So i'be been scouring the internet reading comics and discussing with fellow nerds all over, and i have come to a blockage of sorts.

Kryptonians they have been portrayed as godlike creatures see superman prime, now i get there are likely many people floating around who have done considerably more research into this then me hence why im asking the question, with all of their considerable powers why are they almost extinct, surely it would be simple enough considering the level of technology on krypton they would have known about the effect of the yellow/blue stars on thier physiology, or at the very ,east be able to artificially replicate their effects, so why are they almost extinct.

Take superman himself effectively killed by doomsday, in reality only forced into a form of stasis due to tremendous amounts of damage, healing completely in a matter of days, to me this leaves me with 2 possible reasons as to why this happens

Firstly and least likely, doomsday only overloaded supermans nervious system, the reason i beleive it to be unlikely the amount of blood supes was leaking and the where the leaking was coming from, as they have previously shown that supes physiology is fairly similar to that of a human, many if not all of his internal organs were sevealy damaged

Second being superman/kryptonians cannot die near yellow/blue star, again unlikely, reason for this being superman prime, assuming real world physics of course superman being well a god, and well the only remaining kryptonian, red giant stars are dying and when they die they go supernova then crap collects together again starting the cycle again potentially making a yellow star which would in turn revive all of the fallen kryptonians. This did not happen

So why are they almodt extinct
