Powers
- Kryptonian-Human Hybrid Physiology: Jordan inherited all of his father's powers and abilities. These powers activated for the first time when Jordan shielded Jonathan from falling metal rods and got away without a scratch. He later activated his heat Vision that later allowed Tag Harris gain powers with the combined effort of X Kryptonite. However, his brother Jonathan did not. When under the effect of a yellow sun Jordan has the following powers and abilities. When Zeta-Rho was in control of Jordan's body, he was able to activate Jordan's full potential, and granting him complete Kryptonian powers when exposed to a yellow sun. Jordan's mother, uncle and grandfather have noticed how much potential Jordan has, with Sam considering him to be the most powerful person in the entire universe, alongside Clark.

Weaknesses
- Kryptonite: Kryptonite is a radioactive rock that was originally pieces of Jordan's ancestral home world of Krypton. They crashlanded on Earth in the form of meteorites. Jordan will be affected by the Kryptonite similar to his father. However, being part human, it might take longer for the Kryptonite to fully take effect. Depending on the color:
- Green kryptonite: Prolonged exposure could hurt him or worse, kill him. The only way to extract kryptonite is if it is burned out their system
- Red Kryptonite:
- Red solar energy: Jordan will be completely powerless if under the effects of a red Sun or a red solar cell
Former Weaknesses
- Mixed DNA: According to the AI of Jor-El, Jordan's human DNA prevent him from absorbing enough solar energy to utilize his abilities, counting the heat vision as a one time occurrence. However, this was found to be incorrect.

Trivia
- Jordan was born before Jonathan[2]. This is somewhat ironic because Jonathan is more protective of his brother and acted with some seniority. It could also be the reason why Jordan has powers and Jonathan doesn't.
