Chances seem good that it doesn't have to do with that. PKJ has alluded to it likely being more than that.

And as shown in House of El with The Red King (Jon's half brother and also a hybrid) who assumed he'd be more powerful than Clark, it takes more than just good genetics to have what Jon apparently has in terms of power.

It actually just hit me that PKJ kept saying that Jon owes his powers and status to Clark. So what if this "X factor" with his powers that doesn't seem to be inherited is how they give Jon something of his own that he didn't get from Clark. So the thing that makes him so crazy strong isn't just something passed down from his mom and dad.
