A question of Suns

OK, so I was just watching the most recent episode of Supergirl on the CW (1/22/18 — Fort Rozz). In this episode she needs to travel to the Kryptonian prison, Fort Rozz, which is currently orbiting a blue sun.

Now, while I totally understand the concept of different colored suns (as well as the comicbook legacy that Kryptonians gain powers under yellow suns) it has always bothered me as to how Supergirl (man) is able to maintain her/his powers when out in space.

I'm sure that this must have been addressed in the comics over the years, only I don't actually recall.

I mean, is it that all Kryptonians actually have power, only the rays of a red sun somehow negate them? Do they only have powers under a yellow sun? (Do they have additional or alternate powers and/or abilities under different colored suns?)

What?

Anyone want to weigh in on this?

I mean, it’s not like this is keeping me up at night, but I really do kinda want to know.

Thanks

Green Arrow online Comic

This just in, apparently the CW network is going to have a Green Arrow TV series this fall, and you can go online to download a free comic from Comixology.
If you missed the Arrow promotional comic book – taking place between Episodes 1 and 2 of Arrow – as it was given away at Comic-Con, you still can have a chance to read it.
Here is the link for where you can get a hold of it from DC (on comixology).

If you don’t already have an account there, you can easily set one up (for free, even). We just did, and while the comic revamps the origin of  Green Arrow, it looks pretty good, and we just might check out the TV show as well.
