message: If Superman #167 was Brainiac's first appearance with skull diodes, why does he have them on the cover of Action #242?

message: incidentally.) 68.162.208.203 is right about the name being an Easter Egg, but the fact they chose that name must be significant; if it was "David Conners", I'd be advocating adding the character to the Eradicator article.Daibhid C 22:50, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I remember that episode of Smallville.  They were introducing the Eradicator, right?
In 'Vessel', Jor-el refers to Fine as the Brain InterActive Construct (Brain-i-a-c).  Is this worth mentioning?
It already is mentioned. Check out the first paragraph under Television. CovenantD 01:09, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Smallville's Milton Fine isn't Brainiac 

message: Although we all try and forget the movie, should Superman III be included as a appearance of Brainiac?  My understanding is that the super-computer was derived from his character.
:I never saw that movie, but if it was meant as a reference or shares a similar origin, then yes. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 05:30, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The information here is very confusing with very bad wording.  Perhaps someone with knowledge of this storyline should rewrite it.  I have no idea what to write because I have not read the story.

replies: text: Likewise the Pre-Crisis section needs some fine tuning to clarify that it is Brainiac 2 whose real name is Vril (sentence belongs in previous paragraph).  Or is it?  Man, this is one messed up character.  Asat 07:44, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I do not think the section added here should be in this article. 1)This article is for Brainiac.  He does not appear in that show.  At least not to where the above addition mentions it. 2)It contains unsourced speculation.  If anyone disagrees with me, feel free to discuss it here.  I'm removing the section again.--Rockfang (talk) 23:14, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  DC Universe Online's Brainiac 

message: I think a notable inclusion would be to include details of Brainiac A, the first Brainiac.
See http://www.dcindexes.com/database/story-details.php?storyid=7820
World's Finest Comics #158 Cover Date: June 1966
Briefly, after Robin and Jimmy Olsen discover a secret cave which contains three bottled cities similar to Kandor, it is suspected by Superman that Brainiac was responsible for shrinking the cities. However, it is found that the tThe cities were taken by Brainiac A, a precursor to the evil Brainiac. Brainiac A was not evil and uses the shrink ray to capture and imprison criminals. I believe that the story finishes with the speculation that perhaps one day Brainiac and Brainiac A would perhaps meet. However, I don't think this was ever developed and this story was Brainiac A's only appearance.

message: Brainiac destroys planets once he is done learning about them. If Doomsday counts as a weapon of mass destruction Brainiac; who is usually more robotic than alive should count as a weapon of mass destruction. I doubt the word was ever specifically used though it's a somewhat recent term. CensoredScribe (talk) 21:31, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is Brainiac a weapon of mas destruction? Yes 

message: The third sentence (entire second 'graph) of the article reads, with no context or explanation:
"'Cirius' or 'Sirius' designed the Brain Interactive Construct at University."
I haven't got any idea what this means, or how it regards Brainiac. Nothing else in the intro illuminated it for me. (I'm not knowledgeable abt. the subject matter.)
Can this sentence be either clarified (for relevance) or deleted?
PS. Perhaps this was a well-meant but vague attempt to address the comment "Backstory - Real World" above?
