artist could portray Superman doing. After reading it I realized that DCAU version was a cheap lazy work around.
