In other media Television Live action James Marsters primarily played Brainiac in Smallville, with additional portrayals done by John Schneider (Jonathan Kent in season five), John Glover (Lionel Luthor in season seven), Laura Vandervoort (Kara Zor-El in season seven) and Allison Mack (Chloe Sullivan in season eight). Acting as a central antagonist for seasons five and seven and a supporting villain for season eight , Brainiac is mostly referred to by his assumed name of "Milton Fine", but Jor-El refers to him as the BRAIN InterActive Construct. This interpretation is similar to the DC animated universe version; a  self-aware computer in humanoid form with a Kryptonian origin who had a part in the planet's destruction (having destabilized Krypton's core alongside Zod). In addition to portrayed as a shapeshifting AI (resembling the T-1000  ) capable of mimicking Kryptonian abilities and able to duplicate, it was created by Dax-Ur (who abandoned the project) and completed by Jor-El, but corrupted by Zod. Introduced in season five (though alluded in season four's finale where he was part of the  Ship carrying the Disciples of Zod), he first appears under the Milton Fine name, posing as a history professor at (fictional) Central Kansas A&M University and presenting himself as a Kryptonian ally to trick Clark Kent into releasing Zod from the Phantom Zone. Even going far to proclaiming Jor-El was a murderer and the one who infected Mrs. Kent with a virus while Zod was the hero of all Krypton. But after Clark learns the truth in his Fortress, Brainiac is defeated and precedes to manipulates Lex Luthor under the guise of being a government agent into creating a 'vaccine' . It's revealed that will make Luthor's body suitable to act as Zod's new host after temporarily shutting down all of Earth's electronics with a virus. Although apparently destroyed,  Brainiac is seen in season seven hiding in Suicide Slums when offered help from the "phantom Clark. The weakened humanoid manipulated the fake Clark into helping regain his full power by locating Dax-Ur, to which he killed by downloading his creator 's memories. Brainiac would continue to convince Luthor that Clark is a threat by impersonating Kara Zor-El and revealing Clark's secret identity to Luthor, but is defeated in battle by Clark and seemingly killed by overloading his body with electricity. However,  Brainiac returns in season eight, possessing Chloe Sullivan to use as a means of unleashing Doomsday through Davis Bloome on Earth, as part of Zod's contingency plan. The Legion of Super-Heroes assist Clark in extracting Brainiacfrom Chloe and taking him to the future  , but are too late to stop him from releasing Doomsday. A reprogrammed version of Brainiac returns in season ten from the future  , offering Clark advice on his future growth as a superhero. An alternate version of Brainiac/Milton Fine appears in the season seven episode "Apocalypse". Living in a universe where Kal-El never arrived on Earth, Brainiac is the White House Chief of Staff under President Lex Luthor and alongside Kara Zor-El (under the name "Agent Danvers"). When the appearance of Kal-El from another universe exposed Brainiac to those around him, Lex shot Clark and Kara and activated a Nuclear football to destroy most of the planet to remake. With his directives of destroying humanity and with Lex as the vessel for Zod, Brainiac was about to kill Clark, when Jor-El brought Clark back to his native reality. Brainiac is referenced multiple times in Supergirl. His Coluan descendant Indigo appears as a villain in the first season, who is referred to as "a member of the Brainiac clan". Another of his descendants, the heroic Brainiac 5 is later featured as a member of the 31st century's Legion of Super-Heroes. In the episode "Battles Lost and Won", Brainiac 5, reveals that in stopping the Blight in the present day timeline, the original Brainiac has been resurrected in the future. Brainiac appears as the main antagonist of the first season of Krypton, portrayed by Blake Ritson. Feared throughout the universe as "The Collector of Worlds", Brainiac targets Krypton and seeks to steal the capital city of Kandor before destroying the entire planet. To prevent him from doing so, Seg-El sacrifices himself and banishes Brainiac to the Phantom Zone. In season two, Brainiac transfers his consciousness into Seg's mind while they are trapped together. During the finale, Brainiac manages to separate himself from Seg and leaves in his starship. The character, sporting a look similar to his post-2008 incarnation, was created via a combination of extensive makeup/prosthetics and CGI.Here's your first look at Superman villain Brainiac on the Syfy prequel series 'Krypton'.
