Brainiac is Coluan, not Kryptonian...

And true, it's not like there are 50 Kryptonians running around,... it's more like 50 MILLION!! :) , the entire city of Kandor...

And it's not about what Superman knows or doesn't know, it's about the concept.

Look at Rosetta in Smallville. He says that there must be others and Swan replies that there was only one transmission.

He's alone...

Siegel and Shuster came up with the story of the LAST survivor of a doomed world, not one of many.

You're smarter than this, you can tell that the only reason why Supergirl and Zod existed at all is because of marketing, right, not because the story demanded their inclusion?
