Jordan Kent (UE-43)

"Our whole lives, you've been there for me, and the least I could do is be there for you."

- Jordan to Jonathan

Jordan Kent (born 2007), nicknamed Superboy by Jonathan Kent, is the son of Lois Lane and Superman.

Early life
Jordan Kent was born in 2007 to Clark Kent and Lois Lane.

In a summer, Jordan and his brother went to Smallville and played with Sarah Cushing.

Life in Metropolis
In 2020, Lois Lane called Clark Kent to inform him that he was needed in Metropolis to deal with an issue regarding their sons.

Moving to Smallville
In autumn 2020, Jordan's grandmother died of stroke and the family returned to Smallville. After the funeral, Jordan met Sarah Cushing for the second time. Sarah then talked to Jordan and Jonathan about the life in Smallville as well as mentioning the internet reception in the Kent Farm. Jordan then volunteered to fix the router located in the barn. The trio then went into the barn and Sarah asked Jordan for his phone number for future uses. He then climbed on a ladder to the top of the barn for the router, only to fall on the ground. Jonathan ran across the barn attempting to protect Jordan and was actually protected by Jordan's invulnerability. Sarah shouted for help and Clark arrives to rescue them.

Later that night, Jordan was treated by an EMT and returned to his room with his brother. They then argued over how they are able to survive the accident.

The next day, Jordan and Jonathan searched for something their father was hiding in the barn. They then found a door to an old wine cellar where the Kryptonian pod was stored. As they left to question their parents, they arrived and later revealed Clark, their father, is Superman. In disbelief, Jordan stormed away with his brother following him.

During the night, Jordan went to the Shuster Mines attending a bonfire. As he talks to Sarah about their respective mental issues, he kissed her and was attacked by Sarah's boyfriend. His brother then arrived in defense of him and Sean's group attacked the both of them. Seeing his brother overwhelmed by the group, Jordan's eyes started glowing red and a focused ocular blast shot out of his eyes causing an explosion. Later, Clark arrived and comforted the both of them and brought the twins back to the house.

Soon, Jordan and Jonathan was approached by Sarah Cushing who arrived to apologize for her boyfriend's impulsive actions. Sarah then offered to have Jordan going with the group and he politely denied.

As Jordan's powers being a dangerous threat, the Kent family decided to move to Smallville.

Training
After Clark discovered Jordan's powers, they decided to skip a day in school and go to the Fortress of Solitude for advice from Jor-El's A.I.. During the test, Jor-El's A.I. found no difference in Jordan and the powers are possibly a one-time occasion. Returning to home, Jordan was furious about his powers and shouted at his family. Jonathan, who also suffered from consequences of Jordan kissing Sarah, shouted against Jordan as well. The twins was then stopped by their mother and was brought to the Cushing Residence for a barbecue event. Jordan, Jonathan and Sarah talked about how the kiss affected their daily life and Sarah told them that it would be forgotten quickly.

Returning home, Kal-El called the kids to the dining room and gave Jordan an ELT in case of an emergency while mentioning that their mother is going to quit the Daily Planet.

Joining the Smallville Crows
"These guys think they can push us around. Well, guess what? I'm pushing back."

- Jordan to Jonathan

The next morning, Jordan participated in painting the house and witnessed his father leaving as Superman. Jordan and Jonathan then returned to school, only to have Sean teasing and bullying him. Jonathan attempted to defend his brother and was later assisted by his father. Jordan then trialed for the football team by Tag. Surprisingly, Jordan was able to perform successfully and got the place on the team. Jonathan later convinced Jordan to stop as he has powers on the field with the latter insisting. Jonathan then got angry and asked him why he joined the team as he hates sports. Jonathan and Jordan then went to the diner with Sarah until Lana arrived and yelled at Sarah. Jonathan was able to tell Clark about the situation and told him about Jordan joining the football team, with him disapproving. However, Jonathan realized how joining the team allowed Jordan to feel happy and overcome his social anxiety disorder. He then convinced Clark to allow Jordan to join, with a condition of Jordan not using his powers.

Jordan later took part in his first game and dominated the field. Jordan later went to the diner for the team celebration and talked to Tag Harris who was injured during the bonfire accident and was unable to play in the game. Jordan, Jonathan and Sarah later attended Corey Wellnitz's party. The next day, Sam talked to the twins and told them that Clark has a double life, meaning sometimes he cannot be their father and Superman at the same time, telling them to consider when to ask for his help. Due to the speech, Jordan and Jonathan did not call for their father's help when Tag started to suffer tremendous pain from his vibrating powers. Jordan was slightly injured in an attempt to calm Tag and was later rescued by their father. Later that night, the Kent family and Sam talked about the reason the twins did not call Clark, with the twins telling their parents it was Sam's speech.

Smallville Harvest Festival
On the day of the Harvest Fest, Jordan heard Eliza breaking up with Jonathan. Jordan and Jonathan then returned home, with the former telling their parents about the break up. Clark then talked to Jonathan while Jordan listens on the back and Jonathan left in anger to the Harvest Fest. Jordan then quickly followed and witnessed Jonathan taking alcohol from Timmy and Wellnitz. As Jordan goes out on a date with Sarah, Jonathan interrupted and drunk, humiliating himself and causing Sarah to scold them. Jonathan later apologized to Jordan for ruining his date and was blamed by his parents due to drinking, sending the twins home through shareride. Later that day, Jordan witnessed Clark and Lois forgiving Jonathan for the first time and gifted a box (formerly containing the Sunstone Crystal) to him in order to remind him of how important family is.
