** The concept of Superman having never fought the "real" Brainiac -- that all his past battles were with drones and proxies -- comes from ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' (which had [[Recap/JusticeLeagueS2E1And2Twilight revealed]] that the Braniac the DCAU Superman had fought all throughout his series was one of countless drones Brainiac had dispatched throughout the larger universe.

* CombatPragmatist: Superman proves outmatched against the true Brainiac in a straight contest of strength. The first time he tries to punch the Coluan, Brainiac pulls a NoSell, floors him with his own blow, and then starts throttling the Man of Steel, with Clark unable to escape his foe's grip and bleeding just from the pressure of it. In the second, Brainiac pulls a PunchCatch and crushes Superman's fist, even digging his fingers into Superman's hand and causing it to bleed more. Superman gets out both times by fighting dirty: sticking his fingers into [[AttackItsWeakpoint the cyborg's head plugs]], shooting heat vision directly into his eyes, ''biting'' him, nothing is off limits. His final move in the arc is to kick Brainiac in the back of the head while he's distracted by SensoryOverload and then ''stomp on his neck'' while he's on the floor for good measure, which finally puts him down for the count.
