Brainiac

Brainiac's History

The team of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, together with Kamandi, are inside a future collected by Brainiac, who accessed to a technology able to bottle Hypertime, all thanks to Perpetua. In this future, there's a piece of the Totality the League must retrieve to defeat the evil goddess and Lex, but the problem is that here all the world is already in control of Brainiac, including the Justice League, now called Justice Legion. While the two teams prepare to fight, Wonder Woman starts thinking about one thing: how could heroes so advanced and powerful be defenseless against Brainiac's mind control?

Then, she clearly sees the weak point exploited by Brainiac: an android inside the Justice Legion's formation. Brainiac hacked him and used him to control the others as well. Diana uses her Lasso of Truth, wrapping it around the android and making him realize he is controlled. In fact, the android is Hourman and his task is to protect Hypertime, which now is in shambles. As Hourman wakes up from Brainiac's control, the Legion does as well, and they all feel the connection with the original League members standing alongside them.

The Legion's version of Starman then tells them he hid his Cosmic Rod, containing the piece of Totality they want, inside Hourman, merging it with the android's matrix. As the Legion gives the Rod to the League, Brainiac comes with a tremendous counter-attack: he absorbed tech from dozens of different alternate futures, and he transformed into the all-powerful Brainiac One Million. Diana gives the Rod to Kamandi, telling him to get away knowing he's holding the only hope humankind has to survive, and then prepares the League and the Legion, united, for battle.

Even if Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman were able to free the Justice Legion from the control of Brainiac, the evil alien absorbed several pieces of tech from dozens of different futures, becoming a gigantic creature going by the name Brainiac One Million. The three heroes, even together with the Justice Legion, are unable to defeat him. Kamandi, tasked by Diana to bring the Totality away, thinks he learned a great lesson: he thought the great disaster taught him you must fight for yourself, and by yourself alone. But he was wrong: to defend what you love, you must fight together. The more, the better. That's why he took the ship and travelled to another future, recruiting the Justice League Unlimited for the fight against Brainiac.

Brainiac One Million looks unbeatable, but Kamandi found a way to recruit all the Leagues he found in all the futures Brainiac bottled. A team of epic proportion is able to hold the gigantic version of Brainiac off for enough time to allow the Justice Legion's Starman to connect with Will in the Present.
