Brainiac is a supervillain primarily known as an adversary of Superman. Originating from the planet Krypton (in some versions, Colu), he is characterized by his vast intellect and obsessive desire to acquire and preserve knowledge, often through destructive means.

He first appeared in Action Comics in 1958. He is typically portrayed as a bald, green-skinned humanoid (though his appearance has varied), with advanced technology that supplements his already considerable intelligence. A key aspect of Brainiac is his ruthless logic. He sees the acquisition of information as paramount, often disregarding the lives or well-being of those whose knowledge he seeks.

Brainiac's methods often involve shrinking cities or even entire planets, ostensibly to preserve them for study. However, this "preservation" often leads to destruction or enslavement, as he prioritizes his intellectual pursuits above all else.
