Kara and a few other Kryptonians are chosen to scout the galaxy for planets worthy of {{terraforming}}, and she is placed into stasis as she makes the long journey to another world. However, when she suddenly awakens from her [[HumanPopsicle Kryptonian Popsicle]] sleep, she finds that [[EverybodysDeadDave the rest of the crew are dead]] and that her ship picked up [[AloneWithThePsycho an uninvited guest]]... |

| 8 | |
| 9 | * AncientAstronauts: The Kryptonian scout ship crashed on Earth thousands of years before the present time of the DCEU. |
| 10 | * BoldExplorer: Kara lives during the last centuries of Krypton's expansionist policy. She was chosen to explore new worlds and see if they're fit for terraforming. |
| 11 | * MulticulturalAlienPlanet: Krypton seems to be as racially diverse as Earth, as Kell-Ur is a black man. |
| 12 | * {{Prequel}}: Serves as one for ''Film/ManOfSteel''. It explains the {{Backstory}} behind the Kryptonian scout ship that is discovered under the ice in Canada in the film. |
| 13 | * RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: The original comics cast Kara Zor-El as Superman's cousin. Here, she is a distant ancestor of his. Most importantly, nothing indicates whether she will become ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} or not, bar being stranded on Earth at the end. It also depends on the lifespan of a Kryptonian under a yellow sun, since the crash happens thousands of years before Krypton's destruction and Kal-El's arrival on Earth. |
| 14 | * SleeperStarship: Kara and her group of explorers are placed into stasis in order to survive the long journey to another world. |
