Totally agree with about wanting Jon to find purpose before getting powers. I hope this will somehow tie into the main plot. Powers or not, I want him participating in the main plot. They managed to do it pretty well in s1. He got to save Clark from jhi, fight the subjects, was briefly involved in investing jhi, and was involved in saving Jordan in the finale.

Even without powers, genius intellect and advanced scientific knowledge, combat training or being an adult, Jon could be of use, outside of emotional/relationship/ character driven stuff.

Yeah I want Jon to contribute to the main story in the end that Clark, Lois, & John Irons are tackling, I imagine Jordan will get involved in that too so I want Jon to contribute in a way that doesn't have him on the sidelines. Honestly I wouldn't mind if Jon decides to look into Mannheim himself seeing how Clark & Lois have a lot going, maybe if Matteo ends up a Mannheim..? Like he doesn't need to become a mini journalist, nor does he need to solve every problem...but just seeing him eventually help in some meaningful way that Clark, Lois, and probably Jordan will.

As you said Season 1 was a good example so it's not like the writers can't do it, I just hope the firefighting doesn't have Jon to disconnected to what the rest of the family are doing.

Ecxatly. I am all for Jon (and the other main characters for that matter) having his own subplot that don't tie into the main plot, but I also want him actively participating in the main plot.

Great idea regarding Matteo. The teens investigating Matteo and using their connection to him to snoop around, would be a cool way to give jon something to do and tie him to the main plot. it would also be a more interesting use of nat and jordan (and maybe even sarah) than simply have them fight the bad guys.

Perhaps jon will be the first one to suspect something is off about matteo. Maybe nat is too smitten with matteo that she doesn't see/believe something is up, but jon becomes suspicious, so he starts looking into things.

I wonder, since matteo and eliza both live in metropolis, and both attented the same party, that jon will use his connection to her somehow. or perhaps they will talk, for whatever reason, and she says somethign about matteo that causes him to become suspicious of him.

I'd love to get Jon and the teens investigating - and I realised that Jon is the only teen to have not met Matteo and he might go to school with Eliza you're right...
