History

From Brainiac 4's birth, she suffered from a complete lack of emotion - eventually even abandoning her infant son, Brainiac 5, at birth to in an attempt to find something emotionally stimulating.

Living a variety of lives, from beggarwoman to hero to gambler, she eventually became the leader of a terrorist group known as the Dark Circle, and found something that caused her to feel emotion - sending an entire fleet to its' death.

Eventually, her son found her - only to have Brainiac 4 attempt to kill him in the expectation that, if killing strangers caused her to feel good killing her son would make her feel better.

After being stopped by Gates, she was committed to an asylum.

Powers and abilites

Like all Brainiacs, Brainiac 4 possesses a "twelfth-level" intellect, placing her well beyond double the intellect of humans.

Notes

• It seems likely that Brainiac 4 was the descendent of Vril Dox II affected by his deal with Neron in R.E.B.E.L.S. '95 #13
