Reaction to Brainiac 5's design in Supergirl was mixed upon its reveal.[1] Some criticized Brainiac 5 having blue skin instead of his comic canon green, although he was also blue in Justice League Unlimited. Other were not fond of his hair style,[2] with many jokingly pointing out the similarities it had with Doc Brown's hair from Back to the Future.[3] Jesse Rath, the actor playing Brainiac 5, tweeted that once his character started talking he would grow on them.[4]
