Is Clark a good father to Jon?
With Jon’s latest story arc in Superman Unlimited, it’s clear that they’re focusing on what happened to Jon.
And that made me wonder just how good of a father Clark has been these past few years.
When Jon was a baby, Clark and Lois did their best to raise him well and normally, given everything that was going on at the time.
They also had a good relationship when Jon was a child and was developing his powers.
My issue is with the “age gap” Jon went through.
I don’t blame Clark for letting him go into space, after all, Jon was the one who insisted. But after his escape from the volcano, you can really see Jon drifting apart from his parents.
I mean, it’s understandable, he’s “grown up”but that doesn’t mean they should ignore how this might affect Jon. Maybe I haven’t read enough comics, but I don’t see his parents really trying to follow up on what happened to Jon.
Aside from that, it’s not just Jon, it’s the twins, too. I feel like I haven’t seen them lately, and let’s not forget when he didn’t notice that Conner was missing (in Superboy: The Man of Tomorrow)
