Summary
Superman faces off against this new villain, mourning the loss of the Czarnians slaughtered by the Brainiac Queen.
Amanda Waller’s involvement adds a new layer of danger, as she aims to use the Brainiac Queen as a secret weapon in Absolute Power.
Warning! Preview pages for ahead for Action Comics #1066!The newest alien threat has finally given the DC Universe its own version of the Marvel villain Galactus. For months, the Superman foe Brainiac has been out to make new life and has succeeded by creating the Brainiac Queen. Brainiac’s plans involving his bride could spell doom for the Earth and beyond as DC’s summer event draws closer.
In Action Comics #1066 by Joshua Williamson and Rafa Sandoval, Superman mourns the loss of the Czarnians who have just been slaughtered by the Brainiac Queen. Brainiac coldly mocks his foe and reveals what the mad Coluan has planned for his monstrous masterpiece.
Brainiac tells Superman that the Queen will slaughter the Man of Steel and his allies just as easily before turning her attention to Earth. She will then consume Brainiac’s bottled worlds before moving on to the rest of the DC Universe, consuming every planet in her path to achieve her ultimate form.
Brainiac’s Queen Gains Power By Consuming Entire Worlds
Recently, Lex Luthor revealed that there are gaps in Brainiac’s mind that are causing him to go mad. To rectify the gaps in his mind, Brainiac embarked on a mission to create new life. He traveled the DC Universe, studying metahuman power and making deals with alien races like the Czarnians to work on a powerful new strain of life. After stealing Metropolis’ metahumans and bringing them onboard his ship, Brainiac successfully brought his creation to life. The moment she awoke, the Brainiac Queen slaughtered Brainiac’s Czarnian army and showed the Superman Family what she was really capable of.
Brainiac Queen is a relatively new villain, but she’s made a hell of a first appearance. Plus Brainiac implies there’s no upper limit to her power. He claims that she will go from world to world, consuming all life she comes into contact with. Not unlike the Marvel Universe’s Galactus, a similar being who regularly threatens worlds by feeding off their energies. What’s truly unnerving about the Brainiac Queen is that she’s about to fall into Amanda Waller’s hands in DC’s upcoming summer event Absolute Power. With this new DC villain on Waller’s side, it’s hard to imagine she won’t win.
DC’s ‘Galactus’ is Amanda Waller’s Secret Weapon
Little has been revealed about Brainiac Queen in the weeks leading up to Absolute Power. However, Brainiac’s plans for the Queen show just how terrifying she really is. While Brainiac plans to turn his Queen loose on the entire cosmos, Waller is making the Queen a member of Amanda’s Trinity of Evil and aiming her like a gun directly at the heads of every metahuman on Earth. Given how easily the Brainiac Queen tore through the most fearsome band of Czarnians, this new Galactus is going to be a huge obstacle for the DC Universe’s heroes.
