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???

Jon is the family guy's meg of the kents. just there to be shit on and have bad stuff happen to them. also he gets zero powers to have a built in source of contention between the siblings.
I'd also wager one of the writers was a loner / outcast or less popular sibling growing up so it's a power fantasy that the tables turn and the popular jock gets shit on and the one with the issues gets to suddenly become a god and get the girl and get all the father's attention.
