It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a... flying Zombie? Super Brainz will try to find a way around your Plants so he can strike directly at your Hero. Not so super-duper!
His signature superpower is Carried Away, which moves a selected zombie to a selected lane, then gives it +1/+1 and makes that zombie do a bonus attack there.
Super Brainz uses Tricks to move Zombies into unprotected lanes, hitting the Plant Hero hard with Anti-Hero abilities.
With[]
Despite being the main starting zombie hero, Super Brainz is, in fact, one of the most technical zombie heroes there are. Super Brainz shines in his ability to use tricks and other things to strike the plant hero directly, like what Crazy Dave says.
Having access to quite a few ways, including Smoke Bomb, Lurch for Lunch and Backyard Bounce, not to mention his signature superpower Carried Away, it is usually advisable to try to attack the plant hero all the time unless there is no way around the defending plants or the plant in question is something that requires attention.
Super Brainz has access to both Anti-Hero zombies like Walrus Rider and Bullseye zombies like Wizard Gargantuar (and even Shieldcrusher Viking), so his strategy is moving these zombies into empty lanes as often as possible. Super Brainz is also known as the hero who rises up from the last moment, with the ability to move zombies away from the threat or giving them bonus attacks to clear the field of powerful plants to create unexpected openings.
Thanks to his Sneaky class, Super Brainz also has many strategies with gravestones, rivaling Impfinity and Neptuna in the number of gravestone zombies. Many Brainy zombies like Electrician and Gadget Scientist all benefit from ability re-activations. However, Mixed-Up Gravedigger and/or Firefighter will be needed to reuse their effects, as only some Brainy zombies with reusable effects have the Gravestone trait.
Super Brainz' weakness is that he does not have many options to stop rush decks, so Kabloom heroes can spam weaker plants and overwhelm Super Brainz from there. While Fire Rooster and Trapper Zombie can somewhat help, their abilities can only do so much against threats with high-health. The best Super Brainz could do for a situation like this is using a rush deck himself, preferably with a few Deadly zombies to neutralize stronger fighters.
Against[]
Be careful when facing Super Brainz as merely blocking the zombie is usually not enough. The best way to counter him is to destroy his zombies outright before the tricks phase with cards like Berry Blast, Cherry Bomb, Squash or Sour Grapes, to damage or destroy zombies.
While these are mostly from the Solar and Kabloom classes, Guardian heroes usually have the ability to fill the lawn with high health and Team-Up plants so there is no way to hit the hero directly, use Forget-Me-Nuts to make Zombie Tricks less playable, or use Grave Buster to destroy gravestones, while Smarty heroes can Freeze or Bounce zombies to prevent them from attacking. Smarty heroes can also use Dark Matter Dragonfruit to make Zombie Tricks much less playable. In addition, Smarty heroes and Mega-Grow heroes can use Sportacus and Black-Eyed Pea respectively to make Super Brainz think twice before playing a trick. This means as much as Super Brainz is powerful, he can be situational and is easily countered with the right deck.
Plant Heroes beware! This fast Strategy Deck puts Anti-Hero Zombies like Mini-Ninja, Space Pirate, and Walrus Rider into position to hit hard thanks to a little help from Smoke Bomb and Pogo Bouncer.

Ready, Set, Draw!
Super Brainz is fair and generous, giving both players extra cards with Regifting Zombie and Wormhole Gatekeepers. Of course, if you bounce all your opponent's Plants, they will have more cards than they can possibly play!

Trivia[]
He is the only class from Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes that doesn't have his superpower named after any of his abilities from Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2.
At the university which is the setting for missions like A Schooling at Zombie U, there are two statues of Super Brainz where the plant or zombie hero stands.
It can be seen from Super Brainz' "hurt over 4 damage" animation that his head is permanently detached from his body.
In the launch trailer for Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, he is seen using Heroic Beam, his primary weapon from Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, though he can't use this in-game.
Unlike in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, he doesn't smile in-game. However, he can be seen smiling in some comics and the animated trailer.
In Puzzle Party, he is the only hero that can't be used by the player.
