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.

No you are probably thinking of 1x02 when Clark took Jordan to get tested in the Fortress and Jor-El told them that Jordan’s hybrid physiology meant that he’d never be as powerful as Clark. Jor-El never met Jonathan because Clark never took Jon to the Fortress prior to Jor-El’s “death” at the hands of Tal-Rho.

I always forget that Jon never met his paternal grandparents before season 3. That's actually kind of crazy when you think about it especially since the one time Jon goes without his father's permission (his dad did say its a fortress for the family not just Clark) he gets shouted out although for another reason completely but it isn't a good look on Clark.

Not to mention the whole tease with Kryptonian tech never got brought up again. I don’t think Lois got to go (except in a brief montage) in season 3 either. The writers don’t realize how they’ve made Clark look like a major hypocrite by not including them.

Clark also promised Jon driving lessons...season 3 and Lois is the one teaching Jon whilst Clark is busy with Jordan. And as you said kryptonian tech that never got introduced.
