What is even happening?

Well, she certainly fits in with the very, very pretty requirements.

It's in the Superman animated cartoon that Brainiac is just an intelligence.

In the comics DCU, there are multiple generations of Brainiacs, some of which are robots, some of which are apparently AIs that can take over robots (I don't understand that plotline, or the math), and at least one of which has infected a human with an artificial parasite.

That's the one from BoP, right?

Thanks Michele.

And good going Rachel. It will be fun to watch her on that show.

Yes. But rereading, it seems like perhaps the creature in BoP was put there by (a) Brainiac, not that it is (a) Brainiac itself. The fact that they are calling it a virus in the latest issue is not helpful in sorting this through.

Regardless, just think "AI supervillain" when someone says "Brainiac," and you're covered, in some canon or other.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

But there was a teenage Brainiac 5 that was in the 30th century Legion of Super Heroes.

That's the one I remember!

I heard a rumor that Lucy Lawless is going to be on BSG this season. That true?

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

Consuela, I'm pretty sure it's true.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've seen a pic somewhere.
