Superman searched Earth's orbit, while Batman and Nightwing searched the Earth. Panicking, both his father and the Justice League searched desperately to find him. He got lost in the process, and as such went missing. Soon after discovering his powers, Jon attempted a flight during nighttime, something his father counseled against. He would later travel with his father to the Justice League Watchtower and Superman introduced Jon to Batman and Wonder Woman as Superboy. Lois would use one of Batman's suits and helped Jon and Superman to defeat the Eradicator.Īfterwards, Clark gave Jon a hat and glasses to help form Jon's secret identity. This battle would eventually end up in the Batcave located on the Moon. He and his family would later encounter the Eradicator, who was intent on absorbing Jon's Kryptonian side. Jon later discovered he had other superpowers, including heat vision when he accidentally killed his cat. After later being rescued by his father, Jon was told the truth about his family's origins. This led to the discovery that Jon had inherited superpowers from his Kryptonian father. This suspicion came to a head when he and his mother were kidnapped by Bruno Mannheim and Intergang. However, with his father acting as a secret super-hero and his mother still publishing her work under the pseudonym 'Author X', he was always suspicious of their awkward behavior. Jon grew up oblivious of his parents' past while living an apparently normal life. Outside, Bruce and Diana discussed Jon's immense future potential. After he was born, they named him Jonathan Samuel Kent, after his paternal and maternal grandfathers. After Clark arrived at the Fortress, Diana left Lois' side, letting Clark take over. His father, true to his nature, attempted to participate in the battle, only to be dissuaded by fellow heroes Martian Manhunter and John Stewart, who insisted that Earth's heroes had the invasion well in-hand, and that he was needed elsewhere= namely, his son's birth.ĭuring the birth, Batman stood guard outside the fortress while Wonder Woman helped support Lois.
Jon was born a relatively short time after his parents' marriage, amidst an (attempted) extragalactic invasion by an alien force. To avoid discovery, the family went undercover while adopting the surname White.įollowing the cosmic upheavals of the Rebirth period, this character's history was revised. Jon and his parents ended up stranded on a different Earth than the one they came from and had to learn to adapt. When the being responsible for said cataclysm had a change of heart, Lois and Jon accompanied Superman to the first crisis in order to prevent the Multiverse from collapsing, a mission that proved successful. Jonathan was born during a multiversal cataclysm where his mother and father had been abducted from their Earth and placed on a sentient planet to fight amongst other abductees from throughout the multiverse.Īfter both his and his mother's lives were jeopardized by a mentally unstable counterpart of his father, Superman managed to get his family to safety with the assistance of an alternate Batman, who had also aided Superman in the delivery of his son. As the first Earth-born Superman, Jon sought to use the role to help in new ways for "truth, justice, and a better world." Upon returning home, Jon became the new Superman in the place of his father, who had departed the planet indefinitely on a mission to Warworld. His heroic and diplomatic actions in the intergalactic community resulted in an invitation to join the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st century. Jon began fighting crime as Superboy at the age of 10 at age 11, an accident caused him to experience time asynchronously for several weeks and return as a 17-year-old. Jonathan "Jon" Kent is the firstborn son of Kryptonian superhero Superman and news reporter Lois Lane. But the next time you wonder if you measure up.or if you ever think of yourself as just "the son of Superman".know that you're the Superman against whom all heroes will be measured someday. Your mom and I will always miss the little barn swallow that we lost. The resilience that must have taken, Jon. And when you came back to us, somehow you were the same compassionate, selfless, outgoing, happy kid you were when you left.
That almost no one I know could have handled. You were tested in ways I couldn't have handled at your age.
