Description
My personal favorite version of Brainiac from the Super Powers cartoon in the 80s. Not only is he a giant robotic skeleton...he has a flying head ship with tentacles. I'm pretty sure most heroes wet themselves in the 80s seeing that.I've always wondered why there is barely any images of this version of him on the net. The green headed guy I know is the classic look. But it never scared me in it's concept. The JLU one was ok...loved the voice....but it still lacked a little menace to me. Mostly cuz I saw this version in the old Super Powers cartoon around the 80s-90s
So to compesate for there being not terminator style Brainiac out there...here's mine!

Β Β I used to have the toy of this version of brainiac. I think it kicked when you squeezed it's arm but it ended up getting broken.

This Brainiac is most definitely pure evil. >)

I agree with you about the 80s skeleton with the head ship being the best version. Β I should take a crack at drawing that one day. Β Nice work.

Maybe they stopped using this look to avoid confusion with Marvel's Ultron.

Quite possible.... Β maybe they felt he was too much like him and back peddled to a more classic version

There are some strong similiarities

At least he kept the skull-head ship throughout the ages.

Badass work on Brainiac! My fave is the Superman & JL animated versions myself, but I admit this is one scary looking incarnation as well, no doubt the inspiration for all the later skull ships. I kinda prefer Brainiac as an AI over an alien humanoid myself, I just dig the idea of him being a loveless AI who deliberately withheld the news of Krypton's impending destruction so he could save himself & hoard all their knowledge for himself, gives Supe's more reason to hate this guy.Β

Nice! Version of Ul. WAIT< I'm not doing that to this one! Awesome version of Braniac! Too bad the 90's cartoon didn't make him as terrifying. (Although to be honest he was meant to appear as a friend at first)

And on the plus side, unlike Harlan Ellison, James Cameron won't sue.

Very creepy. I agree, much more intimidating than the green dude in the speedos.

Now you see why my Brainiac design is so minimalist...
π: 0 β©: 1
Why? Cuz it's creepier?

Because it's less confusing.

Confusing.... just prefer a simpler design then I guess
