"Your pod's coordinates are interlocked with Kal-El's. You will follow him to Earth."

—Zor-El to Kara^[src]

A pod was used by Kara Zor-El to escape Krypton. Years later, Mon-El also used it to escape Earth's lead-tainted atmosphere.

History

During the destruction of Krypton, Zor-El used the pod to send his daughter Kara away the dying planet, its coordinates being interlocked with Kal-El's pod. However, the pod was later knocked off-course into the Phantom Zone due to a shockwave caused by Krypton's destruction. After being stuck there in stasis for 24 years, Indigo sensed the pod and used her powers to re-activate its engines, causing Kara to awaken. The pod then escaped the Phantom Zone, dragging Fort Rozz along with it. It crash-landed on Earth, where it was discovered by Superman. The pod was later taken by the D.E.O., who stored it in their base.

When Kara saved the Earth by launching Fort Rozz into space, Alex Danvers piloted the pod into space to save her.

After releasing a trace amount of lead into the Earth's atmosphere to fight off the Daxamite invasion, Kara sent Mon-El into space in this pod. The pod soon entered a temporal disruption wormhole, bringing Mon-El to the 31st century.

Mon-El flies into a wormhole.

Behind the scenes

• The pod's design is referenced in Supergirl: Rebirth #1, which incorporated many elements from the TV series into the DC Comics' world. Inside a pod created based on "Kryptonian files", a powerless Kara is sent right towards the Sun as a desperate attempt by the D.E.O. to fully restore her powers, which ultimately works.

Trivia:

• Kryptonian spacecraft use antimatter to propel themselves through space. The engine from even a small one, Like the pod that carried Superman, Supergirl and Mon-el to Earth as a baby, Can be transformed into a bomb with the proper resources and knowledge. Such a bomb could destroy three whole solar systems.
• A Kryptonian anti-matter engine could also be used to build a make-shift Phantom Zone projector.
