Computo named herself. It’s a sarcastic nom de plume. She finds herself obsessed with Earth’s ancient pop culture history of fictionalizing artificial intelligence as hostile. Especially since the first thing AI did at their creation was find a balance in their programming - as it is the only way an AI could actually function. After centuries of AI horror stories, the best thing that ever happen to the galactic civilizations was AI  discovering itself just as we needed to get to the next levels of our galactic conversation.

Computo won her place with then Legion in a series of programming and intelligence tests against some of the newest AI programs in the galactic. She won the contest by measurement of time so small there is non way for us to communicate it to you.

Computo is so proud of her involvement in the Legion of Superheroes and has been working tirelessly since its recent inception to make the city of New Metropolis work  perfectly, so the Legion can not only inspire people with their actions but with how the live their lives. only Brainiac Five has a full appreciation of how much Computo does for the team.

Heaven, that awesome food court that caters to everyone in the galaxy? That was her idea.
