Description

This page features a fantastic image of the New Brainiac design by the artist who created the re-design himself, Ed Hannigan. This is my all-time favorite incarnation of Brainiac. It was my 4th Kenner Super Powers figure (with action kick)! I also am thrilled that the page has a wonderful panel featuring Brainiac's ship. Sadly, that ship was never a Kenner Super Powers toy. (That did not stop me from drawing a skull face on a piece of discarded styrofoam and attaching some Mattel Secret Wars Doc Ock tentacles [which had long since fallen off Otto himself] to it.) The second story in which Marv Wolfman could explore his ideas and concepts for the New Brainiac was this New Teen Titans Annual. (The previous introduction story line ran through Action Comics #544-546) Outside of Super Powers and Crisis, there aren't too many vintage examples of the New Brainiac. In this page, not only has Brainiac captured the Man of Steel, but is using his very power to obliterate the capital city of a peaceful alien culture. P.S. - There are some missing narration stats from Brainiac on the page. Also, the page is oversized and wasn't easy to scan (although I'm fairly proud of the results).

I've heard the same thing said by many fans, but let's face it, it's by far thew coolest looking design, so it's no surprise, really. The page gives you great images of him AND the ship, plus Superman, so you got a great one. Well done! Posted on 3/4/2023
