How Different Colored Suns Affect Supergirl and Superman in DC Comics

This deep-dive article explores the cosmic lore of DC Comics, explaining exactly how different colored stars affect Kryptonians like Supergirl and Kal-El. While Earth's yellow sun acts as a battery that grants them their iconic, god-like powers, the universe is filled with other stars that have drastically different effects. The piece breaks down this history, noting that red suns (like Krypton's native star, Rao) completely strip their powers and render them vulnerable mortals (which allows Kara to get drunk in the opening of Woman of Tomorrow). Meanwhile, exposure to blue suns can actually overcharge their abilities or grant them entirely new, bizarre powers.
