Jonathan "Jon" Kent is the firstborn son of Kryptonian superhero Superman and news reporter Lois Lane. He was born of the New Earth versions of the characters whilst trapped on Telos during Convergence. Following the Rebirth of the Universe, his parents merged with their Prime Earth versions, folding their histories and Jon's into one. To all those around him, Jon now always had been a denizen of Prime Earth. Jonathan was born during a multiversal cataclysm after both his and his mother's lives were jeopardized by a mentally unstable counterpart of his father. Superman managed to get his family into safety with the assistance of an alternate Batman who aided Superman in the delivery of his son. When the one responsible for said cataclysm had a change of heart, Lois and Jon accompanied his father to the first Crisis in order to prevent the Multiverse from collapsing, a mission that proved successful. Jon and his parents ended up stranded in a different Earth than the one they came from, to which they were forced to overcome and adapt to have a fulfilling life. All of that was taken from the Wiki.

Accolades

No Caption Provided

Equipment

  • During his Super Sons days, Jon was given a belt from his father that was capable of projecting a hardlight shield around himself. This shield protected Jon from Rex Luthor's Power Glove's powerful punch. - (Adventures of the Super Sons Issue #1/2)
  • When he was held captive, Jon had a friend make him a sort of fail-safe for if he was ever away from a yellow sun and couldn't get the benefit of all or any of his powers. This was a gem in his belt that, from the looks of it, is stored with a vast amount of yellow sun energy. Once it's broken, Jon is able to get all of his powers back instantly. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #18)

Strength

No Caption Provided

General/Lifting

Striking

Speed

No Caption Provided

Flight/Travel

  • Lex Luthor says that it's nonsense to believe that Jon is a normal kid with his speed after Jon kicked Luthor and ran away from him. - (Super Sons Issue #2, 2017)
  • Jon races his father home and beats him, surprising Superman who was just trying to tell Jon that not even Flash can beat Clark in a race. - (Action Comics Issue #966)
  • Jon outpaces Kid Amazo's energy blast in time to intercept it and shield Damian Wayne. - (Super Sons Issue #16, 2017)
  • Jon flies and intercepts a missile fired from a fighter jet. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #1)

  • Jon is able to outpace the Flash in order to reach Faultline first. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #4)
  • Jon saves several citizens of Metropolis from a flood after he just stopped the worst of the waves. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #8)
  • Gamorra satellites tracked Jon leaving the United States one hour ago but he was able to fly in and attack three members of the Rising as soon as they found Nightwing. Jon simply tells them that he kept flying around the world until he reached back to Metropolis. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #9)
  • Jon is able to fly from wherever he was watching Lex Luthor's press conference being broadcast back to Metropolis (he was just shown flying in Ireland when it started) just mere seconds after a man grabbed his mother's arm. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #10)
  • Jon is able to fly from somewhere remote in the mountains to Bludhaven in a matter of seconds. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #11)
  • Jon intercepts a powerful energy beam aimed from a satellite/space station that was intended to possibly wipe out the small nation of Gamorra. He was on the ground in Gamorra and saw that the beam would fire and hit the nation in "less than a second", yet we see it already had fired by the time Jon had raced up there to intercept it while the beam was still in space. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #15)
  • Jon plants several acres worth of trees for the rainforest restoration effort in the Amazon. This is only part of his day as he also looks out through the galaxy for his father, tries to visit three hospitals, and check in with and spend time with his friends and loved ones. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #16)
  • Jon is attacked mentally by the Ultra-Humanite who tried to overwhelm him with all the negative thoughts people have been thinking about Jon, but Jon is faster than thought and races inside the Ultra-Humanite's cell, fixes his power dampener and reconnects it to the power grid, and reattached it before his mind could get overwhelmed. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #16)
  • Jon races his father to the third planet from Vega and Clark admits that he "legitimately" beat him. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #17)
  • Jon races around the planet to help take out falling satellites in places above Metropolis, Africa, and Europe. There were over a thousand satellites falling and would reach the surface in less than five minutes, although Jon had the help of the Teen Titans and Superman of Earth-2 Val-Zod to help him. - (Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent Issue #1)
  • Jon flies behind Injustice Hawkgirl and rips her wings off before she can react, and he is able to fly towards Yellow Lantern Hal Jordan and take his Ring off before he can form a thought and make a construct. - (Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent Issue #6)

Combat/Reactions

  • Jon takes out all five members of The Hangmen as a red blur and the Teen Titans believed it was Kid Flash who defeated the gang. - (Super Sons Issue #11, 2017)
  • Jon is fast enough to intercept a sniper shot after it was fired and catch the bullet in his bare hands, all faster than the shooter, Talia Al-Ghul, could notice him. - (Super Sons Issue #14, 2017)
  • Jon beats up two League of Assassins members and runs in front of a third one who disengaged and attacked a woman with a sword in time to catch the sword on the downswing and save the woman. - (Super Sons Issue #14, 2017)
  • Red kryptonite caused Jon to be split in two and most likely halved his powers as well, so I'll be using feats for both "Red Superboy" and "Blue Superboy", the two halves created by the red kryptonite. Blue Superboy swats away Kid Deadshot's laser. - (Adventures of the Super Sons Issue #3)
  • Jon flies up and intercepts a missile fired from a fighter jet. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #1)
  • Jon intercepts 67 bullets fired from a rifle and uses his body as a shield to protect a group of university students. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #2)
  • Jon is able to save both his grandparents before their farm blew up. A post-human named Faultline, who couldn't control her powers, was dropped from a plane onto the house. Jon was able to hear the house start breaking as Faultline began falling through the ceiling and was able to grab both his grandparents and was trying to grab his new friend Jay but noticed that he would just phase through his body. So after trying and failing to grab Jay, Jon would take his grandparents a safe distance away without either of them being harmed. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #3/4)
  • Jon uses his Heat Vision to blast falling debris and make sure none of it hits any civilians trapped inside of a building. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #10)
  • Jon is attacked mentally by the Ultra-Humanite who tried to overwhelm him with all the negative thoughts people have been thinking about Jon, but Jon is faster than thought and races inside the Ultra-Humanite's cell, fixes his power dampener and reconnects it to the power grid, and reattached it before his mind could get overwhelmed. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #16)
  • Jon scans the faces of every person in a city block around the Daily Planet in half a second. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #18)
  • Jon is able to track down and intercept Injustice Flash as the speedster was searching for him on Earth. - (Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent Issue #6)
  • Jon is able to have a conversation with Injustice Flash in what he describes as what would have been hours for anyone else but are able to do so before two pigeons could flap their wings again. - (Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent Issue #6)

Invulnerability/Durability

No Caption Provided

Invulnerability

Durability - Blunt Force

Durability - Energy/Temperature

  • Jon survives and shrugs off being basically at the forefront of a medium-sized explosion. - (Super Sons Issue #8, 2017)
  • Jon was deemed as a possible host for the Amazo armor after it had siphoned the energy of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Flash when before it had their energies, it was able to fry a normal human kid and kill him. - (Super Sons Issue #16, 2017)
  • Jon is blasted by Kid Amazo's repulsor blast and sent flying into a wall hard enough to crack it but recovers in a few moments. - (Super Sons Issue #16, 2017)
  • Depowered thanks to yellow kryptonite, Jon is able to force his way out of the Puppeteer's control over his belt shield, deactivate it, and then jump in front of the Puppeteer to try and save him from Rex Luthor, getting shot in the process. This would knock him unconscious but not kill him. - (Adventures of the Super Sons Issue #2)
  • Red kryptonite caused Jon to be split in two and most likely halved his powers as well, so I'll be using feats for both "Red Superboy" and "Blue Superboy", the two halves created by the red kryptonite. Red Superboy is able to unknowingly endure having his backside be Heat Vision'd by Blue Superboy, and this went on to make him hot enough to completely melt the ice that had encased Red Superboy and Damian. - (Adventures of the Super Sons Issue #3)
  • Blue and Red Superboy help slow down a crashing spaceship and Blue Superboy takes a powerful blast from the thrusters but survives. - (Adventures of the Super Sons Issue #3)
  • Jon is able to hold a wooden beam that's on fire without any discomfort. - (Superman Rebirth Issue #26)
  • Jon is fine after blocking Starfire's energy blast on his forearms. - (Superman Rebirth Issue #38)

  • Jon places himself in front of Damian to take a powerful magical blast from Felix Faust and only appears woozy afterwards. - (Challenge of the Super Sons Issue #14)
  • Jon flies in and saves a group of firefighters and citizens from a large fire, using his Super Breath to blow away the flames from a truck. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #1)
  • Jon stands close to, walks toward, and eventually embraces a post-human who was sending out blasts of heat and flames hot enough to melt bullets before they could reach him. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #1)
  • Jon is hit by a heat blast that would be hot enough to melt shipping containers but didn't pose any real threat to him. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #6)
  • Jon flies between
  • Jon intercepts an energy blast and uses his body as a shield, being knocked unconscious for a few moments. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #7)
  • Jon uses his body as a shield and hugs a man who has a bomb go off in his brain, shielding Nightwing from the maximum blast despite standing just behind him. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #9)
  • Jon intercepts a powerful energy beam aimed from a satellite/space station that was intended to possibly wipe out the small nation of Gamorra and then he is fine being close to the station after it self-destructs. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #15)
  • Jon is shocked by a stun baton from a guard at Stryker's Island and sent crashing into a wall but admits that it didn't hurt him that much. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #16)
  • Jon is punched in the air by Ultraman and then blasted in the face by his Heat Vision. - (Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent Issue #2)
  • Jon recharged his solar energy by basically sitting in the sun. - (Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent Issue #6)

  • Jon is able to see a faint trail of energy in the air the day after a super was murdered. - (Nightwing Issue #89, 2016)
  • Jon uses a combination of his X-Ray Vision, Microscopic Vision, and Heat Vision to perform super-speed microsurgery and disable a bomb located inside of a man's head. - (Superman: Son of Kal-El Issue #11)

Telescopic Vision

X-Ray/Microscopic Vision

Solar Flare

  • Jon has the same Solar Flare ability New-52 Superman had where he unleashed a lot of his stored energy all at once in a devastating AOE blast. Jon's is activated when his emotional levels get too high and stressed and when he accidentally fired one off, he damaged the Titans Tower and knocked out all of the Teen Titans. - (Super Sons Issue #11, 2017/Teen Titans Issue #15, 2016)

Lightning

  • Jon gained the ability to emit powerful blasts and large bursts of lightning after being exposed to the Lazarus energies. In a fit of anger, Jon channels the lightning and shoots it out at Injustice Batman, Catwoman, and Harley Quinn in order to get them to release him and let him up off the floor. - (Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent Issue #4)
  • These new powers make Jon more powerful and faster than he's ever been and he uses these to bullrush Injustice Wonder Woman, being able to fly all the way to Jupiter before she reacts. - (Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent Issue #6)
  • With what looks like the last dregs of his powered-up form, Jon is able to snatch the Lasso of Truth away from Injustice Wonder Woman without her stopping him. - (Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent Issue #6)

In the future I imagine Jon to be like Clark with stronger energy projection abilities since HV is Jon's main thing.

As a father, the relationship between Clark and Jon really hit home. I hope he is kept as a kid for a long time because once my son can read I would love to introduce him to supersons.

@thevivas: There is a speed feat in Super Sons #14. Jon flew faster than a speeding bullet, caught it and saved his mom from getting killed.

John and Jor-El tears through a Dominator ship, kicks some Dominator ass. The day is officially saved.

Superman #8

Shortly afterwards, John preforms a pretty darn good combat speed feat, blitzing more than a dozen alien soldiers in a short amount of time.

Same issue as per the above

Surprised the feat of him racing his dad isn’t on here... I remember even Clark commented on how fast he was. Also Jon is now 17, I’m interested to see if there will be any interaction between Jon and Connor considering both characters are now being written by Bendis

Any particular reason or is it more you just don't like Rebirth Superman as a whole and preferred some other previous versions?

So I hear, I get a chuckle out of it and make sure to rub that salt in the wound of some friends of mine who love him.

I hate Jon for my own set of petty reasons. If I'm being objective, there is nothing really wrong with the character, he's just tied to the death of my Superman, and the main reason he can never come back, because Jon is too solid a glue. The only legit gripe I have, outside of no build up, is how he was conceived, by which I mean naturally. They spent decades saying Superman couldn't have a kid with a human, and they threw all that away. If it were me, I would have gone the full Science Fiction route and had Jon be made in the Fortress of Solitude or something. It adds a layer on their relationship as a couple of parents who can't have kids the natural way so they have to find an answer through science.

@saintwildcard: they already did the Superman offspring caused by strange, fantastical means.... his name is Connor. Logically they can’t do that again, I’m really not understanding why the hatred for the current superman. Other than his power levels dwindling a little he’s essentially the same character, I see nothing different with him as his post crisis counterpart other than he benches less weight and runs slower, and seeing him as a husband and father is pretty cool too.

Yes and no, but the story that stated they couldn't have a kid was told a whole decade later (Last Son oF Krypton). Plus, Connor is a clone, this is more about creating a son. I think the substance of the story outweighs any similarities. They had already set the stage, and it's not like they did anything more interesting by having him be born naturally other than throw away the tension and drama.

It may shock you, but I'm one of a few.... dozen people that actually liked New 52 Superman. Unfortunately a lot of his potential was squandered. Lots of bad writers came on board and set the stage in a bad way (looking at you Johns). Really, the only good writers in the New 52 regarding Superman were Grant MOrrison, Greg Pak and Soule (although his SUperman lacked a proper personality, but his stories and romance were pretty well done). I think Greg Pak mastered what I think many writers fail to capture which is writing the Farmboy aspect. Now, I haven't read every Pre 52 story, but I've read plenty of big stories and all the origins and they all fail to get me to relate or care about Superman.

I have no problem with seeing him as a father, and had this story taken place in the New 52, and they had built up to it I would have been onboard. As it stands they push this baby out, time skip and kill my Superman in the process. So yeah, Jon can die a Game of Thrones style death for all I care

@firestarlord73194: Also, can I just say that in terms of male hero characters with kids, I prefer Naruto and Boruto. Now, I haven't seen every single episode and issue, but conceptually I like that more. Naruto as a busy father who can't always be there, and Boruto as a kid who has become jaded to his dads accomplishments and just sees him as a normal dad. We all grew up seeing our dads as heroes, so it's ironic when the son of an actual hero does the opposite. Sky HIgh also did something interesting, in that the son wanted to make his dad proud, and he felt pressure cus all anyone sees are the accomplishments of his parents and attribute them to him and that he'll be just as great as them.

You're one of the few people I've seen who shares a similar opinion as I do about Naruto and Boruto (mind you, I've just seen the movie and a few clips from the anime). I just remember still back when the Boruto movie came out and Legend of Korra was still on and people were flipping their sh*t, ranting about how Naruto and Aang were turned into bad fathers by a studio that was "clearly" trying to crap on them to make Boruto and Korra look better. Because it's just so hard for people to accept that their heroes couldn't be perfect in every aspect of their lives and that many good people can still make mistakes when trying to raise children while balancing the rest of their duties.

17 years old Johnathan Kent tanks a black hole. Granted, he was dazed, but still fully conscious which is a great durability feat, probably an outlier.

17 years old Johnathan Kent tanks a black hole. Granted, he was dazed, but still fully conscious which is a great durability feat, probably an outlier.

Superman #8

Bendis is out of control lol. Good to see the Crime Syndicate though.

@firestarlord73194: I thought that was one of the effects of the black hole, lol. Hopefully the next issue will provide us with more context.

@thebestofthebest: no cuz the black hole was later on, after the fight. I think he genuinely has some sort of psionic powers like Connor and Jon Lane Kent have

@thebestofthebest: no no, it was in the same issue but on a different page (page 12 specifically) none of the ones posted. It was when him and jor el were fighting the hawk people he punches a guy out with a giant psionic fist, it’s smack in the middle of the page, kinda hard to miss

@firestarlord73194: Oh yeah, I remember, excuse my retardation. Anyways, that's not entirely out of the realm of possibility, it just needs to be highlighted in the upcoming issues to become an actual thing.

@thebestofthebest: I hope it gets expanded on and not a case of another writer mistaking the identity of one character for another. Knowing Bendis he’s probably confusing jon for connor and won’t explain this power because he thinks it already was

If one son of Superman and Lois can then it's not out of the realm of possibility that another can.

@firestarlord73194: Indeed, Bendis is so weird. Also, aren't the Crime Syndicate dead? Y'know the Darkseid War events? I bet he didn't think of that, he's screwing things up.
