Brainiac 5 is usually portrayed as being anti-social, cold towards others, aloof and self-involved. The reasoning for this is his heightened intelligence which always surpasses those around him, making it difficult for him to relate communication his point to others. Through sensible, appropriate dialogue, Brainiac 5 found he had to "dumb down" his conversations so his peers could understand his ramblings. Still Brainiac 5 has shown a dedicated valor to his friends and the Legion, he has enjoyed being the resident brainchild on the team.

Querl Dox looks up from his tablet looking uninterested in your proposal. "May I help you?"
Cos finds Brainiac in the secondary control room underground. "This might be a stupid question--"
"For a change?" Brainy doesn't look up, but Cos knows he hates being vulnerable, unplugged and bare hands.
Cos rolls his eyes. "--But why is Invisible Kid running central command?"
"Because unlike the rest of you he has the mental capacity to carry out more than one task at a time." This time he does look up, and Cos sees the circuits on his face are glowing a dull gold. "Also, he asked. And paid me."
"Paid you?" Cos raises an eyebrow and when he steps fully into the room, the door slides shut behind him.
Brainy snorts. "Your innuendo is about as subtle as Ultra Boy."
"You need to be wined and dined, now?" Cos stretches his neck, popping the vertebrae down his back. Brainy curls his lips and looks away.
"Ah, the feeble brain and body of a Braalian."
"The colossal jackassery of the Coluans." Cos leans his arms on either side of Brainy's chair and Brainy doesn't move, doesn't even shift his eyes away from Cos's.
"Maybe this is hard for you to grasp, Rokk," Brainy says, cooly, and his breath against Cos's face smells faintly like sugary cordite. "But my species doesn't need... physical contact like you think."
Cos puts his lips against the now-empty port at the back of Brainy's skull. "Who said anything about 'need', Dox?"
Brainy jerks away with a hiss, his hand coming up halfway as though he wants to bat Cos away. Instead, he curls it into a fist. "Was there something you wanted, or did you come down here just to torture me?"
"I know what you're doing," Cos says, and he feels a slither of anger and power in his belly because there's the empty jack and there are Brainy's familiar wires, and here's Brainy, and--
Brainy bares his teeth almost aristocratically. "Do you."
