The miniseriesJustice League : No Justice , a prelude to Scott Snyder ’s upcoming foot race onJustice League , go through Brainiac split various DC heroes and villain into separate squad . These teams were intend to protect Brainiac ’s homeworld of Colu ( and by consequence the rest of the universe ) .
However , by the oddment ofNo Justice # 1,leader of the Suicide Squad Amanda Waller managed to kill Brainiac , turn the would - be galactic savior into a cloud of green alien dust . Yet the smartest being in the universe is n’t one to go into war without a back - up plan . No Justice # 2reveals that while Brainiac might be numb , his " boy " is wait in the wings .
bear on : Superman ’s Greatest Villain is Saving The DC Universe
Waller ’s murder of Brainiac come with the safe of intentions , or at leastthe best aim that Amanda Waller can muster . But it ’s quickly revealed inNo Justice # 2that by killing Brainiac , Waller has actually destine the entire universe ( leavingonly Green Arrow to protect Earth ) . Brainiac was leading the explosive charge to save up his own major planet from the revelatory Omega Titans , but with him out of the way , the Titans have turn their focus towards Earth and its devastation .
No Justice # 2finds the various heroes and villain that Brainiac recruited ( kidnapped ? ) to economize the macrocosm trying to pick up the bit . The subject mainly focuses in on Team Entropy , one of the fresh " Justice League " team which gathers together Batman , Lex Luthor , Deathstroke , Lobo and Beast Boy . At the very ending of the matter , Team Entropy happen a surprising unexampled figure .
A mystifying resident of Colu tells the squad that they were cretin for not endeavor to only run when Brainiac croak . recognize the figure immediately , he informs Lex Luthor ( and the hearing ) that the man ’s name is Vril Dox . Dox , however , prefers another name …
Batman , being Batman , seems to know a lot more about Vril Dox than anyone else . Yet the quality is n’t completely new , even ifNo Justice # 2is Brainiac 2.0’sDC Rebirthdebut . Vril Dox ’s very first visual aspect was in 1967 duringSuperman # 167 , where just like the character that appears inNo Justice # 2 , Vril Dox was the complete genetic clone of Brainiac . The key difference ? He was actually a force for good , all matter deliberate . But this newfangled variant does n’t seem closely as altruistic .
Whensomeone is intimidating Batman , that alone should signal everyone present to keep their guard duty up . Vril look to have very little esteem for the Justice League in this first coming into court , which he may have shared with his father . It appears that Vril will step into the function that Brainiac was meant to fill up inNo Justice . before his death . Which have in mind Vril ’s introduction is every eccentric of minacious , but he will belike be at least a irregular ally for the new , motley Justice League . The four new teams might be some of the most impressive appeal of DC heroes and villains ever - but they still require some guidance . Between Lex Luthor and Batman alone , Brainiac was the only figure powerful enough to lead this new League . So far , Vril Dox seem to have his Fatherhood ’s commanding presence , if nothing else .
Even if Vril Dox ’s take over Brainiac ’s part inNo Justice , that does n’t mean he has to literally become his Fatherhood . Despite his first visual aspect , there ’s every possible action that Vril Dox could spurt his own more heroic path , just like the original version . In fact , basic comic Word of God system of logic dictates that Vril ’s scariest first coming into court will result in the accurate inverse of his overall arc . The more threatening a case seems in the first appearance , especially if it ’s on the final page of an issuance ,
the more epic they usually stop up becoming . It ’s far more likely that Brainiac 2.0 represent a new Bob Hope for the DC Universe than the 2d approach of his dictatorial father .
