What do you think of New 52 Brainiac?

[Barry Allen123]

Okay I know I'm really late on this but, in retrospect, what do you think of his new origin and look. I think this was pretty huge news since he is kinda of a classic villain. I personally like his humanoid apperance but I guess the caterpillar-like one is okay.

[B. Kuwanger]

major points off of an otherwise great story.

[Nocturnus]

I have no problem with the caterpillar look but I don't think it's my favorite either. The part where The Collector talks about all the planets and the names he was given and on Earth how he was The Internet - that was really cool.

Liked him a lot better than the Milton Fine incarnation. Look forward to his return.

[Sacred Knight]

A fantastic re-imagining. There's nothing special about his appearance, but what makes the incarnation great has nothing to do with the appearance. Its just the way the character was crafted, using our modern day way of life in regards to the internet to tie the Collector in with his arrival and his ability to infect Earth and other planets. His motivations for bottling cities are also not so cut-and-dry evil anymore, considering we know now that he was preserving civilizations that were already targeted for destruction by Vyndktvx. All that stuff made it great. His look when it all comes down to it is incidental. The character's very nature makes it cake for any writer to change his body at their whim.

I think we all assumed that at some point, the Collector and the Brainiac AI would merge into one character. Now that Action Comics has jumped ahead in time, I wonder if that merge has taken place and there is now a villain named Brainiac out there.

lol yeah, seriously. Caterpillar is not my favorite, but I'm not going to pretend things couldn't be worse.

There's no need for Braniac/Collector to be locked to the caterpillar look, as well. Braniac was steering Metal-0, too. It's a system, not a form.

There's that.
I like him because he is the most inhuman of them all. Not necessarily in the sense in was the biggest monster, but because he didn't look and didn't speak like a human, which gave him something......;a bit unerving about him. And his "I have many names" speech was kinda cool. And I also kinda liked he saw himself as a good guy.
Curious to see what others will do with him later on. It seems a bit unlikely he will come back as the Collectgor proper, with the ship and all, but that's the greatness of AIs in comics. As long as they can dowload into something, they will come back.

I liked it, it was creepy looking. Bit like Franks design on some ways but still very original. More like Mr.Mind? A super worm!

[DragonPiece]

It played the job well, but honestly nothing memorable. I'd like to see Snyder or Lobdell use Braniac in another story and not just have him play a small part to a big story.

[Lexrules]

Not for me. Give me Brainiac not the collector.

[Buried Alien]

Hmmm...centipede.

I preferred the more humanoid renditions.

[El Sombrero]

Love it. Love the Caterpillar look and the integration of the Collector. One of my favorite things about Morrison's run.

[Desaad]

It was great. A complex re-imagining that became infinitely more resonant with 'today', visually more exciting, and more tightly tied to the main hero, Superman.

Awesome.
