You gain the abilities of a Kryptonian and you’re on the only one with them. What do you do?

Would probably explore the whole planet incognito. As the people would try to destroy me if they found out I was this powerful.
I prefer to think of it as culling the weak. Meanwhile saveing people money on heating bills.
Why stop at world wars. Think of all the wars going on and all the suffering now you could alleviate.
I would act as a God and inforce justice. Iliminating corruption, removing cruel dictators and act as a parent to the pathetic, selfish child like humans.
Basically try to make the world a better place for as many people as possible.

Hm... if stored energy can last like that, then it could go either way depending on whether the low or high estimates for the end of star formation are closer to reality. The low estimate is that new stars will stop forming in one trillion years. The high estimate is 100 trillion years. Yellow stars like our sun can last for about 15 billion, while red dwarf stars are thought to be able to last for 10 trillion years. In the low case, star-based civilizations could outlive you, but in the majority of cases... Unless civilizations arose that could survive by harvesting radiation from black holes, then yeah, a Kryptonian-powered individual could well be the last.
Of course, that assumes that yellow stars don't stop being formed well before the end of overall star formation. Even now red dwarf stars are far more common than yellow stars, and as hydrogen is depleted the rate of formation of yellow stars should fall off faster than that of red dwarf stars (which require less material).
But when you can cover 25 million light years in five minutes and have tens of thousands of years of solar energy stored up, hunting for another star to boost your reserves shouldn't take too long.
Let the power go to my head immediately and rule the world as an ever-present, but seldom seen dictator...
Don't give me power.
Don't give me power.
Overthrow a lot of dictatorships (Syria, Venezuela, and North Korea)
End the war in Yemen and Syria
Fly Trump and the GOP into the Sun
End the Rohingya genocide
Help migrants from the MENA
Support indigenous peoples around the world
Help leftist movements around the world
Reduce American influence across the world (Relocating bases around the world)
Help Latin America and the rest of the Third World gain autonomy from the West
JK I'd be blasted out of the sky on day 1 lol. I've read Superman: Red Son and played Injustice 2 and I know this ends badly.

But eventually there just won't be any more yellow stars, period. The free hydrogen necessary to create stars will run out and the last yellow star will die. Then it won't matter how fast and far you can travel because your desired destination won't exist. I'm talking about the deep future here - far further in the future than twice the current age of the universe.
At that point, then you'd turn gold and outlive the need for stars in the first place.
And then you'd be able to revive your dead wife as a silver woman and live until the universe dies.
This is what I'm thinking too. Get rid of the fetid right-wing shitbags and install leftist governments everywhere. Redistribute wealth and food globally so people aren't dying of starvation. Remove all tyrants and dictators like Kim, Putin and Duterte. I would probably kill leaders of groups like Defend Europa and the KKK as well, and tell other members to disband and abandon those ideals lest they suffer the same fate.
I would keep a secret identity though, as you don't want to be doing this stuff 24/7. I guess this would become my job and I'd claim an elderly relative had died so we got a nice windfall, or something like that.
Why? If you had the chance to remove all evil or corrupt governments, wouldn't you? You could make life better for billions of people.
Probably get really bored, take over the world, then get really bored again. It probably wouldn't be good for humanity either way.
Not by killing and imposing myself as ruler. As some kind of Superman I could have other ways to end corrupt governments like for example exposing all their shit to the public, so everyone could know the true. But I would never destroy democracy.
I'd give world leaders and owners of mega corporations 4 weeks to get their shit together. That means, ending all wars, conflicts and territorial disputes, as well as enacting immediate financial, infrastructure, health, education, and civil rights reform. This includes universal health care, base income, education, housing and virtually everything that will absolutely guarantee that every human being on Earth has easy access to a healthy and dignified standard of living.
Failure to do so will result in me making all of that happen by force. However, if successful, I'd then encourage and help with the establishment of a true, united, world government. It would further look into improving and expanding all the aforementioned initiatives, as well as addressing how to seriously thwart climate change and making serious efforts towards advancing space travel. I'd assist in creating research facilities on the moon and Mars at first. Later, once technology advances, I'd help humanity explore beyond the asteroid belt, including Jupiter and Saturn's moons and Pluto.
Once that happens, and if it's actually possible, I'd help with creating fully functional space colonies, massive space stations and cities all across the solar system. This includes terraforming terrestrial planets and moons, asteroid mining and the creation of a Dyson Sphere like device to harness the sun's power.

I'd probably try to be incognito. It'd be cool having powers, but I'd have to be really careful about them. One thing Man of Steel got right was the reason Zod had to suddenly gaining all these powers. If me as an adult got these powers with no experience prior, I would probably try to fly to some remote corner of the world and exile myself for a year till I got a better handle of things.
After that, who know? I'd probably help out where I can, but things are so much more complex than in a comic book. One man's freedom fighter another mans terrorist.

I'd try to keep my identity a secret.
Then find a way to make enough money to be set for life.
And finally I'd just help out during natural disasters and fly around the earth and in space during my free time. I would try not to interfere with the course of civilization.

That would make me slowly known to the world and I don't want that to happen. Gotta let it happens sometimes or a Darkseid equivalent will come for my ass. =/
On second thought, regarding the non-intervention thing. Maybe I'd make an exception and go find the pee pee tape.
