History:
Querl Dox is descended from Vril Dox, a boy adopted by the original Brainiac to aid his human disguise in the 20th Century. Vril Dox led a revolt against the computer tyrants of his homeworld of Colu, the builders of Brainiac. He defeated them by inventing a stimulator that raised him to twelfth-level effector intelligence (on a scale where Earthmen are sixth-level and the tyrants were tenth). This intelligence was passed on to Querl.

Querl came to Earth to do research at the Time Institute in the latter half of the 30th Century, and played a major role in perfecting the Time Bubble. It was this invention that brought him into contact with the Legion of Super-Heroes, which he the joined, taking the name Brainiac Five.

Among his significant inventions are the force shield belt he normally wears, the flight ring, and the serum which saves Mon-El from lead poisoning. He also created and unleashed Computo, the deadliest computer of his century.

The strain of his intelligence has caused Querl to demonstrate occasional mental problems including a bout with insanity, but his present condition is very stable. Between Legion missions he works off nervous energy in his multi-laboratory.

Powers:
Brainiac Five wears a force shield to protect him from almost any type of harm, and capable of projecting similar shields short distances. As a Legionnaire, he had completed personal combat training (inattentively) and wears the LSH flight ring, which permits him to fly at will. However, his one true power is his extraordinary computer mind.
