  Brainiac (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brainiac is a fictional supervillain in the DC Comics universe, most often appearing as an opponent of Superman.
His chief aide was "Leniac", a green-skinned teenager with "control discs" on her forehead, suggesting the diodes of earlier Brainiacs (and identical to the forehead discs of the "upgraded" Brainiac 5.1, in the Legion, and the Animated Series version of the original Brainiac).
Brainiac was also equipped with a Kryptonite beam and the ability to track Superman by his DNA.

 Brainiac - Supermanica   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Brainiac is an evil space mastermind and fearsome super-foe with an arsenal of awesome nightmarish scientific weapons at his command, and is perhaps the most terrible evil-doer in all the universe, a creature of superhuman intelligence, great scientific ability, and utter ruthlessness who is said to know the universe as no mere man knows it.
Although Brainiac - with his green eyes and light-green skin - closely resembles the humanoid native inhabitants of the far-distant planet Colu, he is actually a sinister computer spy created by the computer tyrants which had seized control of that planet as the first step in a scheme of interplanetary conquest.
Brainiac is sometimes accompanied on his marauding journeys through space by his alien pet, Koko, a white extraterrestrial creature which closely resembles a small monkey except for the twin antennae protruding from its forehead.

 Superman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As portrayed in Action Comics #1, Superman was born on the planet Krypton as Kal-El, and rocketed to Earth as an infant by his scientist father moments before the planet's destruction.
After the establishment of DC Comics' Multiverse in the 1960s, it is established retroactively that the Golden Age version of Superman lives on the parallel world of Earth-Two and is named Kal-L, while his Silver Age counterpart lives on Earth-One and is named Kal-El.
Other post-Crisis comics show that the relationship between the two is a trusting one, despite the unease each feels due to the differences in their methods: Superman relies on trust and strength to achieve his goals in cooperation with the law, while Batman relies on violence and fear and operates outside the law.

This Brainiac was beaten by the Justice League, and the Flash in particular.
After the defeat, all that was left of Brainiac was a small piece of its body, which came into the possession of Gorilla Grodd, while Luthor himself continued to speak to Brainiac's consciousness, apparently still existing within his own mind.
On a humorous note, while posing as a professor, Brainiac poses the often repeated question and answer to the class "Where is the most powerful computer in the universe?" followed by several taps on his own temple, making the subtle joke that his Artificial Intelligence is more powerful than their natural intelligence.

 Computers in Comic Books
Superman's fellow DC Comics hero, Batman, had the Batcomputer in his Batcave; this wonderful machine was an indefatigable ally in his war against crime, but it was a mechanical computer, basically an electronic card sorter, and that's where the battle line was drawn.
In comics the illusion of movement must be maintained; stationary computers are visually dull except as props, like the multitude of large mainframes that decorate the laboratory of Reed Richards, leader of Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four.
But comic books are created to be entertainment, not serious speculation; writers may use computers (or their comic book counterparts, robots and androids) as a means to critique humanity, but they are not cyberneticists.

Through all the various incarnation of Brainiac, he's impossible to pin down because everytime there's a revamp in the comics, Brainiac is always changed...The pre and post crisies versions were enough on their own...but then you get shows like STAS and Smallville that make their own continuity.

 Lethal-Luthors: Alexander Wainwright also known as Lex Luthor
According to this comic tale the reality was far stranger: Lena was really the sister of Lex Luthor, who sought to discourage Lois from writing the story for fear it would reveal their parentage to Lena.
Although the comics played up the angle of her being nearly rejected because of being Lex Luthor's "sister" despite her not having known that, this actually did not have any bearing on her hiring.
The comic book adventures were often their only source of income and so they did not object to the wild tales conjured up by the artists and writers.
