M'crazy.
IIRC she lived on one of Krypton's moons, or one of the planets in it's system? I believe it was the DCAU continuity.

She's 16 or 18 and pretty much all alone in the universe outside of her cousin.
She's going to want friends and peers, not people who will look at her as the funny alien teacher.

I kind of want Paul to give her something to fix the malnutrition (or use his ring) and then she becomes as curvy as powergirl. Then Paul having to awkwardly explain that it wasn't expected and was just a side effect. Likely the wrong site for that.

Wait until Zoat has finished the story on the other site, and then he might get around to it.

Just zis guy, you know?
Agreed.
Them, or someone that they're chasing, given that Saturn Girl and Saturn Queen are two telepaths who might use 'by the rings' as an expletive.

Does a million dollars count as enough to live on? If she can make a proof for any of the remaining problems, she's mostly set for life. Even if the money itself isn't enough, it would come with tons of offers for being a professor.

This made a delightful whooshing noise when it sailed over my head, someone explain?
I'm willing to bet that even if she could barely write, any university in the world would be happy to grant her tenure as a professor of "Kryptonian studies". Think about it:
1) Language - a completely non-Earth based language would be a holy grail for linguists.
2) Publicity - a kryptonian teaching would attract students like no tomorrow
2) History, sociology, etc - she's one of the last living kryptonians, and the last living one who actually grew up in kryptonian society. Learning about it would be super great for everyone involved.
Throw in advanced math on top? Kara could easily have a career in academia.

Ah, you noticed his attempts at losing weight!
Dammit Paul, you need to learn to read the damn mood.
The girl is like 16 or 18 years old and quite literally just lost her entire world and you want want her to go be a teacher?
She was asking for help figuring out what to do with herself. Paul was throwing out options and seeing what stuck. Vaermina, please, please learn how to read.
Hah, that would be an interesting direction for Kara.
judging by the content in the link, Jes-Mo was, like Scotty or Geordi from Star Trek, good at coming up with out-of-the-box ideas and last minute save-the-day plans/solutions.
in the link, to defeat a massively powerful, solar powered skyship, Jes-Mo decided not to attack the ship directly, but to shroud the ship (and the city using it) in dense smoke that cut off all sunlight, staving the ship of power.

Grayven is a pretty good sign that they're compatible, assuming that his post-Father Box body is still mostly human + Venom Buster.
So is this the first significant example of your updated decision on capitalizing species names?

Well, technically, in the main universe, Batman did have a dalek shell in his weapons vault...

Kobra venom was always said to be three times more powerful than regular venom.
Venom is "good for beating up people without superpowers" level superstrength. In the comics, so is Blockbuster, since he's a batman villain who died from getting shot, but they obvious ramped his power level up for YJ since they made him a puzzle boss for the Team.
Actually, Krypton might have had a superhero if it hadn't exploded- Futuro! A kryptonian who gained powers from ray bombardment in Earth 132, later immigrated to Earth to be with Lois Lane, but bombarded Kal-El so he could protect Krypton as Superman. No idea if he became twice as powerful on Earth, or if the ray bombardment just meant he had kryptonian powers no matter what the local sun's color is.

Thank you, corrected.
Ideas guy.
That was Kara In-Ze. Supergirl 12.
Kryptonian can also just mean 'person from Krypton'.
Thank you, corrected.

Great, that Kara teaching on Tamaran talk put the idea of what if Jor-El had sent Kal-El there, rather than Earth.
"I'm S'uperman, and I fight for Love, Friendship, and he continuation of the Tamaranian Royal Line!" *Punches Gordanian fleet to death*
(Does anyone have a good dumb Tamaranian name for Superman?)

I actually suspect the bigger problem is that having a better understanding of mathematics sufficient to solve the various space-age problems and tech krypton dealt with DOESN'T actually suggest that they have any better way to prove or disprove the various problems still out there.
It seems entirely plausible that new areas of mathematics were generated to solve FTL travel that in no way assist with proving or disproving the collatz conjecture.
Or worse, the underlying kryptonian maths are sufficiently alien to our systems that the problems we are struggling with hadn't actually been ASKED yet in krypton maths because they aren't relevant under those systems. And thus solving them is no easier for Kara than it is for us.

AKA, Kara as written in the cartoon made during the brief fifteen-or-so year window where they were actually adhering to the "Kal-El is the only survivor of Krypton" rule and so had to come up with convoluted loopholes to explain Kara and Zod.

At the plus side, he already can do the transformation sequence with his super speed.

Well if you follow the tradition of the "What if Superman landed on a different planet" stories that DC did, then he'd be based on Starfire. So he'd probably be called Sunflame, or Starblaze, or something like that.
For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, pre-crisis DC did a story which revealed that Jor-El did computer simulations of what his son's life would be on the various planets he might send them to. In a land of giants, he's the Atom, in a world of eternal night, he's flying nocturnal mammal man, waterworld he's Aquaman, etc.
Given a sequel post crisis in which Kal-El is sent to Oa to be the tallest guardian of the universe ever, where he's Big Brother on Thannagar, and a jackass known as Skyforce on Rann.

Well, EVERYONE would be interested in proving whether P=NP. If you in any way care about solving difficult problems, you'd want to know whether you can solve them in polynomial time or if you can't. Unless Krypton got to their stage of development without using computers or without ever diving into how to make computers efficient, they would have encountered this problem, and they likely would have spent centuries trying to prove it one way or the other. And spending centuries on it is a decent way to find if there is a solution, an approach that IRL Earth hasn't had the opportunity to try yet.
Solving Navier-Stokes would also be the type of thing that a civilization would try to work out if it had any interest in fluid systems.
The rest of those problems... Maybe. Maybe Krytpon never got to those problems, never cared about them, or Kara never learned them. But I would find it shocking if an advanced civilization had never even encountered P=NP or Navier Stokes.
