proof of why Remaking is a good thing, you take utter train wrecks of ideas and make them interesting by completely reinventing them or re-contextualizing so their goofier elements work better
As far as I'm aware, he's one of DC's go-tos for all powerful villain that usually requires team ups to stop. They're probably saving him for later (even if they completely screwed up the DCEU's structure already)
my personal favorite version of Brainiac is from Superman the Animated Series, where Brainiac was the super program created by Jor-el to watch over Krypton, and evolved into a villain via the shortsighted nature of his prime directive; to preserve knowledge. I love this version for several reasons, primarily because of how personally dangerous and meaningful he is to Superman. I also love the concept of the rogue program doing only what it was programmed to do, as opposed to a willing entity. He also is essentially devoid of weakness and pity in this way, and he is one of the few villains that the DCAU heroes have to destroy absolutely. Also, his nature as a program works so well in the second last season of JLU, where he merged with Luther. On top of that, Superman TAS was about the first tv show I ever watched, certainly one of the earliest I remember, and I recall having nightmares about Brainiac and Darkseid as a kid, so there is a lot of sentimental attachment on my part.
Armal Ali There were rumors that brainiac was gonna be the villain in justice league part 1. But now there's other rumors that the Atlantiens are gonna be the villains. Its a general consensus that darkseid will be the villain for part 2. But it doesn't matter to me. I'm just excited for justice league.
Even though he made a brief appearance,i liked the take on him in justice league gods and monsters.Of course i loved the entire thing for what it was,i reimagining of the entire universe.
Not crazy. They had to rewrite this guy repeatedly to make him interesting, as his original comics story just had him plan to regrow the cities as an empire for him to rule. Not unique. Any coherent story for him is better.
If the rumours are true, I know people (myself included) were concerned that using Doomsday in Batman V Superman is too early for that character. But thinking about it, its probably best that the JL take him out first. That then leaves Brainiac and Darkseid for the remaining JL films.
I like the superman animated series Brainiac, the JLU version, this Brainiac comes from Krypton too and was its main supercomputer. It lied to the people about the failing condition of the planet and left when krypton exploded
That version of Brainiac sought to learn all information, he did this by gathering all the information on a planet then destroying it to make sure nothing new to learn is created. Kyrpton was his first step.
bfg2600 All versions of Brainiac is like that. It's just that the animated series, he said that there wouldn't be enough time for him to fix it, and that most likely it's impossible to be fix even if there was enough time. So he lied so he can escape, otherwise if he told the truth, the Kryptonians would trap him there with him so he can fix it but could die from the planet explosion if he wasn't able to. That's why he lie.
Brainiac is another evil counterpart of Superman: Basically the alien who wants to conquer the Earth against the alien who sees the Earth as his home and protects it.

Brainiac is my favorite Superman villain :) I loved Corey Burton's performance as Brainiac in Superman TAS and Justice League and he has that cold and evil voice .
Lois thought Clark fled the ship like a coward, and went back to Earth in nothing but a space suit? So basically Clark would escape the frying pan by jumping into the fire? Does the Earth in this universe not have an atmosphere to burn up in? Or is she just stupid?!
Dude,it's not only Lois that's dense,it's EVERYONE in the DC universe.I mean everyone knows how superman looks,but the moment he puts on his glasses he's Clark Kent and nobody can recognize him.
Brainiac is my favorite Superman villain :). My favorite Brainiac is from the DC Animated Universe like Superman TAS and Justice League when Corey Burton voiced him . He was born to voice Brainiac with his cold and evil voice. In my opinion, Corey Burton is the only voice actor who can voice Brainiac. I really hope Brainiac will appear in a Man of Steel sequel because he hasn't appeared in movies yet :( . Superman Unbound animated film was quite good :) .
He's my favorite super villain, especially when Corey Burton is voicing him. It's kind of like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Terminator. They just go together.
Gokul Kr With your point of that Marvel characters are smart, but if you look at almost all of the villains in dc especially Bat-Mans villains you will see that they are really smart in the evil twisted way they attempt to kill Bat-Man so in that case I favor DC because I admire the criminal masterminds that can cause you a lot of thinking and can truly shock you with their genius. Point Proven.
Watchmojo, I watch your show every day, its apart of my daily ritual, could you do the top 10 comic book super villains? I think it would be cool to have DC Vs Marvel :)
Brainiac is one of the best dc villians and this is my opinion if you don't like it you can stfu. He one of the villians i think that can take down the entire justice league or have a plan to get rid of them.
As much as I love these Origins videos I just wish you guys would do more than just Marvel and DC characters, I know they are the most popular but there are so many others; one for example that I think would be cool is Jackie Estacado from The Darkness.
I respect your superheroes knowledge comment, sir. Glad to be comic geeks, bro. And also, Ultron was a fact that he was a human in the earlier Avengers, but Brainiac is a full alien.
He is the greatest DC comics bad guys of all time . Top 5 all time in any comic next to thanos ,apacolypse,carnage ,dark Seid . Joker as honorable mention
one of the greatest and the best dc villains ever who definitely deserves to be in a movie after all these years. personally i would like to see him as the villain in JLA 2. after seeing some art for brainiac i think benedict cumberbatch looks awesome as brainiac and i think he would be a complete fit to play him
Hey you guys should start doing battles between characters and expand it outside of just the comic books like batman vs Shepard(mass effect). I think thats a great idea!!!
Seeing this makes me feel that while the DCAU's portrayal of Brainiac is completely different from that of his original (and probably other) incarnations it was also way better.
For Brainiac to be so smart, he sure dose a dum things like constantly fighting superman in personal combat, when he dose not even come close to beating him.
i love how old characters that seem totally ridiculous can be remade into bad-asses decades later
+John Vogel (Skitter Comic) You should read then the DC L.E.G.I.O.N. origins.
proof of why Remaking is a good thing, you take utter train wrecks of ideas and make them interesting by completely reinventing them or re-contextualizing so their goofier elements work better
When Braniac combined with Luthor in the Justice League show and the huge fight that ensued, AMAZING.
It also has one of the best Flash moments EVER.
I wish that Brainiac was the villian in the Man of Steel followup movie.
Resty Mervin Ponio still might be
As far as I'm aware, he's one of DC's go-tos for all powerful villain that usually requires team ups to stop. They're probably saving him for later (even if they completely screwed up the DCEU's structure already)
they can't introduce Brainiac that soon
Man of Steel 2 is in the making with Brainiac with it's main foe.
@Lawrence Rodriguez Darkseid is already coming to the Snyder Cut... today they just released a teaser of him🤩🤩🤩🤩

Yeah i loved that show
yea its definitely the best and cleanest version of Brainiac.....
Harry Wompa TAS, Superman Unbound's version and version from Legion of Super Heroes.
***** Why is the brainiac in smallville human not green and alieny
Harry Wompa Now that you mentioned that, Jor-el did have a AI program in Man of Steel
Need to learn all this shit for Injustice 2 lmao
Lol same I once I saw the offical story trailer I knew it was brainiac but didn't know much about him so keeping tabs
aint gon b no machine
mmm6325 lol me too
mmm6325 that is exactly why i came here too 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 LMFAO LOL i just pre ordered the ultimate edition
mmm6325 same lol
*Brainiac* is one of *Superman's* greatest villains.
Cant wait to seen him in justice league next year.
+BrandonA RealNigga you mean Darkseid
Armal Ali There were rumors that brainiac was gonna be the villain in justice league part 1. But now there's other rumors that the Atlantiens are gonna be the villains. Its a general consensus that darkseid will be the villain for part 2. But it doesn't matter to me. I'm just excited for justice league.
BrandonA RealNigga No part one and two are all about Darkseid
Armal Ali darkaeid is a mojor villian they wouldn't have him first.
And he's even the main villain in DC Universe Online, where heroes and villains "join forces" to foil his plans..
He's like the villains of villains.
That's what makes him amazing.
he's dc's Galactus
@@AzulioSwoopOnly he collects worlds instead of eating them.
Lmao. That darksied voice is one of/if not the deepest voice I've ever heard in my life
Courtesy of the great Frank Welker, who also played Megatron in Transformers and Dr. Claw in Inspector Gadget.
***** It'd be easier if you wanted to list the names of characters in US animation that frank hadn't voiced.
***** sound pretty evil to me
Mr. Mask I knew it sounded familiar! It’s almost exactly his Dr. Claw voice!
You should hear Young Justice’s version of Darkseid talk. It’s even deeper.
I just realised that Brainiac's Marvel version is Ultron
Ultron is actually more like the Marvel version of Brother Eye.
JokeShinet didn't brainiac sound like ultron in the last couple of seconds of this video?
Who do you think would win in a fight if Brainiac and Ultron were pitted against each other?
Marvel kind of has a history of stealing DC characters. X-men was another one based off a DC title called "Doom Patrol".
@@legoking6165 ultron would win especially annihilation conquest ultron he should win with ease
I was really hoping that the true reason why Brainiac was evil is because nobody would give him a decent pair of pants.
Solomon Grundy want pants too!
Best commercial ever
I got the Cartoon reference.
Fuck off weeaboo.
Bolverk-GTM 😂good one.
My favorite DC villain after The Joker
This is where Marvel got the idea for Ultron.
Brainiac and Ultron are pretty different
Brainiac is smarter than Ultron
Indubitably 🤔
@@ldiod4374 he means in the way they both are cunning archvillains who are AI
Brainiac was portrayed a lot differently in Smallville.
To be fair a lot of things were portrayed differently in Smallville.
yeah he was like a lil girl wtf
The Braniac in Superman the animated series was the best
cowardly float back to earth in a space suite yea like thats how gravity works Lois just keep on thinking that
He also is/was the main villain in the MMORPG DC Universe Online
So...was Lex Luthor trying to be like Professor X?
Lexcorp cerebro :D
@@vww3606 And cerebro is Spanish for brain
how can you hate a group called the Super Friends?
Because its called super friends
You stoops you is ... Because humans ar ignorance stupid pieces of shit .....?!!!!
I love Brainiac 5. He's cool!
Me 2
same
Even though he made a brief appearance,i liked the take on him in justice league gods and monsters.Of course i loved the entire thing for what it was,i reimagining of the entire universe.
Brainiac is my favorite of Superman's enemies.
call me crazy but I prefer the DCAU version.
kind of agree with you on this one.
Not crazy. They had to rewrite this guy repeatedly to make him interesting, as his original comics story just had him plan to regrow the cities as an empire for him to rule. Not unique. Any coherent story for him is better.
His cameo in Static Shock was the bees knees
They're both fine they should try to combine them
Because you're a moron.
I love these videos keep making them :)
brainiac was first appeared in the comic books. ultron is just the copycat of brainiac
No he is not.
there are so many heroes not everyone is copied from each other altho they have similarities.
Okay explain how Ultron is a copy?
6XXXThanatosRaysXXX6 Yes ultron is a copy of Brainiac you moron
Jeahav Valentin You got proof?
If the rumours are true, I know people (myself included) were concerned that using Doomsday in Batman V Superman is too early for that character. But thinking about it, its probably best that the JL take him out first. That then leaves Brainiac and Darkseid for the remaining JL films.
that would be dope
No it was a terrible idea
Steppenwolf is already in.
We also need Savage and Ares teaming up against Wonder Woman

Those videos are great! More Supervillian Origins!
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOOOOOIU FOR MAKING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought Brainiac was an AI created by the planet of Krypton.
Someone has been watching too much Smallville.
Steven Clark Actually, it was Justice League.
ithought it was brainiac that destroyed krypton =O
That's only in the dc animated universe. In the comics braniac comes from planet Colu.
That's DCAU Braniac. I like the DCAU version, but the comics version can be made threatening.
I wanna see all of the same robots that make up brainiacs army in dc universe online (overseer, subjugator, etc.) in a live action movie with brainiac
i waited for this for a long time now
My favorit supervillan ever. He is so cool as the Main villan in dc universe online as well.
¡El solo quería unos pantalones! ¡¡¡Unos buenos pantalones!!!
Solomon tambien quiere pantalones!
We musn't forget, though, that his 5th descendant in the future is a good guy, as revealed in a JLU episode where they went way far into the future.
Woaw this is the first super... Origins episode where you've shown a picture of a comic that i actually have! :D
Yes finally :o I've been waiting for the Origins of Brainiac haha Thank you :)
Brainiac is another evil counterpart of Superman: Basically the alien who wants to conquer the Earth against the alien who sees the Earth as his home and protects it.
injustice 2 brought me here so he always had that mad bio technical power
man, this shit really cracks me up.... good comedy!
Do one of Vandal Savage PLEASE!!!!!
Brainiac vs. Ultron
All will be one with Braniac.
Red Wraith braniac would demolish ultron
Ultron would win
@@theanti-monitor8450 yeah right xddd.
No Technology can withstand Brainiac.

Brainiac makes a live appearance in the Justice League movie
he should of been in BVS and saved Dooms Day for a superman solo film.
he is in the makings during the time of BVS
Sigmatron Same here I wish I could have used a brainiac to the only time I seen him was in the TV shows and in the comics too
No its Darkseids uncle Steppenwolf.

That fucking pun,.. I'm out,..
Actually, "brainiac" is technically a real term used to describe people who are obsessed with knowledge and learning.
As I remember, the origin of that was from the comic,..
I like this origin! I think it's kind of cool!
He's my favorite super villain, especially when Corey Burton is voicing him. It's kind of like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Terminator. They just go together.
Braniac vs. Superman, proving once and for all brains fails against brawn. Thanks DC for inspiring us.
thats the reason i switched to Marvel, since most of Marvel heroes are Brainy.
Correction, evil brains fail against brawn :D
Technically, Superman is a combination of brains, brawn and will.
***** Superman is everything all the time. Too much power, he should have become the Plutonian.

I've always liked the Legion of Super Heroes version of Brainiac. aka Brainiac 5 aka Brainy.
Me too. :)
Tia Desmond :D !!! I thought he was very funny.
Yeah he was funny and his character design in legion of superheroes was good too and also his voice actor did a great job too. :D
Tia Desmond I completely agree. I always looked forward to his scenes.
Yeah those were best part for me.
Brainiac is like a Marvel's version version of Ultron.
Two completely different characters that shouldn't be compared. Brainiac is brainiac and ultron is ultron.
LOL Ultron is Marvels version of DC's Braniac.
Braniac came in 1968 and Ultron a decade later
I respect your superheroes knowledge comment, sir. Glad to be comic geeks, bro. And also, Ultron was a fact that he was a human in the earlier Avengers, but Brainiac is a full alien.
Sharan Nair Brainiac came in 1958, not 68. Funny how both came in July though.
***** Thank you.
And now that makes it two decades.
I'm not only a fan of Brainiac, he's one of my favorite DC villians
Ultron to Brainiac:"How could you be worthy?You're just a puppet,tangled in strings...strings there are no strings on me".
do supervillain origins: firefly
Wait, How could Superman ''overheard'' him in space? I thought sounds can't travel in space or something?
because its comics
Because it's frickin' SUPERMAN, that's why!
JokerXDHaHaHa Congrats, Joker, you win the internet
some have speculated that superman also has psionic powers..but different dimensions
Haha good call
He is the greatest DC comics bad guys of all time . Top 5 all time in any comic next to thanos ,apacolypse,carnage ,dark Seid . Joker as honorable mention
Injustice did their homework. This was a great villian
This Braniac story I find kinda dumb.
one of the greatest and the best dc villains ever who definitely deserves to be in a movie after all these years. personally i would like to see him as the villain in JLA 2. after seeing some art for brainiac i think benedict cumberbatch looks awesome as brainiac and i think he would be a complete fit to play him
He's in Krypton now
Need to put this Villain on the BIG screens!
Brainiac even made an appearance as a playable fighting character in the Injustice 2 video game.
My favorite DC villain ! Hope he will be in a future Superman film !
I always loved Brainiac 5 from legion of superheroes.
My Favorite All time Supervillian
look i just want some pants,
A DECENT PAIR OF PANTS!
Superman: It's time to log off! Me: That's what happens to me on the tablet every 17 minutes.
Brainiac is def in my top 5 favourite villains of all time!
more DC supervillains/heros please =3
Perhaps the best choice for an antagonist when DC finally does a Justice League movie ^^
The tone of our voice is different today... you're usually very enthusiastic!
Hey you guys should start doing battles between characters and expand it outside of just the comic books like batman vs Shepard(mass effect). I think thats a great idea!!!
Seeing this makes me feel that while the DCAU's portrayal of Brainiac is completely different from that of his original (and probably other) incarnations it was also way better.
For Brainiac to be so smart, he sure dose a dum things like constantly fighting superman in personal combat, when he dose not even come close to beating him.
Can you also do the Teen Titans?
2nd favorite villain of all time
He's looks super cool in injustice2!
I love Brainiac's look in Injustice 2.
Love Brainiac.....he needs to be a supervillain in the Superman movies.
His 80's look seems similar to Ultron. I can even imagine his MCU voice coming out of him.
"Look, I just want some pants. A DECENT PAIR OF PANTS!"
A collector and a conquer.
Lois thought he was a coward and floated into the void of space.
One of the most intelligent villian there is and always will be.
I loved Brainiac in Smallville, so sly, always having a back up plan. Plus James Masters is an awesome actor.
Brainac is a total bad ass character on Injustice 2, his design, voice, intelligence, power, and his plot for universal dominance!
In superman unbound brainiac lost but right at the end he's down to still live, i wonder if they'll make a part two like the comics with lex
GREAT SCOTT!
I'M SO HAPPY THEY'RE DOING DC ORIGINS!!!
"...to float back to earth"
Apparently Lois isn't familiar with gravity.
