Grid was originally a program hidden deep within the programming of Cyborg’s memory subsystems. However, When the Coluan scientist-turned-madman known as Brainiac seized control of Brother Eye, he used the computer to create Grid using this program as a base. Cyborg, with Catwoman’s help, manages to defeat Grid in battle. After Brother Eye is taken back, Grid had apparently broken free from Brainiac’s control. It is clear that Grid is on a journey of self-discovery, to find out what it is like to feel emotions and sensations. His goal is to evolve Earth past humanity.
