Brainiac is a fictional character, a DC Comics supervillain and frequent opponent of Superman. Created by Otto Binder, he first appeared in Action Comics #242 (July 1958). Due to complex storylines involving time travel, cloning, and revisions of DC's continuity, several variations of Brainiac have appeared.

Brainiac has been one of Superman's most important enemies ever since the villain's first appearance, and is responsible for shrinking Kandor, the capital city of Superman's home planet Krypton which the hero has vowed to restore.

Though at his core Brainiac is formless, most incarnations depict him as a bald, green-skinned alien android from the planet Colu, and one of the most intelligent villains in the DC universe, capable of possessing others, creating and manipulating computer systems, and exerting some control over time and space. Brainiac's name derives from the -IAC naming trend among early electronic computers, after ENIAC: ILLIAC, JOHNNIAC, MANIAC, SILLIAC, etc. In the television series Smallville, BRAINIAC is said to stand for "BRAIN InterActive Construct".

Brainiac has been adapted into the Super Friends animated series, as well as the subsequent DC Animated Universe and the live-action Superman adaptation Smallville.

    Brainiac in the news

    Here is a recipe for disaster. It seems every CGI studio think they can Rumpelstiltskin their computers and weave gold with them. The poster says it all, "Here comes trouble." Yes that is Jason Lee, and his name is not Alvin. Who were the brainiacs behind this Ratatouille Run DMC rip-off. I hope they can make a real go of it.

    Do you want to be an astute, athletic, brainiac doctor? Or a carefree, saxophone-playing taxi cab driver? Would you rather go shopping, or sit on the couch and watch TV? Socialize with your friends, or play with your dog? Study self-help books, or read the tabloids? In Kudos, it's your call.

    If these are the magical elixir they seem to claim, i think i might need cases of the Vacation alternating with Brainiac… and occasional doses of Youth Trip and Light Weight mixed in as well.
