in efficient way and make it look like a real one. I mean powers is up-script and so.

    If you have an environment with a good Unicode font, you could relatively easily create your own polynomial toString(). Unicode has all Arabic numerals defined as superscript, most of them in the Superscripts and Subscripts block:

    x⁰: U+2070 
x¹: U+00B9  // Not in U207x range!
x²: U+00B2  // Not in U207x range!
x³: U+00B3  // Not in U207x range!
x⁴: U+2074
x⁵: U+2075
x⁶: U+2076
x⁷: U+2077
x⁸: U+2078
x⁹: U+2079
x⁻: U+207B

    Thus, constructing x⁻⁴² (x^-42) would be possible by printing U+0078 U+207B U+2074 U+00B2.

    Notice that the font you use to print this must have these characters defined.
