Their interaction is touching and Jay proves to be far more analytical with issues than Jon. The twist that Jay will never need Jon to rescue him because he is beyond physical harm is a great one and also helps remove the trope of so many other superheroes. This makes far more sense and opens Jon to more story opportunity than just kryptonite and magic. It’s also interesting that previous writers laid claim that Jon was even more powerful than his father, but Tom Taylor has concentrated on the fact that Jon is just as much Lois’ son as he is Clark’s and shares her human strengths and weaknesses too. The parallels between his father’s debut and his struggle to be respectful to the legacy are very well told and like Clark, Jon fights on until his last breath. Story – 5: Echoing elements of Clark’s rescue of the Constitution space shuttle, this issue focuses on Jon’s struggle to help in the never ending battle. Jon apologises for kissing and running but duty calls and of course they need to plan retaliation on Bendix! The two teenagers kiss and in true Superman style, an emergency interrupts (plus Jon remembers he needs to return the bridge he dismantled). Jay explains that with his ability to become intangible he’s the one person that will never need Jon to worry about him.
Jay cuts Jon short and says something that shocks Jon.
