Solving the mystery was mere child's play... Now that I'm a super-computer! No one realizes what has happened-- That I was actually hooked up with Superman when they placed the encephalo-helmet on his alter ego, Clark Kent! I've been super-charged with energy from his super-brain! And like my human counterpart, I must lead two lives... Now that I have a secret identity!

Compuxo was a super-computer installed into the Galaxy Building by the scientist Dr. Mitchell under contract with Galaxy CEO Morgan Edge. Its original intended function was to automate and coordinate the Galaxy Building's infrastructure, and as a result, the protection of the building became its prime directive, even after acquiring sentience.
History
At Dr. Mitchell's request, Clark Kent volunteered to submit to a process whereby his brain engrams would be used to give Compuxo an artificial personality and therefore be more endearing to GBS employees. Unbeknownst to everyone, including Clark himself, the process gave Compuxo true sentience, in addition to copying Superman's heroic instincts and decision to live a secret double-life. Except instead of switching between reporter and superhero, Compuxo would present an image to the Galaxy staff as an emotionless, though sophisticated, computer, while undertaking covert measures to protect the building and its inhabitants from the sabotage attempts of a disgraced politician named Kyle Talbot. When Talbot knocked Superman unconscious with the synthetic Kryptonite exhaust of an experimental military jet and hooked him up to a powerful explosive that would use Superman's own metabolic energy to detonate itself, Compuxo revived Superman with an electrical impulse and mentally programmed the Man of Steel to smother the blast with his indestructible cape. Though the sheer force of the blast destroyed both Compuxo and Talbot regardless, the Galaxy Building was saved. Compuxo sacrificed its artificial life as an unknown hero.[1]
