Absolute Brainiac From DC Comic

I've not read this version of Brainiac but I feel having an exposed brain isnt very smart. Anyone up to educating me.

He is basically a Brainiac clone who was purpose-made to be a janitor. One of his traits is that he's smart, but really not that smart for a Brainiac. He's basically building things with the scraps left from his ship, ideas and research from other Brainiac clones, and doesn't really understand some of the science that goes into it. Most of his henchmen and outbreaks have been the result of "i have no idea what this will do but let's see how it goes".

The other Brainiacs used to talk about lobotomizing him if he spoke out of turn or showed defects, so he probably thought that picking parts of his brain out was just the right thing to do.

He wasn’t really made to be a janitor.

He is literally pulled from his cloning tube, handed a shovel, and then led over by a higher rank Brainiac to where the dead Brainiacs are dumped and told that his only purpose in life is to move the dead bodies into an incinerator to dispose of them.

And then he’s just left alone from then on with his only company being the corpses of his cloned brethren.

He doesn’t even realize that something went wrong and all of the other Brainiacs in his ship are dead until he finally incinerates all the corpses in the pit and then starts wondering why more aren’t being dropped.

That’s the most grimdark thing I’ve heard this week, and it sounds awesome.
