* The destruction of Kara's home world of Argo following the obliteration of Krypton. First, the neighboring planet's explosion razes the surface of the planet. Then, it knocks the planet out of orbit, sending it tumbling away from its Sun. The inhabitants are explicitly said to have slowly wasted away from the world freezing over due to lack of a nearby Sun. Finally, Kara's family all go into stasis to try and survive as best they can. In the end, all of the pods aside from Kara's end up rupturing and killing all of the inhabitants. At least one is shown to have been impaled through the center by an icicle.
