Fan Casting Conduit in Zack Snyder's Trinity

Childhood rival and bully of Clark Kent. Braverman resented his more friendly and well-liked classmate, who seemed destined to outdo him at every turn. His bouts of failing health and strained relationship with his father exacerbated things, until Braverman had a pathological hatred of Clark. In adulthood, Conduit has become a private military contractor and discovered he possesses metahuman powers. Powers tied to a mutation passed down by his mother, who witnessed a meteor shower over Smallville shortly before giving birth to her son. Possessing the power to channel radiation through the use of special implants, Braverman now dons the mantle of the mercenary Conduit. Of the three main villains, Braverman is the least interested in serving the "master plan", seeking only profit or petty revenge against Clark Kent/Superman. Braverman suspected Clark's double life the moment Superman was introduced to the world, having always sensed something different about him. Conduit's cybernetic implants in this continuity are a pilfering and upgrade on the same procedure which created the cyborg Metallo.
