If they wanted an excuse to give Johnathan powers, there is an easy way. Most of Jordan’s powers kicked in when he “lost it” or had a freak out. They made a point of showing how Johnathan is always calm – but if he starts to lose it with everything that is happening… they could give him power as well. I don’t think they will – but they could go this route and stick with their logic
They have given a few clues already through Lex. Lex pulled a fake out by crushing a heart that was not actually Superman’s and lied about it. Lex is actually saving the real kyptonian heart to create the new Brainiac (or a cyborg version of Brainiac), as Lex referenced Brainiac. My guess that the boys will eventually get the heart back. Both of Lois’ boys will have powers soon for the big showdown.
Jonathan gwtting powers should be in the series finale. His brother hanging on by a thread, Lois and Jonathan, even fellow Smallville citizens, all trying to fight back, theyre about to lose, suddenlt Jonathan yells in anger, shooting huge laser beans from his eyes, hovering in the air
Tom Cavanagh will be the one to portray Milton Fine who is actually a persona of Vril Dox AKA Brainiac. During Superman & Lois episode 4 or episode 5 we will have a crossover between Superman & Lois and Gotham Knights, where Jordan Kent/Superboy, Jonathan Kent & Natalie Lane Irons team up with Turner Hayes & Carrie Kelley/Robin to take on Lex Luthor who teamed up with Harvey Dent/Two-Face. I know we are getting this, David Ramsey even confirmed that the scrapped Justice U show along with Superman & Lois and Gotham Knights were known as the Superverse.
Superman and Lois hits exactly where it needs to today i understand what the message is : Today you are young healthy without a care in the world. You wont be like this forever and some of us are at risk of ending it sooner . You thought fighting a tumor was difficult ? Try having no brain . You guys who are wealthy healthy and with infinite stamina you think you suffered ? Guess what i m still suffering but you , you break down so fast you guys cant handle a cold having a bit fever low energy… you have no idea how it feels for the rest of us ! We can handle pain , delicious perfect pains you cant imagine . And you guys cant handle Superman dying ? Superman is a brand you can put on a flag wave it and be proud of it. Superman and Lois now that s life at it s peek aka the life outside the social medias aka the lives that you should be living yourselves.
The plot weakness on this show is that in reality Jordan , after Luther has his dad killed , almost killed his granddad and is trying to kill his mom, would use either his super speed or his heat vision or both to kill lex in less than a split second, far less time than luthor needs to turn on tjat gadget that brought Jordan down in ep 2. Anyone would take advantage of those powers to kill Luther
