* FirstEpisodeTwist: In the comics, Jonathan Kent Jr has powers. Lois and Clark talk about how Jonathan is unusually strong and fast, even starting at quarterback in a super competitive football program, despite only being a freshman. Then, there is a freak accident that makes it appear that Jonathan's powers are finally manifesting, leading audience to believe that the show is following the comic book lore and Jonathan will have powers while Jordan feels left out and resentful. Later, however, the twist is revealed that the display of super strength actually came from ''Jordan''. Jonathan shows no signs of being super powered.
