* ReedRichardsIsUseless: Utterly averted. Kara puts sharing Kryptonian tech at the forefront of her mission to improve humanity. Not all of it, not all at once, but starting with fixing the energy crisis, providing easy space lift tech and 100 percent recycling methods it later extends to site to site bulk transport and medical tech. One particular politician uses this as part of her election campaign to 'prove' the insidious influence of aliens on earth.
