so, with the Omniverse, the shit supey pulled in the silver age is canon again, so here's a pitch for a story about that.
Brainiac is back (with koko the space monkey). And it's calculated that the kryptonian would be thrown off his game if confronted with symbols of his shortcoming or failure. However, the real threats would be unruly. It needs ones who would be easily controlled.
So Brainiac flies around the universe, picking up those the man of steel has failed, pissed off, or just ones Brainiac calculates would be useful.
we got Bee boy (a boy who was transformed into a half-bee creature to 'repair a lung'. After superboy mogged on him, he promised to bring him a cure. He didnt), Khalex (a super powered alien whom Superman pissed off during a worlds finest comic), a superman robot that went haywire, crashed on a planet, built a mermaid robot wife(because the man of tomorrow's down-baddery for lori lemaris was ingrained in his robots, apparently) and a robot son. (I imagine Brainiac captures their family. Maybe he's still got that shrink ray lying around), and the duplicate man (a criminal who could duplicate himself, whom kal-el pissed off during a worlds finest comic).
Also, it wouldn't be a real silver age story without a lois lane marriage and Jimmy Olsen transformation, so at some point, Jimmy and Lois get hit with some kind of hallucination ray, and Jimmy hallucinates being the human octopus (which might have been a hallucination according to the original story), and Lois hallucinates marrying Titanman (which was a hallucination in the original story)
