So, like, if Jordan kent never existed or is never created, does the series really change that much? Like ok, I have..mixed 40/60 feelings on Jordan but just genuinely asking: Jordan's never born, 2 routes this goes:
Route 1: Jonathan gets powers the same manner Jordan does
Route 2: Jonathan does not get powers until season 4
Thoughts?
I feel like Henry (aka steel) forgave superman way too soon. Like one full season and bam, they are pals. Personally, I think the beef should have properly ended in at least season 3 or at least season 2 (instead of the cushings). Like imagine you get terrorized by the so-called man of tomorrow, that dude kills your wife on LIVE TV, kills all your friends, makes you abandon your daughter to keep her alive, then you enter an entirely different timeline, see that same guy married to YOUR wife, have two sons and is seen as the most beloved person on the planet.
Me personally, I'm hitting that man with the toji gojo treatment during that season 1 finale.
This subreddit had a weird obsession (especially before the cancellation) with either Jordan or Jonathan turning evil. Most of the time it was Jordan, but Jonathan got his share too. I genuinely never understood why. Some of y'all wanted a Dabi Part 2 so badly.
Personally, I think the idea is pretty cringe. Having Superman's son go full villain would've been generational slander and would've done unnecessary damage to Superman's reputation, especially before the 2025 movie.
That said, if the series absolutely insisted on doing an evil twin storyline and there was no way around it, Jordan probably makes more sense than Jonathan.
Yes, I've seen the 500th post about Jonathan being ignored, neglected, abused, overlooked, tortured, or whatever. But Jordan turning dark arguably feels more natural from a narrative standpoint. The show already spent more time exploring his emotional struggles, isolation, powers, anger issues, and tendency to act impulsively. Whether that would've been a good idea is another discussion entirely, but if the writers were determined to make one of them fall, Jordan seems like the more believable choice.
Looking at this community, one question that has never been asked is that between the two brothers. Using their season 4 counterparts (so this is far), who wins in a hypothetical 1v1 fight? This isn't to the death but only till the other guy is knocked out.
