BRAINIAC 5 (Querl Dox) of the planet COLU, is a descendant of VRIL DOX, the adopted son of the original BRAINIAC, SUPERMAN'S foe. VRIL found a way to raise his brain to the 12th level, making it the equal of BRAINIAC'S computer mind; and a genetic change enabled him to pass this super-mind on to his descendants, including BRAINIAC 5. BRAINIAC 5 has a "computer mind" and can perform intricate calculations in seconds. His force-shield can protect him from danger.
