The Superman sequel will come out Memorial Day 2028 and feature him teaming up with Supergirl to fight Brainiac. I'm positive of it

I really hope this is what it is and Gunn doesn't use this version of Brainiac. Reducing him to a strongman was always lame as fuck.

Would be cool if it was a Dr.Doom situation, where weโ€™ve only ever fought his robot clones, not the real Braniac. But on the other hand, having him be just an AI robot is lame. He should be Coluan

Why wouldnโ€™t a super smart villain who can upload himself into different bodies make himself a chad?

Comic book artists know how to draw exactly one body type and nothing else

I remember back in the day the unanimous consensus on /co/ was that Brainiac was better as a robot, I'm happy that turned around. Personally my favorite concept is that Vril Dox is a Coluan and he's "Brainiac 1" then upon his death his consciousness is uploaded to an android we call "Brainiac 2"
Kinda sets the stage for Brainiac 5

I hope Brainiac is not High Evo 2.0.

I like him as being some sort of mix between organic and inorganic parts, to the point where it's hard to tell what's biological and what's mechanical.

That said, Pre-Crisis Bronze Age 'Terminator' Brainiac is one of my favorite versions. Such a cool design that was.

You could make that version one of Braniacโ€™s heralds, or the template for his droid army. Or you could go the horror route, and reveal that Braniac has had so many augmentations, that if you strip him of his synthetic flesh, heโ€™s just a brain operating a robot. Would be a sick reveal

Yeah, they should use this design a lot more, or something like it.

I like the idea that this could be one of his bodies he's got lying around, one where he's more powerful and durable, to check especially powerful characters like Superman.

I do like the idea that it's the body he ends up using after exchanging all his biological organs for machinery. That's always a cool, creepy trope.
