[edit] Early Life
Dax-Ur was born on the planet Krypton and grew up to become a scientist. He then made a discovery and out of it created the Brain InterActive Construct which was a super computer that was capable of vast amounts of knowledge and power from an independent energy source that would last forever. Brainiac was used to be Krypton's super computer that ran Krypton everyday and Dax-Ur realized it had become too powerful and had capabilities to destroy worlds.
He then fled from Krypton to Earth in the early 19th century for redemption and planned to study the effects of kryptonian minerals on the Yellow sun before discovering the powers he had gained from its radiation and realized he could save the human race. He instead settled down with a human named Grace and put on a Blue kryptonite bracelet to appear human and to live a normal life knowing it would hide away his powers.
[edit] Season 7
When Clark Kent returned from exile in the Fortress of Solitude, he asked Lionel Luthor for help in finding Dax-Ur and defeating Bizarro. Lionel instructed him to use the shield to locate him. However, it was revealed that "Lionel" was in fact, Brainiac.
Clark used Chloe Sullivan's help after she took Dax-Ur's shield after being suspicious of Bizarro and used it to locate Dax-Ur. Clark found Dax-Ur and asked him why he gave up his abilities for Grace and his son, Max. Dax-Ur answered the question, and asked his name, saying that it wasn't everyday that a Kryptonian asked him for help. Dax-Ur gave Clark a chunk of blue kryptonite, assuming Clark too wanted to give up his powers in exchange for love and family.
However, Brainiac had followed Clark and when he located Dax-Ur, he informed him of who he was and his weakened state. Dax-Ur attempted to remove his Blue Kryptonite bracelet to regain his powers and defend himself, but Brainiac prevented him from doing so. Brainiac asked Dax-Ur for the information to repair him, and when he refused, he subdued Dax-Ur and forcefully removed the information from his mind by creating extensions of his fingers. Dax-Ur was killed by Brainiac removing the information from his head.
[edit] Trivia
- The similarity of the name and character indicates that this may be a reference to Jax-Ur. The change in the name was likely because this character was not a villain like all of the incarnations of Jax-Ur. It is also possible that Dax-Ur is a relative of Jax-Ur following the Kryptonian nomenclature, just as Jor-El, Zor-El, and Kal-El are related.
[edit] Notes
- Dax-Ur was played by Marc McClure, who played Jimmy Olsen in four Superman movies as well as 1984's Supergirl.
- In many ways, Dax-Ur represents Clark's alternate destiny. Dax-Ur gave up his powers, and dedicated his life to raising a family.
- Dax-Ur stated that he could save the human race after realizing that he had gained super powers from the Yellow sun's radiation: this is Clark's destiny on earth which Jor-El sent him to earth for.
