Brandon Breyer, otherwise better known as Brightburn, is the titular protagonist villain of the 2019 supervillain horror film of the same name.

In a reversal of the typical Superman story, Brandon is an extraterrestrial who is sent to Earth with the sinister intentions of taking it over. He ends up crash landing in Brightburn, Kansas, where he is adopted by a couple unable to have children.

He was portrayed by Jackson A. Dunn.

His Evil Ranking[]

What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]

  • After being adopted by Kyle and Tori Breyer, he had odd behaviour such as killing twelve chickens on the farm, and start collecting pictures of gore.
  • While he seems to fall in love with a student named Caitlyn, it is nothing but a perversion as he stalks her, later in a trust fall at PE class, he even broke her arm after refusing to catch him.
    • When Caitlyn's mother told Brandon not to come near her daughter again, he murdered her while alone in a diner.
  • He threatened Merilee, his aunt and counselor that if she reports him to the authorities, he would kill her.
  • Murdered Merilee's husband Noah by dropping a car on him and breaking his jaw.
  • Suspicious of Brandon after his lack of concern upon learning his uncle died and finding his drawings, Kyle takes him on a hike before he tries to kill him with a shotgun. It fails and Brandon uses his heat vision to kill Kyle.
  • Murdered several police officers when Tori called the cops on him.
  • When Tori tried to kill him, he grabbed her, flew to the sky and dropped her to her death.
  • After murdering his family in cold blood, he went on a rampage around the world, such as destroying a plane with hundreds of people inside, later destroying multiple buildings in the city and killing thousands of people.

What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]

  • He has moral agency issues as the ship is established to be influencing Brandon’s personality and causing him to become more evil. This also implies he was driven by the nature of his aliens.
  • While this doesn't excuse his actions and he already showed negative traits before he turned completely evil, he is somewhat tragic as he was originally a good person who was bullied in school and none of his adoptive parents tried to discuss the problems he was having when his personality got worse, simply ignoring them and then he was possessed by the ship he came on, making him evil, which may not have affected him if his adoptive parents had destroyed the ship instead of taking it away and locking it in the garage. Even when he turned evil, he still tried to resist and asked his parents for help because he didn't want to be bad. So this explains his evil and also makes it no wonder why he turned evil.
  • He did genuinely love his parents. He initially tried to be good for their sake and did his best to keep his secret from them. He never once tried to harm them until they tried to kill him. Both instances he is left shocked and horrified after they try to do so.
