Was there an explanation in the comics?

For such an advance race with clear space exploration capabilities,

Why didnt kryptonians choose to be super powered by going to a place with a yellow Sun?

Further, why arent there other explorers or interplanetary ships, they clearly had them?

It seems odd to me that the most "advanced" race didn't have more explorers but only had Kara and Kal.

Does anyone have a canon explanation?

@soaringturkeys: First Kara and Kal are not explorers but survivors. Their planet exploded and everybody died. They were only able to send into space 2 babies. There are the last 2 of their race.

Then when they were alive, why expend if not needed. And being a super is more a burden than anything else.

I know that in some versions of the story space travel was forbidden because of some stuff that happened in Krypton's past. I think it ended up with a portion of one of Krypton's moons being destroyed.

This is just a similar scenario to modern U.S where the Americans chose Donald Trump as their leader so as to remain insular.

@all-father: @jb681131:

... Yeah of course they are survivors.You two are assuming the question was written by someone who has never read one ounce of comic. The question was why Krypton didn't have any more explorers but they only had Kal and Kara.

Kryptonians were a highly advanced race. So much soo that they had inhabited other planets. So there were explorers and they had the technology being the rumoured 'most advanced race'.

So again, why, when the option of being the most powerful being in the universe, was there not any more explorers but they only had Kara and Kal.

and i'm wondering if there's a comic explanation to this.

@zearing: yeah I heard that too. Not sure if this is the canon explanation though?

But it still doesn't explain why cause they have already inhabited other planets. Like there are a few characters who share Kryptonian physiology but are from a different planet. There's Kara too who's from a neighbouring planet etc etc.

it just doesn't make sense

1. Why no one opted to becoming superhuman?

2. Why one explosion kills the entire population?

They're all dead. Clark and Kara are lucky to be alive.

@kingsurtur: yeah...

That's the question. Why did they all die.

They were an advanced race with planetary exploration in their belt.

Why weren't there explorers?

Why not go to places where they could essentially be Gods

Kryptonians were isolationists.

@monstrous93: @echostarlord117:

Exactly my question though.

If there was a plot point or a story that covers it I would like to know.

Why for a highly advanced civilization with inter plantery capabilities weren't there more explorers.

And why noone opted to be super powered.

This is the most iconic character of all time. I'm sure there's an answer for this.

Yes because they were way too far in travel distance to a yellow sun livable system.

And why invade other systems when you own is enought ?

@jb681131:

So both points I feel are just your opinions on why so the question still remains if there is a canonical explanation to both. Unless of course this is the official Canon answer which is what I'm looking for and nobody seems to have.

the latter doesn't make sense cause we know canonically they have inhabited planets and have explored other parts of the universe. The dc wiki even references them having vast knowledge of other galaxies.

Yet of the entire highly advanced race of canonical explorers, there isn't more than just "two".

@soaringturkeys: The only other species that I know of that shares their physiology are the Daxamites, and I think they got there around the same time as the moon incident.

Also, Kara's not from another planet. After she was safe, her father made an unsuccessful attempt to save the entire city that they were from by blasting it into space. That's what you might be thinking of.

I think Jor-El might have been the first to figure out the whole Yellow Sun thing. It certainly wasn't widely known.

I think that one explosion is underselling it a bit. Also, the planet's core was turned to Kryptonite as a side effect of the process, which certainly didn't help the species survive.

I think any colonies and explorers without the support of the home planet died out

They were isolationists that hated being around other races. Also, they probably weren’t entirely aware of the yellows sun’s affects on them.
