Powers: Brilliant computer mind. Evil genius whose schemes are capable of destroying whole civilizations. "Interfaces" with his ship - becomes a part of it - to power it.
Weaknesses: An insane fear and hatred of Superman and of the being he calls the "Master Programmer".
This is a great version of the Superman foe. I remember when Brainiac went from the bald, green genius to the ultimate robot computer! That moment, in my opinion, boosted Brainiac's fan base. He was made very similar to what looked like a terminator-like robot with an awesome kick! This figure was one of the coolest villains in the line! The only problems I could find on this figure is that the arms can pop off or even break off if you're not careful and that the legs do not bend. I bought this guy on a badly damaged C-6 card in 2001 for $35.00. I would say a Brainiac on a C8/9 card goes between $25.00 to $55.00. A C8/9 loose/complete figure goes for around $15 to $30.00....[See More]
