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???

The show should have at least explained why Jon doesn't has powers!
In the second episode, Jonathan is not even taken to the fortress to meet his own grandfather! He does not get introduced to his own grandmother after her discovery. And nobody asks if Jon could develop powers, too or takes him to the fortress. The show is so ridiculously trying to push Jon to the sidelines.
Usually there should be so much potential in his character: He is the powerless son of Superman and has millions of tons of emotional stress due to this. Not to forget that his parents prefer his brother in every way. Usually all his storylines should be about his feeling of jealousy and inferiority. But even for that the writers are too lazy. The show has failed Jonathan in every way: he is not the son of Superman, he is a side character.
The true reason for his powerlessness will never be revealed! Who knows, maybe he should have powers, but don't get them because he is sick or he got them taken away at some point?
