As one of the original arch-nemeses of Superman, DC fans know that Brainiac represents a enemy that even supervillains despise. His universe-destroying tendancies and ability to steal superpowers make him an absolute menace to heroes and villains alike.
And while the DC superheroes and supervillains have been fighting tooth and nail, Brainiac has been consolidating his power using "exogenes", a process which conveniently results in a rapid growth of superheroes and supervillains (i.e. DCUO players). But in true Sun Tzu fashion, Brainiac has successfully struck right when both sides had weakened themselves to the utmost.
In short, anyone who thought DCUO might be long on multiplayer brawler and short on DC storyline grit, check out the latest DC Universe Online trailer revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2010 and done by Blur Studio (the creators of many an awesome MMO and video game trailer, from SWTOR to WAR to Dragon Age: Origins).
