Superscipted entries are positioned at a higher height level and the font size
is decreased. Correspondingly, subscripted entries are positioned at a lower
height with font size decreased.
But the Superscipted "^" and Subscripted "_" signs remain showing in the text
Thus "x^a" and "y_b", will show "a" positioned higher relative to "x", whilst
"b" is positioned lower relative to "y". But the "^" and "_" will still show
up.

If so, it would be pleasant to have the functionalities in tex-mode
and-latex built-in that are similar to Auctex in a separate file.
That would include tex--prettify-symbols-alist and the tex-suscript
part. And let the user decide what features to activate - whether
the basic prettify engine or the Auctex one.
