BRAINIAC in the Silver & Bronze Ages
Host Anthony Desiato kicks off 2026 with a multi-episode look at the villain Brainiac across time & media! In Part 1, Anthony and guest Daniel Sanchez (@wearingthecape) chart Brainiac's evolution in the Pre-Crisis era — including his Silver Age debut as an evil space alien, mid-1960s reinvention as a robot in humanoid form, late Bronze Age robotic redesign, and animated depictions in the Filmation series and SUPER FRIENDS.
