| ~ Jordan Kent |
Jordan Kent is one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Jonathan Kent) of Superman & Lois.
He is the son of Superman and Lois Lane and the fraternal twin brother of Jonathan Kent II. Unlike his brother, Jordan inherited their father's superpowers which became one of the main factors why Jordan and his family moved to Smallville. Eventually, his brother began calling him Superboy.
History[]
Background[]
Jordan Kent was born in 2006, shortly before his twin brother, Jonathan.
When he was a child, Jordan was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder after suffering outbursts and tantrums. During their summer vacation, Jordan and Jonathan often joined their parents on visits to their grandmother, Martha Kent, in Smallville, where Jordan became friends with Lana Lang Cushing's daughter, Sarah Cushing, who Jordan later developed a crush on.
Eventually, Jordan trained to be a pianist but quit the classes when his anxiety got worse.
Moving to Smallville[]
When Jordan and Jon were at school, their grandmother died of a stroke and they attended her funeral.
Powers and abilities[]
Powers[]
- Human-Kryptonian Hybrid physiology: However, his brother Jonathan did not. When Zeta-Rho was in control of Jordan's body, he was able to activate Jordan's full potential and grant him complete Kryptonian powers when exposed to a yellow sun. Jordan's mother, paternal uncle, and maternal grandfather have noticed how much potential Jordan has, with Sam considering him to be the most powerful person in the entire universe, alongside Clark.
- Solar energy absorption: Upon being exposed to the radiation of Earth's yellow sun, Sol, Jordan gains superpowers. According to Jor-El's AI, Jordan's body can only take in smaller amounts of solar energy than his father's. While it took Clark only 4 years to gain his superpowers, it took Jordan 14 years to display powers. However, after having Zeta-Rho in control, his powers rose to their full potential.
- Accelerated Healing Factor: Jordan can heal faster than a normal human which is how he was able to quickly recover from bruises inflicted on him by Tag Harris. He still had bruises on him the next day.
- Flight: Jordan has the ability to fly, which he awakened when he needed to save Kyle Cushing's life from a fire. While originally, he couldn't well, he improved during a fight with Jonathan-El. His father has since begun helping him to perfect this power, still having issues with landing, but he is starting to get the hang of it. Eventually, Jordan's flying skills become advanced enough to quickly cross entire continents, and even exit Earth's atmosphere.
- Superhuman Durability: Jordan's body is considerably less vulnerable than that of a normal human; he only suffered a mild concussion from badly falling 30 feet and having multiple large metal beams falling directly onto him. When Jordan initially exhibited his powers, his durability was fairly inconsistent; as he had been knocked down, beaten up and bled from punches and kicks from normal humans, and was vulnerable to Tag’s attack (due to the latter's amplified strength and speed), yet he was able to punch through his bedroom wall without receiving a scratch, and later survived a car crash. Since season 2 Jordan has shown significant increases in all of his powers, including his durability; having been able to endure multiple blows from Bizarro Jonathan, a Krypton with similar levels of superhuman strength, and only receive minor wounds. It appears as though Jordan’s durability is still not at the same level as his father, Clark's. While it is currently unknown if Jordan is bullet proof yet like his father is, Jordan was able to get smashed into a truck and driven through several walls while fighting Lana-Rho and barely felt anything.
- Space Survivability: Jordan’s body is able to survive going into the vacuum of outer space. As he flew into space to successfully rescue his paternal uncle and land back on Earth.
- Superhuman Speed: Jordan can move faster than the human eye can see, as demonstrated when he saved Jon and Candice from a drug dealer. This also allows everything in the environment turn to slow-motion as he dodged a heat vision strike from another X-K user before sneaking behind him. He later outran a cave-in, bringing Jonathan and Natalie along with him. He later sped his father out of the way from Lana-Rho hitting him, and turned her freeze vision against Jonathan-El before it could reach him; he also caught the kinetic hammer when Natalie threw it at Lana-Rho.
- Accelerated Perception: Jordan awakened this power when Heat vision was flying at him when he removed his arms protecting his face time seemed to slow down around him allowing him to move behind the XK junkie and beat him.
- Superhuman Strength: While Jordan's strength is not yet as tremendous as his father, Clark Kent's; due to his limited solar energy capacity, his strength is still elevated by human standards. He is a natural football player, as he was seen stopping other members of the team with ease. During training with his father, he was able to embed his fist in a wooden log. He also accidentally snapped the bones in Jonathan's wrist when he attempted to punch Jimmy Cutter. He also punched through his bedroom wall in anger towards his brother bonding with Sarah. He can also as pick up Jonathan with one arm. Later, his strength increased enough to actually harm his uncle with his hits, which were also accompanied by shock waves. Under his grandfather's training, which included punching feed bags, he became strong enough to punch a bag off its suspension hook and uppercut people into the air. During his fight with Jonathan-El, he catapulted him high into the air with a knee strike. He later knocked out Lana-Rho with the kinetic hammer.
- Superhuman Breath: Jordan's first experience with kryptonite left him sick and he rapidly cooled the air when he sneezed, resulting in the formation of ice. After the kryptonite was burned out of his system, he gained some control over his freezing breath. His grandfather trained him by having him freeze water being tossed from a bucket. He later used his freeze breath to freeze an entire car.
- Superhuman Hearing: Jordan's auditory senses are highly developed. His hearing is very sensitive, as common sounds are much more harmful to him, causing him to have migraines. He heard Jonathan's bones snap when he accidentally broke his wrist. His grandfather, Jor-El's hologram said his mechanosensations had become significantly enhanced and his auditory perception caused an allodynic response; until he can control what he heard, every sound would be accompanied by pain, and would require practice to focus. He was able to briefly concentrate on just the voices of Sarah and his brother, but Jordan lost focus, when he heard them bonding. He later replicated this to locate his father, Clark, who was several miles away, and later when he attempted to find him again, he was able to hear either Australia or New Zealand until he heard his father yelling from the Badlands. He overheard a conversation between his father and Lana Lang Cushing, much to Sarah's confusion. His grandfather stated that his super hearing makes him better than a satellite.
- Heat-vision: Jordan can emit red energy beams of intense heat from his eyes. Jordan first used this power when under stress over being bullied and his brother being beaten up by Sarah's then-boyfriend for a mistake. He has since gained some control over this power, as seen when he attacked his paternal uncle. He was able to reuse it again with ease in his second clash with his uncle. His grandfather trained his power by having him shoot at tin cans. Jordan’s heat vision was then accurate enough to light several candles all without melting them. He was able to cut through solid rock with ease following his training, and he is accurate enough to intercept Jonathan-El's freeze vision with his own heat vision.
- X-Ray Vision: Jordan also possess power of x-ray vision. This ability manifested itself after his mother's surgery which had caused Jordan a panic attack, and this moment triggered him to develop x-ray vision and can see through walls in the hospital; including skeletons of other individuals. Overtime his power allowed him to view infrared heat signatures that supported him to find his grandfather buried deeply underground, as well as seeing the armed men who guarded cargo containers before he stealthily attacks them.
- Solar energy absorption: Upon being exposed to the radiation of Earth's yellow sun, Sol, Jordan gains superpowers. According to Jor-El's AI, Jordan's body can only take in smaller amounts of solar energy than his father's. While it took Clark only 4 years to gain his superpowers, it took Jordan 14 years to display powers. However, after having Zeta-Rho in control, his powers rose to their full potential.
Abilities[]
- Expert Hand-to-hand Combantant: To be added
- Skilled Pianist: To be added
Weaknesses[]
- Green Kryptonite: Green Kryptonite not only physically hurts Jordan, but also it weakens his physical attributes; making his resilience equivalent to that; of a normal human, but if he is exposed to enough Green Kryptonite for too long, it will eventually kill him. But despite being weaker than his father, he has a considerably higher resilience to Green Kryptonite. It is speculated to be because of his Human-half deluding the effects on his half-Kryptonian.
- Noise: When Jordan's enhanced hearing came in, loud noises were difficult for Jordan. This includes the simple closing of a locker and the bell ringing. Because of this, Jordan wore special headphones that canceled out sound. However, Jordan has gotten more control of his powers after being host to Zeta-Rho.
- Red solar energy: Jordan is powerless under the radiation of a red sun.
- Social anxiety disorder: Jordan was diagnosed with a personal anxiety disorder when he was a child and has been taking benzodiazepines as medication and going to therapy. However, this has toned down after Jordan gained powers, becoming Sarah's boyfriend and bonding with his parents and brother
