>hyper intelligent alien guy >gives himself the fucking

>>92474353
It's a boss name.

>>92474353
He didn't name himself. His creators on Krypton did. He never changed it because he doesn't give a fuck.

>>92474353
Fun fact. Brainiac become associated with a genius BECAUSE of Brainiac the character. Before that it was just a goofy name, but it gained mainstream use because of the comic book character.

>>92474353
Brainiac the comic book character predates brainiac the slang word.

>>92474353
>Literally has tasers on his face
>Doesn't name himself Taserface

There's more to Brainiac than the DCAU

Go back to playing your shit fighting game with mortal kombat characters and bring this shit back to /v/ you cross boarding cancer.

Counterpoint: It's unique and illustrative of his character, which are the ideal qualities of a supervillain name.Plus you really can't shit on a character name when it makes such an impact on American language as to propagate an entirely new term.
>Superman? What, because he's a "super" hero? So boring.

He shared the naming conventions of the old room huge computers like UNIVAC and ENIAC. The name as used in common tongue is named after him, and not the other way around.

>>92474467
No more than I'll ever care about.

>>92474444
>>92474433
>>92474483
That doesn't make it not a stupid name.

>>92474489
>comic book autists getting this ass blasted

Oh shut the fuck up, without all of the alternative media comics spawned they would be dead in the water.

>>92474353
A quick google search tells me he's actually the ORIGIN of the name. His name is a blend of Brain and Maniac and it was adopted by people to refer to smart people around the 50's.

>>92474512
This. He's literally calling himself a computer.

>>92474551
Nigger shut up and enjoy the content and bitch about it on /v/. No one on here gives a shit that you finally slowpoked your ass with comics up to this point to just fucking bitch.

There's enough shit people bitch about on here already, we don't need cross boarding /v/ cancer bitching about video games because they are based on comics and had their own comic line. It would be one thing if you faggots actually took the time to pick up some other books and learn shit, but your knowledge of DCU goes as far as what the creators of injustice spoon feed you in their garbage edgy bullshit.

>>92474537
It does make it less stupid though. It's about as stupid as any other superhero/villain name.

>>92474353
his real name is Vril Dox, he probably adopted the name Brainiac after other races started using it about him, since it inspired fear, also because his cloned son took the name Vril Dox for himself.

He's a DC character, what do you expect.

>>92475310
Duck Dodgers said he looks just like the devil.

IIRC, a character brings it up in one of his intro dialogues, and he just responds: "Brainiac inspires humor?" I mean, he's an alien. Probably doesn't sound funny to him.

>>92475389
>character is named "Ultron"

Marvel wins again!

Reminder that this character has not had a movie appearance in seven Superman movies (and never will).

Let me guess... the entire premise of the book is Invincible being better at everything than the Avengers?

>>92474551
>confirms that he doesn't like comics
>isn't instantly permanently banned from /co/ forever
hmm

>>92475770
If boards worked off this logic then /v/ would be a barren wasteland.

>>92475770
I don’t think he should be banned for that. In any case, it’s not like the janitors give a damn, much less the mods.

People like you, OP, are why we'll never have a cape movie that's truly faithful. It's a fucking fictional, made-up fantasy.

If the real Brainiac showed up at your front door and wrapped you up in tentacles and explained to you that he was going to grind you into a fine red paste as a DNA sample, suddenly you're not gonna find it so funny that his name is Brainiac and he's a seven foot tall green man.

>>92474572
Yep, same with "Bizarro".

>>92474467
He's technically right as of Morrison's Action Comics: Brainiac influences his own invention on various planets, ie we created him as the Internet.

Which would beg the question of why we don't just call him "Internet".

That's honestly kinda dumb though and now dubiously canon.

>>92475804
and be better for it

>>92476080
shoo shoo /v/

>>92476080
The whole point of these movies is to introduce these characters comics readers love to a wider audience. What's the point if you're gonna change everything to make some mongoloids happy?

You'd feel the same way if something you love got basterdized for idiots. If you're a /v/irgin you probably at least know of that DmC game.

ESPECIALLY with DC you're dealing with extremely iconic characters that tons of people know through cultural osmosis, it's not like the Marvel characters that no one really knew about prior to Avengers. Everyone knows who Superman is and what he's like, and many people at least know who Brainiac and Bizarro are.

Turning away from this stuff to be more "realistic" is what makes the DC movies not resonate with people like the original Superman movie did.

>>92475553

Is that supposed to be the Void from Berserk?

Say what you will but that stupid name became synonymous with smart people.

>>92476344
It's a dumb Lex Luthor/lexicon pun. It was better in my head.

>>92476375
Don't be fucking stupid. He's got eyes in that picture.

>>92476406
I thought it was funny, anon

>>92476405
That's the problem. OP is dumb.

He thinks that Brainiac named himself Brainiac to appear intelligent, since this is what Brainiac means. He doesn't know that "Brainiac" means "intelligent" because of the character.

It's your average /v/ poster.

>>92475427
He most likely will be in the next solo Superman movie. They said they've been wanting to do him. He was going to be the villain in the cancelled Superman Returns sequel.

>>92476538
Please be directed by Zack Snyder!

When is Brainiac going to team up with Bane to make Baniac?

Vril didn't choose the name for himself, the original named him. Presumably because Vril (II) wasn't actually supposed to be his own person.

It actually makes it less stupid. The character became influential enough to have their name become a generic term. Last time that happened was... lolita.

Because John's Brainiac was actually pretty good.

>>92477985
The presence of the Legion in this game fucking blindsided me. I dunno if this is yet more of editorial's master plan for them, but waiting around for more seeds to drop is killing me.

Also, is there gonna be a Brainy skin at some point, one or all of the Founders for DLC? Cause why else are they in this if not as additional content?

Even Harley calls him out on this if they fight I think

>>92479935

I don't think Invincible really has any right to make fun of other superhero names when his coworkers have names like "Dupli-Kate", "Rex Splode", "Monster Girl", and fucking "ROBOT" for God's sake.
