The brain-engrams of the dying Coluan scientist called Vril Dox were used by his world’s sinister sentient supercomputers, the Computer Tyrants, into an android body of their creation. Gifted with 10th-level intelligence, Dox was dubbed Brainiac and sent out into the universe to study other cultures. But this study would involve shrinking major cities from other planets and storing them in bottles aboard his ship. One of the most notable cities in Brainiac’s collection would be the city of Kandor, stolen from the planet Krypton not long before that world’s destruction. Who knew that world’s last survivors would go on to become Brainiac’s biggest opponents – Superman and Supergirl – when the so-called ‘Collector of Worlds’ finally made his way to Earth?
Created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino, Brainiac initially took the form of a green-skinned alien in skimpy shorts! It would be another 25 years before this intergalactic criminal would gain his most-menacing form – a redesign that would represent the character in the Super Powers toy line. While this was a memorable look for Brainiac, it would be short-lived due to the effects of the universe-altering events of CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS (1985-1986) which essentially ended DC Comics‘ Earth-One continuity.
Must Reads: Story arcs marked with a ✔ are must-read stories from this time period, along with any key related stories and often-forgotten tales that are worth a read.
Chronology: All appearances of the Brainiac of Earth-One are included in chronological order, laying out their timeline rather than just the order the issues were released; all first appearances are in reference to the Earth-One DC Universe continuity, unless otherwise stated.
Anthology Issues: When an issue contains multiple stories, the relevant story is denoted with square brackets. For example, [2/5] refers to the second story of the five stories in that issue, so you don’t need to read the other four.
Spoilers: The issue/story overviews may include spoilers, so be warned!
