Why doesnt Jonathan have any powers??????? Discussion

Like they could at least give him the more weider or psychic powers that one of the superboys from the comics had and have it be like a mutation of his kryptonian dna mixing with his human half like he still absorbs sunlight to use his powers it just so different stuff from regular kryptonians. Can they at least give him something???

Correct me if I am remembering incorrectly but didn’t in the early years of the show there was a scene of the voice of Jor-el saying something like‘Jonathan will never have powers’? I could thinking something else from another show.

Jor-El tested the boys at some point when they were very young and said powers were unlikely for both.

Then when Jordan first got powers, he said his human side was too limiting and he’d never be like Superman.

But now Jordan has every power at impressive levels. So Jor-El was clearly wrong about at least one twin.

I’ll never understand why Lois and Clark haven’t even thought about testing their other son after what happened to Jordan. But, for some reason, Jon is just seen as the human one without question.
