Jon has a "cool" suit because they want him to be the new superman, so he is gonna get dibs on the good stuff.
TTK when SB had it did have the gas, fire, lasers weakness, but I brought up black zero, who had no issues what so ever, and actually if he didn't talk about having TTK you would think he was powered just like a kryptonian.
Kryptonian strength, speed, and durability has already been replaced by 90s kon and new 52 kon, so no it's not a requirement. The sins of youth and black zero examples show that TTK can and does make you just as powerful as a kryptonian.
Have you not read any comics with the original kon-el? If you did you would see how fun and how useful TTK is.
Have you atleast seen the convergence superboy issue where he fights the kingdom come superman?
TTK is good in close up fights but also can get you far away. Once kon was strapped to a table and bit a guard and sent his TTK thru him and freed himself, thsts freaking fun stuff.
New 52 kon had some very impressive TK, but remember he didn't have much physical power so he needed all that TK power to make up for it. If you had a kon who was already physically powerful on some level you wouldn't need actual TK
What you want is a more powerful superman plain as thst. If he has supermans physical strength and full TK he would be way above superman himself, and DC will NOT allow that.
the YJ shows Conner gets knocked around a lot, but by superman level guys, guys a teen super character wouldn't be able to beat anyway.he also has strength and durability which makes him hard to keep down. That was what the new 52 Kon was lacking and that's why he got blindsided multiple times, well if you gave the new 52 kon the YJ shows kons physical powers he wouldn't, he could take your cheap shot then give it back worse to you.
TTK gives kon strength, speed, and durability to go up against tough stuff, but if you add it to the YJ shows kons physical powers he would be able to handle any physical problem way easier than both of them.
The new 52 kon had 2 supersenses, a touch scan, and a micro vibrational scan,they both worked great, and gave him total knowledge of everything around him. Now if you add the YJ show Conners infra red vision and suoerhearing he would have more than enough supersenses to be as good or better than full kryptonians.
There is a lot more to kon than just GEOFFS TT and the new 52 kons, and I love them all, but I also think to make 1 kon that all fans of all his different variations will all like together you have to make kon have a Lil from each version of him.
Kesel
Geoff
New 52
Bendis
Smallville
Young justice
Titans
Reign of the supermen
Teen titans go
Injustice
Probably more I can't think of, have YOU read or watched ALL these versions? Every book, every show? I base my ideas off of all these, not just what is floating in my head.
Adding the YJ shows powers to the new 52s powers would make all his flaws go away and make him SUPER powerful
