## Biography

### Early life

On the distant planet of Colu, a race of green-skinned humanoids with an average 6th-level intelligence manufactured a supercomputer, based on technology of the Supreme Intelligence, built to simulate a 10th-level intelligence. Unfortunately, the Coluans realized too late that their creation was made too well. Along with artificial intelligence, they had given the supercomputer the gift of sentience, and the ability to simulate all the vices and egotism of sentient biological creatures. Replicating itself multiple times over after enslaving the Coluan race, this supercomputer and its identical copies became the feared and merciless Computer Tyrants.

Vril Dox himself was born on Colu several hundred years before the destruction of Krypton and eventually became a Coluan scientist. At some point, he acquired a spaceship and went on a journey through space, acquiring knowledge and using his robotic drones to capture living organisms of various alien species. Along the way, Dox came into contact with the Skrulls and started a romance with the Skrull Empress Sy'Bll. He also clashed with Martian Manhunter on a few occasions. Along the way, he came to Krypton some time during the civil war. Whilst there, he aided General Zod who promised loyalty to the Skrull Empire in return. Dox also kidnapped the entire city of Kandor, which one of the only cities on Krypton that believed Jor-El's warning of doom for the planet; miniaturizing it in his spaceship for preservation and study.
