Fashion victim

Look at the state of that. If you are a super-genius with a brain that operates on the "12th level" (his words) then surely you can come up with a better costume than that.

Can you imagine what went through Brainiac's mind when he got dressed that day: "I think I'll wear my skin-tight purple bodysuit and offset it with one black glove - oh and those black Speedos from the back of my underwear drawer. Hmm - still missing something. Ah - just in case my green skin doesn't get me noticed I'll string the hide from some albino hamsters together, wrap them around my body and fashion a few more into a pair of furry boots. Oh, only enough hamster hide for one boot – I'm sure no-one will notice. Still something missing... I know, I'll stick my other hand up a rabbit's bum and wear that as a glove. Sorted."

He should get some fashion advice from some of Superman's other adversaries. Take Lex Luthor - apart from that dodgy power suit in the 80s (what is it with DC and green a purple?), Lex has alway been nicely turned out. That's what you need Brainaic, a well-cut Armani suit and some tasteful brogues. And perhaps Mr Mxyzptlk's hat.

If we can look past the costume, Brainiac should be a force to be reckoned with on the Heroclix map. No dial yet, but he weighs in at 159pts and has powers including Mind Control, Regeneration and TK. See the source link below for a preview of one side of his card.
