Yeah apparently google has it wrong when you look her up. That's certainly better than 16/17 and 24. But I still figure they'll wait till Jordan's actor is at least 19. But they could just wait till he's 18.
But my main point for bringing it up was the fact that the showrunner seemed to imply a triangle of some sort there, so that seemed like a pretty safe assumption.
I figure a more active Jon would require we spend some real time with him.
Don't mind me. I'm just salty about how they're doing him right now. Like, it's still sooooo dumb that they pulled that bullying plot point out of thin air when Jon already had story built for that moment. But that would require he have a similar amount of focus in the plot to Jordan I suppose. Once again, I'm salty, so don't mind me.

We walk on the path to Secher Nbiw. Though hard fought, we walk the Golden Path.
I saw on reddit someone theorise that Jordan's abilities seem to kick in after suffering some kind of injury. He fell several feet and suddenly he became invulnerable in that moment when protecting Jon and himself from the falling pipes. He was beaten/kicked quite a bit before shooting out the heat vision for the first time (and second time on the field). Tag knocking him several times is unlocking the super hearing.... Perhaps there's more to this and it could explain Jor-El's quick dismissal earlier in the show. All these injuries are forcing his Kryptonian DNA to override his human genes thus manifesting abilities one after another. If it's true, we may not be too far away from Jon developing something himself because of the wrist break and the stress he's been under with his struggles of now living in Smallville. It could explain why Jordan has had a head start over him. Jordan's emotional instability could also be another contributing mechanism, coupled with physical stresses to the body jump starting his Kryptonian abilities. Jon, so far, has been a well adjust kid emotionally, who prior to moving to Smallville, was in peak athletic condition for someone his age. So his Kryptonian genes have remained "dormant" for all intents and purposes as he's never been in a situation that would be so taxing to his mind and body that his Kryptonian genes would quicken his body to "repair" itself by overriding his human genes...until now.
It's an interesting theory that is plausible. I'm curious to see how the writers explain Jon's continuing humanness at this stage. There has to be an in story explanation.

In the comics, Jon’s powers were tied to his emotional state, so all the stress he’s going through could absolutely be a way for his powers to manifest. I hope that theory is true!

Summary of Episode 9, looks like Clark is getting to do some investigative journalism again!Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch), Chrissy (guest star Sofia Hasmik) and Clark (Tyler Hoechlin) team up to piece together the significance of Smallville to Morgan Edge (Adam Rayner).

Worth mentioning that Tag also broke his arm, and it healing was tied to his powers showing up.
I'm pretty sure that it has less to do with Jordan getting hurt and more to do with his emotional state.
My hope is that not only does the Lois and Jon episode put some much needed non-Jordan focus on Jon and what he's going through, but it also introduces Jon to X Kryptonite. I'm fairly certain that, in one way or another, XK is how Jon's going to get his powers.

I had the theory that maybe Jon would leave the show to be with the Legion, but I pretty quickly shot it down as a possibility thinking "there's no way they'd let one of the boys leave the show. Both are too central to the plot and dynamic." But that's just not true, and this last episode proved it, and I don't see any following episodes this season saying otherwise. Jordan is central to the plot, and Jon is his supporting character that deals with the fallout.
If my theory that this show was originally supposed to be about one kid is true, and Jon is a mandate that the showrunners don't seem at all interested in writing more making central to anything, then maybe that's because they know they only have to use him for a while (and revisit him when the shows crossover)? Maybe at the end of this season or at the start of the next there's a mandated episode or two where they have to set up what would basically be a backdoor pilot to Legion? Then they could unload Jon onto another show and finally make the show they've been trying to make this whole time?

Legion as a CW show would be a natural fit, but damn would that need a big budget to not look like crap.
