Superman & Lois Season 4: Jonathan Kent's Emotional Awakening!

Superman & Lois has given us some of the best DC Universe stories ever! And season 4 just confirmed a seriously cool superpower theory! This all takes place after that huge beginning moment, that seriously unexpected and very tragic death that impacted how the series progressed! This really shook things up for viewers and makes everything a whole lot more unpredictable and really, seriously, shocking!

The new season's been awesome; a totally brutal Lex Luthor, great character development from everyone in the Kent family, which all continues to explore some important character developments surrounding that intense, highly impactful event. Many fans wished for a continued spin-off after this finale episode, showing just how beloved and great those involved and this storyline really was! This whole arc ends when those exciting new DC Universe projects begin next year. This might mean that Superman & Lois becomes the last of the Arrowverse—giving a satisfying end.

Recent episodes show Jonathan (Jordan Elsass) under serious emotional strain. That death—his father’s and Lex Luthor’s taunts really pushed Jonathan to the edge!   Episode 3 shows his powers surfacing as a result! This perfectly explains why his abilities appeared way later than his brother Jordan’s.

There had been plenty of teases and subtle hints prior to the recent storyline developments, hinting that these changes may happen; showcasing those dramatic possibilities. Seeing those abilities emerging after such grief was hugely effective.   It provides rationale to Jonathan’s delayed powers compared to Jordan. That means things will get super exciting with Jonathan now using powers! This also sets up that awesome tension we all really eagerly anticipate! A good moment in a highly emotional sequence of events.

Jordan (Alex Garfin) got powers early– during that Smallville trip in season 1. Moments like his rage-fueled firepit outburst were chilling, especially for those aware of his later development. It is critically important to fully comprehend how both Jordan and Jonathan received their powers to understand the significance surrounding Jonathan’s emotional moment.

Jonathan has also had multiple moments triggered through those emotional extremes that also caused an emergence of those key abilities;  and the emotional impact also directly impacts Jordan’s story—especially the intense pressures created through his perceived role in his brother’s shadow, the pressure he feels to always remain second fiddle!

Linking powers to emotion isn't uncommon.  Think Spider-Man (especially in Spider-Man 2).  Yet it’s especially true with Superman lore. Clark's concerns over power and emotions got examined heavily in Superman & Lois season 3 and also in My Adventures With Superman— showing his added strength when protecting loved ones: "Whenever I’ve needed to protect someone I care about, I get stronger. I always thought it was a Kryptonian thing."   This helps add reality.

This approach works, folks! Making powers feel real. Those massive superhuman abilities really become more understandable— especially through emotions like love, loss, grief, these feelings are also something those involved experienced very profoundly and are made real through human vulnerability that made this plot much more intensely compelling.
