Biography
Early Life
Jordan Kent was born in 2007 to Clark Kent and Lois Lane.[4]
In a summer, Jordan and his brother went to Smallville and played with Sarah Cushing.[4]
Life in Metropolis
In Metropolis High School, Jordan was bullied by countless members of the footballers.[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.[5]
Moved to Smallville
In fall 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.[4]
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.[4]
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.[4]
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.[4]
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.[4]
As Jordan's powers being a dangerous threat, the Kent family decided to move to Smallville.[4]
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.[4]
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.[1]

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.[6]
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.[7]
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.[8]
On the following day, Jordan talked to Sarah and she told him about not ready for a relationship at the moment, asking to be friends with Jordan. As he walked home, he was assaulted by his former classmate, Tag Harris.[8] He then summoned his father using the ELT, who asked him if he was fine and sped out to follow Tag.[2]
Trust
Jordan later returned to school and prepared for his game in Metropolis for the next day. Sarah informed the twins that she would watch their game and supported them. Unfortunately, Jordan could not focus as his superhuman hearing started emerging, which gave him migraines. Jonathan worried about his brother and offered to call their father. Jordan refused as he did not want his father to worry until the game is over. Back at the Storm Cellar, Jordan was train by his father, who instructed him to punch a tree trunk. Jordan initially failed and later succeeded with his brother's suggestion.[2]
Hours later, Jordan and his family travelled to Metropolis for the football match with the DOD monitoring security. During the game, the Metropolis Spartans assaulted Jordan and Clark approached his son, protecting him from being injured. Jordan's superhuman hearing then affected him, causing him to be unable to hold his heat vision. Thankfully, Clark was able to block the heat using his bare hands, concealing their identity as Kryptonians.[2]
After the match, Clark talked to Jordan about how he lied to him and what danger his lie nearly caused. Jordan refused to admit that his powers started emerging with his brother quickly revealing the truth. The two argued with each other about the lie, only for Clark to be interrupted by Lana's phone call.[2]
Despite their father's orders to not leave the room, the twins were confronted by their teammates and followed them for fun at the streets. Their enjoyment was quickly interrupted by their rivals and Jordan was taunted at. Enraged by years of being bullied in school, Jordan attempted to assault Jimmy Cutter, with Jonathan placing his hand to prevent any injuries done to Cutter.[2]
The twins returned to their home the following day and was scolded at, with Clark revealing that he himself struggled with control in his early days and taught Jordan that rebuilding trust after breaking it takes longer than building it from scratch. Jordan apologized for his actions and returned to school soon. Sarah talked to Jordan after her kidnapping and expressed her fear, also questioning about the origins Tag's power as she was told that Jordan caused it. After leaving school, Jordan's migraines started to worsen as Clark flew him to the Fortress of Solitude.[2]
Suffering from Powers

Jordan was quickly examined by Jor-El's A.I. and was confirmed about his problem caused by his newly emerged superhuman hearing. Jordan was brought back to the house and was given a pair of sound-cancelling headphones in order to dampen his powers long enough for his lessons on control. Later, Clark returned and taught him about focusing his powers on only one sound at a time. Unfortunately, the sound of water dripping overpowered Jordan and he put on his headphones on once more.[9]
With Clark away, Jordan independently attempted to focus once more, with him focusing on Sarah. His superhuman hearing was able to capture the conversation between Sarah and Jonathan, which Jordan was able to hear part of and misunderstood. When Jonathan returned, Jordan stood up and confronted him about the conversation. Jonathan soon caused a loud noise and knocked Jordan on the ground. Coincidentally, the incident allowed Jordan to hear his father in danger, and brought his brother along with him to rescue the Man of Steel.[9]
Using his superhuman hearing, Jordan was able to pinpoint his father as Jonathan hit John Henry Irons with the truck. While Jordan struggled to stand up, Jonathan took the Kinetic Hammer and damaged the Solar Flare, freeing both his brother and father for apprehending Irons.[9]
Confidence
When Jordan went to school, he saw Sarah signing up for the talent show. However, Sarah revealed her stage anxiety and Jordan motivated her by revealing that he used to play the piano before his social anxiety dominated. Jordan later offered to serve as Sarah's pianist. Later that day, Jordan and Jonathan agreed that they both would be by each other's side. Jordan later observed that Sarah's father was missing from the performance, quickly stepping up for Sarah's performance.[10]
Infected with Kryptonite
Following Clark's encounter with Reno Rosetti, Jordan was infected with the Synthetic Kryptonite Gas that also inhibited his father's powers. He later found out about the symptoms when he sneezed during a practise with Sarah and contacted his father, revealing that both of them are affected.[11]
While resting in his room, the Kent family treated him with water and saw him causing frost all over his table. As the infection grew worse, Jordan started struggling to breathe and was brought to the Fortress of Solitude. The A.I. of Jor-El once again advised Clark about their previous encounter with similar situations, with Clark holding Jordan's hand as the laser pierced through his skin in order to burn the Kryptonite out of his system. Thankfully, Jordan was able to withstand the lasers and developed superhuman breath, which he compared to "having a piece of wintergreen gum in his mouth at all times".[11]

- Solar Energy Absorption: According to Jor-El's A.I. in the Fortress of Solitude, Krytonians and hybrids with powers are able to absorb solar energy and convert the energy as strength for powers. However, Human DNA is too "limiting" and the powers can only be manifested once.[1]

This new ability affected his daily life and he started having migraines, eventually causing his brain to heat up after continuous heat vision blasts caused by the migraine.[2]

— Jor-El's A.I.[src]
| ||
- Limited Solar Energy Absorption: Due to Jordan's human genes, he is unable to absorb enough solar energy to access his powers. Heat vision was also said to be a random occurrence and superhuman strength is simply 1/100 that of his father.[1] However, this was proven inaccurate as Zeta-Rho was able to unlock Jordan's true potential, subsequently giving him the powers of a regular Kryptonian in exposure to a yellow sun.[3][12]
