Coluans

The Coluans are an alien species that feature in DC Comics.

History

Modern Age

During the Rann/Thanagar war, the Coluans sided with the Rannians though one of their vessels was destroyed by a Durlan bioship which led to a loss to their alliance. (Rann-Thanagar War v1 #2)

31st century

In one future, the Colu was noted to had been a closed world that did not receive many visitors. It also continued to suffer from the reputation of Brainiac and his vault was one of the forbidden locations on the planet. Unknown to anyone, Brainiac 5 attempted to access the vault which activated the numerous weapons within it. This forced Querl Dox to call upon the Legion of Super-Heroes help where Ultra Boy threw the vault into space where it was hoped heavy starship weapons from the United Planets would destroy the facility without harming Colu. (Legion of Super-Heroes v7 #0)

Possible Future

According to Brainiac 8, the Coluans eventually abandoned their organic forms and became an entirely mechanical species that hated biological based beings. In this time, Colu rose to ascendance in the cosmos in the times after the Crisis but they were thwarted by the actions of Donna Troy. This resulted in Brainiac 8 travelling backwards in time with the aid of Brainiac in order to eliminate Troia in order to ensure Colu's rise to power.

Overview

In the 31st century, it was stated that the Coluans were a long lived species but one that reproduced rarely and that every child was priceless in their society. (Legion of Super-Heroes v7 #0)

Members

• Dorvl : a male Coluan elder who regretted the damage caused by Brainiac's vault when it was incidently opened. (Legion of Super-Heroes v7 #0)
• Arvid Wix : a male elder Coluan who was skeptical on Brainiac 5's allies from the Legion of Super-Heroes and weary of Querl Dox due to his legacy as being a descendant of Colu's ancient overlords. (Legion of Super-Heroes v7 #0)

In media

• The Coluans make an appearance in the animated Legion of Super-Heroes where they were represented by Brainiac 5. In this continuity, they were shown to be a mechanical species with a hive mind that linked all members during an event known as the "alignment". They were shown to be remarkably advanced with digitizing technology though remained reserved and recluse on their homeworld. The Coluans attempted to reprogram Brainiac 5 when he was corrupted by the mind of Brainiac but were instead brainwashed by him after which he used them to digitize enter worlds before Brainiac 5 was freed from his ancestors control.
