Idol Speculation:
I feel like the Headmaster could have done better against the Weapons Master, although that's definitely disputable. The Headmaster is a reasonably powerful guy whose standing in the Vile Menagerie bares improvement, but then again, Weapons Master did hold off a respectable JLI line-up. Hopefully I can get Headmaster a decent match eventually to notch a win. This won't be it. The Headmaster got beaten handily by the Martian Manhunter in his only story appearance, while Brainiac is one of the few Superman villains people like and respect. Crossovers have been built around the threat of Brainiac. Headmaster didn't even rate a story arc, nor multiple appearances, making him a lesser creation of the Ostrander/Mandrake run. He's simply outclassed in every way here.
