** ApocalypseHow/{{Class 1}}: H'El has caused one on Krypton, turning it from what Kryptonians would consider perfect to a degree into a VillainWorld that [[EvenEvilHasStandards even Faora]] is appalled by.
** ApocalypseHow/ClassX: What the Superman Family has to make sure still happens: [[DeathByOriginStory the destruction of Krypton and escape of the select few inhabitants needed later]].
** ApocalyseHow/ClassZ: If H'El succeeds, the ensuing TimeCrash will cause one of these that stretches not just to the edges of Prime Earth or even TheMultiverse, but the ''Omni''verse, which includes, according to TheWikiRule, other enterprises such as the MarvelUniverse.



* TimeCrash: H'El's temporal alterations cause a time tsunami, a storm that can destroy an entire star system. If the Superman family does not stop H'El, the time tsunami will destroy the universe.

** [[spoiler:H'El's origins are a mixture of those of Superman and Zod from ''Film/ManOfSteel''. He is formed from countless Kryptonians over the ages, but completely, not just implanted within him as was the case with Kal-El. However, his desire for either having Krypton back or [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum nothing at all]] harkens to the same film's General Dru-Zod.]]
