Jonathan Samuel Kent, nicknamed "Jon" by his friends and family, is the son of Franchise/{{Superman}} and ComicBook/LoisLane and the third character in Creator/DCComics history to bear the name ComicBook/{{Superboy}}. Born during the ''ComicBook/{{Convergence}}'' event, Jon is named after the fathers of both his parents (Jonathan Kent and General Samuel Lane). After the trio escape to the ComicBook/New52 universe, Jon is raised as a normal boy under the surname White (after ''Daily Planet'' [[DaEditor Editor-in-Chief]] Perry White), unaware of his parents' history or their secret activities (Clark carried on as Superman in secret, while Lois became an author known as "Author X"). Eventually, Jon's Kryptonian powers manifest, just in time for the death of the New 52 Superman. This eventually forces Jon's father back into action as Superman, and Jon is taken along for the experience. After ''ComicBook/SupermanReborn'' merged the histories of the pre-Flashpoint and New 52 versions of Superman and Lois Lane, his history has been slightly altered -- he's never gone by Jonathan White, and was born in the mainstream DCU. Instead of living a sheltered life with his parents, all of Clark and Lois' friends, civilian and superhero, know of his existence.

As part of the ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' line, Jon features in ''Comicbook/SupermanRebirth'' regularly along with his parents and in ''ComicBook/SuperSons'' alongside Bruce Wayne's son and current Robin, Damian Wayne. He is also central to a crossover between ''Super Sons'', ''Superman'' and ''ComicBook/TeenTitansRebirth'' titled ''The Super Sons of Tomorrow''. Following his PlotRelevantAgeUp, he appeared in the ''Rebirth'' incarnation of ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes''. As a part of DC's newest relaunch initiative ComicBook/DCInfiniteFrontier, Jon headlines his own on-going title ''ComicBook/SupermanSonOfKalEl'' where Jon officially takes up the mantle of his father as the second Man of Steel.

** During ''Comicbook/DarkNightsMetal'', Lois locks Jon in a special safe room designed to be nigh-impenetrable to even Kryptonians in order to save him from the Doomsday Virus that was infecting her and the rest of Metropolis as well as the other members of the Super-Family like Supergirl and Superwoman. As a result, he's absent for almost the entire event.

Added DiffLines:

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: After Jon's age-up, he bares some striking similarities to ComicBook/{{Invincible}}, though, with a ''much'' better father.

Added DiffLines:

* DependingOnTheArtist: Since returning as a teenager and continuing into his time as Superman, how old Jon actually ''looks'' shifts wildly from artist to artist and depending on what a writer wants to do with him. Sometimes he looks like he's 16, close in age to Damian. Other times, he looks college-aged. And still other times, he looks to be Dick Grayson's age (early-mid 20s). This even extends to covers ''for the same issue'', where variant covers can cover the entire range of ages he's been drawn as.

Added DiffLines:

* AffirmativeActionLegacy: ''ComicBook/SupermanSonOfKalEl'' reveals that he's bisexual in contrast to his father's heterosexuality.
