[1][2] Half Kryptonian and half-human, Jon is the biological son of post-Crisis Superman/Clark Kent and Lois Lane and the couple's child in DC Comics canon.

"[5] Following "Convergence", he appeared in the eight-issue comic book series Superman: Lois and Clark as a child who begins to develop superpowers of his own.

[12] In October 2021, DC Comics revealed that the character is bisexual and began a romantic relationship with a male friend, Jay Nakamura, a superhero and online activist.

When I was offered this job, I thought, 'Well, if we're going to have a new Superman for the DC Universe, it feels like a missed opportunity to have another straight white savior.'

His Superboy outfit consists of red sneakers, blue jeans, zippered jacket with the "S-shield", and a cape attached to the back.

For example, tight ripped jeans, at least in Spain, are very popular right now and I think they give a lot of mobility to the character when I draw him on the page.

[21] During the 2019 story arc "The Unity Saga: The House of El", Jon was aged up to 17 years old and given a new Superboy Kryptonian suit of armor.

At the end of the Convergence story arc Superman, Lois, and their son Jon travel across time and dimensions along with Parallax, the Pre-Crisis versions of Supergirl and the Flash, where they can prevent the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths and save the original Multiverse.

[25] Afterward, with their world no longer existing, Brainiac offers to send Superman and Lois to a universe of their choosing.

Arriving in the Arctic together with his father's encouragement, Jon successfully helps Superman rescue a submarine attacked by an Enteroctopus.

At the Fortress, the Kent family is met by the Eradicator, who informs Superman that he is one of a series of robots created by General Zod to seek out and arrest Kryptonian criminals; extract their life force and transfer them to a Phantom Zone projector, where they will await trial with their bodies placed in cryo-chambers.

Part of his protocol is finding Kryptonian survivors, he eventually found Superman in the Earth solar system, including his son.

[31] After some reassurance from his mother (that he has the best of both worlds and has the ability to do great things), Jon joins his father in the fight against the Eradicator.

With the combined forces of Superman and son, the Eradicator's outer shell is shattered, releasing the Kryptonian souls he has captured and causing a massive explosion in the Fortress.

Lois ran afoul of a ring of arms smugglers who blew up the Kents' apartment in an attempt on her life.

Lois and Clark initially refuse, but Jon reveals his fears and insecurities to his parents as this could be an opportunity to understand himself better.

While Lois soon returned to Earth, Jon and Jor-El traveled through space for some time until their ship suddenly fell into a black hole.

The duo first met in the Superman two-part story "In the Name of the Father" and was described as a prologue to the Super Sons series.

[41] Following the battle against Rogol Zaar, the last survivors of Krypton, the Houses of El and General Zod gathered all the alien political factions in the galaxy to brings an end to their destructive wars; and discuss an idea that could ensure lasting peace and safety for the people in the galaxy.

[43] Jon is the protagonist in the comic book Superman: Son of Kal-El, which began publication in July 2021 and ended in December 2022, with 18 issues and one annual.

In the series, Jon gives up his secret identity in order to save a group of college students from a school shooter.

One of the students, Jay Nakamura, reveals to Jon that he covertly runs a news site known as "The Truth" which exposes secrets that the mainstream media will not report, including the plight of the refugees of Gamorra, an island nation under the dictatorship of their president, Henry Bendix.

4 #3, because of Jon's unique human and Kryptonian genomes, his powers are still developing and adapting, resulting in a lack of consistency.

In a three-part graphic novel series by author Ridley Pearson and artist Ile Gonzalez, Jon Kent and Damian "Ian" Wayne have to work together to save their city from global climate disaster.

[59] Born on Krypton's Argo City, Clark and Lois have a baby boy named Jonathan in the 2019 Arrowverse crossover event "Crisis on Infinite Earths".

This combined with failing to save their father from Doomsday leads Jordan to pause his superheroics for a bit, but is forced back into it with the impending threat of Lex Luthor from the family.

After Lex is arrested, Clark gives Jordan and Jonathan their own superhero suits to assist him in protecting the world with him and the Irons.

He later escapes prison with the help of Bizarro Lana but is sent back into government custody when Jordan and Natalie Irons defeat them.

In the season 4 finale, Jon is delighted to learn that Conner is alive and serves as a ring-bearer at his wedding to Miss Martian.

Jack Dylan Grazer voiced Jonathan Kent in the animated film Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons (2022).
