Life in Metropolis
At some point prior to 2020, Jonathan became the quarterback of his football team and dated Eliza.[2]
In 2020, Lois Lane called Clark Kent to inform him that he was needed in Metropolis to deal with an issue regarding their sons.[3]
In late 2020, Jonathan was talking to Eliza on video call and was interrupted by his father, who was informed by Lois about Jonathan's success in the football team.[1]
Moved to Smallville
When his grandmother died of stroke, the Kent family returned to Smallville and attended the funeral. Jonathan and Jordan later met Sarah once more, introducing themselves and talked about life in Smallville. When Sarah told them about the poor internet connection in the town, Jordan volunteered and Jonathan followed. As they were in the barn, Sarah asked for Jordan's phone number instead of Jonathan. Jordan then climbed to the router and fell, with Jonathan attempting to catch him and trapped under rubble. Luckily, Jordan's powers was activated and was able to shield Jonathan from the fall, with their father soon rescuing them.[1]

They then entered the wine cellar under the barn, only to find their father's pod from Krypton. The twins then stormed out demanding answers from their father. Clark then revealed his identity as Superman and made the twins leave in anger.[1]
During the bonfire in Shuster Mines, Jordan kissed Sarah and angered her boyfriend. Jonathan then arrived and defended his brother, as well as fighting Sean and his friends. However, he was overwhelmed and was unable to fight back until Jordan's heat vision was activated, causing an explosion to stop the fight. Clark the returned to comfort the twins and decided to move to Smallville in order to help Jordan control his powers.[1]
Jealousy
In order to protect people from Jordan's powers, Clark brought Jordan to the Fortress of Solitude and told Jonathan to go to school telling Jordan was feeling unwell after the explosion. In the school, Jonathan and Sarah talked about Jordan and later went to class together, with the latter telling the directions. Jonathan was then able to trial for the football team. However, he was sabotaged and humiliated by Sean and his friends, causing him to lose the team manual. Frustrated, Jonathan returned home and argued with his brother as to why Jordan is special while he is not. Lois returned home and told Jonathan to calm down, and brought the twins to the Cushing barbecue where Jonathan and Jordan talked to Sarah once more. Later that night, Jonathan talked to Eliza on video call and reconciled with his brother.[4]
Jordan and Football
The next morning, Jonathan participated in painting the house and witnessed his father leaving as Superman. Jonathan and Jordan then returned to school, only to have Sean teasing and bullying Jordan. Jonathan attempted to defend his brother and was later assisted by his father. Jonathan later took part in football practice and was informed that Jordan is trialing for it 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.[5]
