After being defeated by the Legion, she is committed to an asylum.

Brainiac 4 appears in Legion of Super-Heroes (2023), voiced by Robbie Daymond.[3] This version is a clone of Brainiac and member of the Dark Circle who was created to steal the Miracle Machine. After his failure to do so, Brainiac fuses him into himself, but Brainiac 5 later manipulates Brainiac 4 and his fellow clones into fighting and killing one another from the inside.
