Son of Superman is a "Fingerman" Clone. Theory explained by Damian Wayne
Superman's son Jonathan Kent practically exactly replics his father. Based on his friend Batman's idea, Jon isn't really Lois and Clark's biological kid but rather a clone from a time when Clark Kent possessed an unusual, obscure power: the capacity to shoot a tiny Superman out of his fingers. He is therefore much like his father.
"Superman's New Power" depicts Superman studying a small, strange spaceship and touching it almost hits him like Kryptonite in Jerry Coleman, Wayne Boring, and Stan Kaye's 1958 Superman #125. His body is still almost perfect, but he cannot fly, strike hard, use x-ray vision or heat. Still, his hands and fingers remain shining and tingling; pointing them at criminals still scares them enough to turn around. His powers seem to have been transferred, to a small Superman launched from the fingertips of the actual Superman. Using all the original Superman's powers, this little copy is just like Clark and takes down the enemies.
Offically DCU Canon, Superman's Weirdest "Mini-Superman" Power Is
Damian Wayne postulates that Jon Kent is indeed one of Superman's old "fingerman" clones. Particularly in this backup tale by Tom King and Belén Ortega from Wonder Woman #10, Damian and Jon's relationship is one of friendly animosity. Growing up beneath their dads' shadows, the kids of Batman and Superman will most certainly spend their adulthood together. In these "World's Finest" tales, Damian loves mocking Jon about what the "S" on the Superman suit stands for; some of his sillier superpowers (in this issue, dubbing freeze breath "cold breath, though "frozen breath" is already a little bit funny).
Damian brings up the moment when Superman fired these tiny clones from his hands during this teasing, which does seem to be the one time Jon feels embarrassed. That Damian is aware of this hidden power implies that this strange Golden Age narrative is canon, and Batman told his son about it—probably one of the few times he laughed really. If one of Jon's growing Superman powers were firing his own small clones from his fingertips, Clark might have also told his own son about it. He hasn't apparently had to deal with it thus far.
Suppose Superman Jonathan Kent is indeed a "Fingerman"?
This helps one to realize that Damian's theory is not outside the domain of possibilities. The initial small clones occurred during a period when Superman lacked his powers. Often spotted sporting his Superman suit, Jon is poised to save lives at any moment. Since the original Superman is losing his own powers (as he was before the recent Warworld Saga), Jon may have to become the lone Superman fairly soon and he may already be quite well-trained. Knowing Jon is a clone and the reason his father can no longer be a hero would cause his parents not want to burden him with this knowledge.
Of course, this notion most certainly is untrue. Still, it's a fun thinking experiment considering how ridiculous the original Superman tale is and knowing it's canon in the World's Finest chronology. Damian Wayne most certainly knows how to push Jon Kent's buttons and that this comment would truly affect him. Daughter of Wonder Woman, Young Lizzie Prince sees the two as her older brothers and battles daily like they are family. Jon won't be renaming himself "Fingerman," and Superman's strange ability isn't expected to resurface very soon.

Powers of Superman: Clarified
The last son of Krypton fled his dying planet to crash land on Earth and be raised as Clark Kent, essentially launching the entire universe of superheroes.
