The OTHER alien cities Brainiac shrunk

[llozymandias]

so brainiac did have a collection of alien cities.  explains why the power for the enlarging device was almost exhausted when it came time to restore kandor.  funny thing is superman could have restored both himself & kandor.  he had the enlarging device set up to restore kandor at the touch of a button.  he could have returned to kandor & used a remote controlled rocket to push that button.  

     lex as a super-genius did not have an ordinary organic mind.  it's possible that his mind could work at least as fast as brainiac's, & process at least as much information.

One thing I always wondered about, is why when Kara Zor-EL arrived on earth, Kal-El didn't tell her about Kandor, and that there were more of their people alive.

Some of the realities were created as time went on and then retconned to fit the continuity. I suppose, Kara was intially from Argo City that was an intact part of Krypton that flew off. Then her parents were transferred to Kandor as Argo City started to change into Kryptonite. Am I missing some continuity here?

[llozymandias]

originally zor-el & allura were thought to have died along with everyone else in argo city.  years later kara discovered that her parents were still alive.  zor-el had discovered a "phantom zone" like dimension, that he called the survival zone.  when kara learned that she (with help from fred danvers, i believe) she freed her parents from the survival zone.  zor-el & allura decided to move to kandor.

From somewhat epic beginnings thro' Crisis now to a lifeless form of protoplasmic husk? Supergirl sure has gone the distance

You know, it would be interesting to see who would win in a game of chess: Brainiac or Luthor. It sounds simple, but a game of strategy between the two would be quite interesting. Everyone would assume Luthor would win because of his human brain, but remember that Brainiac has managed to trick Luthor on occasion (i.e. when Brainiac hypnotized Luthor into upgrading him).

It might be fun to see this scenario presented in a story. Luthor and Brainiac would talk while playing, each explaining their different views on life, intelligence, and Superman.
