* SecretIdentityIdentity: During the first scene, Klar Kent, the Superman of the twenty-fifth century, discusses at length the issues caused by leading a double life.
-->Klar Kent sighed. The role each of the chosen El males was handed was as much a constriction as an honor. It was nothing less than having to protect a world and, very often, a universe.\\
One had to become two men, and to pretend one had nothing to do with the other. It was not as easy a thing as one might expect. The third Superman had to pretend his Kent-self had been killed, and to take up the name of Jon Hudson. The fourth Superman's identity had been revealed during a monorail accident. One Superman had simply abandoned his secret identity, becoming a full-time Man of Steel until his son was old enough to succeed him. More than once, a Superman had suspected himself of becoming quietly schizophrenic.

* {{Diary}}: Katherine de Ka'an inherits her ancestress Kara's diaries and learns about her life and [[Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy her romance with Dev-Em]] through them.
-->Even before her mother passed the diaries of Kara Zor-El, the Prime Supergirl, to her to read and contemplate when she was of age, she had felt a distinct kinship with her. They were both Krypts, after all. In an unbroken line for over five hundred years, she was descended from The Last Daughter of Krypton. And she found no trouble at all in understanding "Linda Lee's" youthful frustration. Delegated to her older cousin Kal-El's shadow and sworn to silence about her very existence, the Maid of Might's desire for her own fame and destiny pricked Katherine sharply as most merely physical things could not.\\
But like herself, "Linda" had endured and been rewarded. True, Katherine was not allowed to throw off the shackles of Family tradition and join The Superman in the spotlight of public fame. But she had Klarior's respect. She knew that and found warmth and heart in the fact. The many branched House of El made him her "Uncle" in name only, but he was Moliom of his House and none denied that. He had earned it many times over.\\
And, reading Kara's diaries, she found a kindred spirit and it was a fine, reassuring thing to know that she was not alone in her search for purpose and love. Kara, too, had sought and needed these things. And found them.
