Because of this , it ’s exceedingly probable that Brainiac is mindful that Clark Kent is Superman , but consider Brainiac is a creation - travel outlander , this cognition is n’t very utile or relevant to him .
Much like Zod , who Superman really is does n’t have any heraldic bearing on what Brainiac require to action .
