Injustice 2: 8 Leaks & Confirmed Details You Need To Know

8. Brainiac Is The New Villain

We've heard bits and pieces of a Secret Society of villains rising from the ashes of Superman's regime, but it's starting to look more like Brainiac is going to be the true evil threat.

As one of Superman's greatest rivals, who else could make a better villain than somebody who can best Superman?

Brainiac is a super-intelligent megalomaniac alien, obsessed with knowledge. With technology far beyond human capabilities, the "Collector of Worlds" has the scientific prowess to shrink entire cities to collect and research them, typically eradicating what else remains of the planet.

In Injustice 2, he's captured Krypton's cities and obliterated it, but having heard of the Last Son of Krypton and his rule over Earth, he travels to finish the eradication of Krypton. Only now that he's arrived, he finds that Earth's history of factions and warring superheroes are just as appealing to start researching.

While there isn't any footage of the Coluan alien in gameplay yet, we've seen a screenshot of his new design. He certainly looks intimidating decked out in his new armor, which plays into the game's new Gear system (we'll get into that later). Coupled with the Secret Society rogues gallery, Brainiac will truly be a veritable threat to the world.
