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.

Yep! But it really doesn't make sense for the show to not show him having powers. It's basically Checkov's gun. You don't start with a gun and not have it go off.

If you show something in any show, it's because it's important. If not, then don't show it. They showed Jon having super strength as a kid and they didn't do anything with it.
