Vril Dox of the planet Colu is a DC Comics character. He is the son of Brainiac, one of Superman's greater foes. He is an ancestor of Querl Dox, Brainiac 5 of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
Silver Age
Vril Dox was a young Coluan who was adopted by the Computer Tyrants to be Brainiac's son. He escaped and led a rebellion against the Computer Tyrants.
Post-Crisis
Vril Dox II was a clone created by his "father" Vril Dox I. As Brainiac's son, he has inherited his father's high intelligence and extreme Machiavellian ethics.
Vril Dox is the founder of the interplanetary police force L.E.G.I.O.N.. It was founded through outright murder when Vril and his allies destroyed a criminal drug ring.
Vril tried to manipulate everyone he came across, not generally accepting when they did not follow his plans. He managed to gain control of the bounty-hunter Lobo, mostly by out-smarting him.
Vril had a son who rebelled and took over his organization. Vril later regained control of L.E.G.I.O.N by bartering the soul of one of his unborn offspring.
