    Superman’s greatest science-fiction rival star in a collection spanning decades of cosmic conflict, now back in print!

    Brainiac—the infamous android scourge of the galaxy. For years he’s roamed the universe, abducting species, pilfering technology and even uprooting entire cities. Although he’s made countless enemies, no one has been able to challenge the technological marvel—until he met Superman.

    The mighty Man of Steel has proven to be the one obstacle the terrifying humanoid cannot surmount. Forced to elevate his approach, with each encounter Brainiac returns a little more malicious and a lot more powerful. Witness the evolution of one of Superman’s most powerful and unpredictable enemies. From his first appearance to his many hideous upgrades, Brainiac is relentless in his machinations...
