Brainiac is a recurring supervillain in DC Comics, primarily known as an adversary of Superman. Debuting in Action Comics #242 in 1958, the character is typically portrayed as an extraterrestrial being with immense intellect and a cold, calculating demeanor. He is obsessed with collecting knowledge and information from across the universe.

In many iterations, Brainiac achieves his goals through the miniaturization and theft of entire cities, which he adds to his vast collection. Often depicted as a bald, green-skinned humanoid, Brainiac’s appearance and origins have varied over the decades. Regardless of the specific incarnation, Brainiac represents a significant intellectual and physical threat to Superman and the Earth.
