Sometimes Superboy's
(Sorry, had to pay a royalty to the Siegels)
curl is an "S", sometimes a backwards "S" and sometimes a "C" and sometimes non-existent and ...ohh, you get the idea.

With a twelfth level intelligence, why couldn't he come up with a better name than "Brainiac 5?"

In the first issue of CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS, Dawnstar didn't just tell the Monitor:

"In the recent past of my time, my team had access to a device called the Miracle Machine that could do, basically, anything. We had to destroy it because one of our members went mad and used it to create an otherwise unstoppable foe. If you can send me forward to a time in between the time I joined and the time Brainy went mad, I can talk my teammates into lending it to you and you can destroy the Anti-Monitor with it!"

Of course, we know the real reason: because the nassheads upstairs at DC had decided the multiverse was too complicated, and DC had to have one universe just like Marvel. Then, of course, roughly 20 years later, Marvel produced its "Ultimate line" and proved multiple continuities CAN work.

First two questions...

Just because superboy has hair doesn't mean it's ALWAYS perfect. Nobody's perfect.

Brainiac must be paying tribute to his lineage, both to make up for the sins of the father and to make a name for himself as a different person altogether.

Besides. Why fix what isn't broken. Could we imagine Brainiac as anybody else now?

Pre-Crisis Superboy's four vulnerabilities:

1. Kryptonite
2. Red Sun radiation
3. Magic
4. Bad Hair Days.

Heh.

Question:
In the Legion, I recall Superboy having to rely on Mon-El and Ultra Boy to protect him from Gold Kryptonite, which would permanently take away his powers.

I understand it could be rarer, but why doesn't Luthor just find a hunk of this and get Superman with it? If he can get green kryptonit close enough, why not gold?

Gold kryptonite *is* much rarer than green, and I'm not sure Luthor ever got ahold of any.

There's a Superfriends episode where Darkseid manages to obtain a chunk and tries to use it to take away Superman's powers, but they trick him with the old "Batman disguises himself as Superman" routine.

Did you ever wonder why Wonder Woman didn't have a different outfit for the winter?

What I wanted to know was if her invisible plane had an invisible restroom.

And why did she never try to market the tech in that boustier of hers? I mean she (regrettably ) never ONCE fell outta that thing--even amidst all those scraps she's been in!!!
