- Mongul tries to force Superman to hand over the key by threatening with crushing his friends... and Superman tells he cannot let him have it, even if he loses them.
- During his trial, Superman watches his father trying uselessly to reason with the Krypton's Science Council before launching his son off the planet. Then his parents embrace each other while they wait for the end.

Death: Death is everywhere, child!
Superman: Pa!
Death: You would do well to remember that!
Superman: PA!! - He is also incredibly frightened of losing Supergirl
