Colu planetary data[]
Native abilities: High intelligence.
History: Colu is one of the rim worlds, located about 20,000 light years from Earth, out on the approach to the Magellanic Clouds. It is the fourth planet from its sun and its surface is almost exactly 50% land-50% sea. The planet has six moons. Colu is the leading technological world in the United Planets. The Coluans are not only the most advanced humanoid intellects known but also the longest living mortals in the galaxy, with average life-spans of 600 years. Two millennia ago, the planet was taken over by a world-wide computer network which, because of their malevolent nature, became known as the Computer Tyrants of Colu. By the late 20th century, the planet's people were like helpless children, brainwashed for obedience at birth. One exception was the evil scientist Vril Dox, who served the Tyrants willingly. Vril Dox had a son of the same name who was accelerated to adulthood, however he did not share the views of his traitorous father. Eventually, the Tyrants grew nervous and ridded themselves of the elder Vril Dox. The mind of the elder Dox survived and took over a Terran's body, becoming the villainous Brainiac. The younger Dox was handed over to an Alien Alliance. After escaping from the Alliance, Vril Dox II formed L.E.G.I.O.N., an interstellar police force, and freed Colu from the Tyrants' rule. The Tyrants transferred their collective minds into a humanoid form and adopted the name Mr. Starr. The Tyrants would resurface a thousand years later as Pulsar Stargrave. In the late 30th century, Querl Dox, a direct descendant of both Vril Doxes, joined the Legion of Super-Heroes under the name Brainiac 5. Like others in his family line, Querl has a 12th level intelligence.
