word of advice : Spoilers for Wonder Woman # 10
Summary
Jonathan Kent , Superman’sson , is almost a carbon copy of his father . He ’s so much like his beginner that his friend , Batman ’s son Damian Wayne , has a possibility that Jon is n’t actually Lois and Clark ’s biological son , but is a dead ringer from a clip when Clark Kent had a strange , isolated power : the ability to shoot a miniature Superman out of his finger .
In 1958’sSuperman#125 by Jerry Coleman , Wayne Boring , and Stan Kaye , “ Superman ’s New Power ” finds Superman inquire a small , unfamiliar starship , and reach it almoststrikes him like Kryptonite . While his body is still near invulnerable , he can no longer fly , hit firmly , or apply warmth or hug drug - shaft vision . However , his hands and fingers keep shine and tingling , and pointing them at malefactor still scares them enough to deliver .
The discovery is that his tycoon seem to have been transferred - toa tiny Superman who is shot out of the real Superman ’s fingers . This lilliputian duplicate is identical to Clark and has all the original Superman ’s king , using them to take down the baddies .
Superman ’s newest adversary actually deserves the honor of down the Man of Steel , unlike Doomsday , who was overrated from the very beginning .
Superman’s Weirdest “Mini-Superman” Power Is Officially DCU Canon
“World’s Finest Part 7” by Tom King, Belén Ortega, Tamra Bonvillain, and Clayton Cowles
Damian Wayne hasa theory : Jon Kent is actually one of Superman ’s old " fingerman " clone . Damian and Jon ’s relationship is one of friendly antagonism , especially in this back - up account by Tom King and Belén Ortega fromWonder Woman#10 . As the sons of Batman and Superman , they ’re growing up together under their fathers ' shadows and will likely spend their adulthood together . In these " World ’s Finest " stories , Damian loves taunt Jon about what the “ S ” on the Superman suit stands for , and some of his cockamamy superpower ( in this way out , calling freeze breath “ moth-eaten breath , ” though “ freeze breather ” is already a little bit empty-headed ) .
The first " World ’s Finest " installment by King and Ortega fromWonder Woman#3 was put forward for a 2024 Eisner for Best Short Story !
During this tease , Damian brings up the time that Superman shot these miniature clones out of his hands , which does seem to be the one metre that Jon feels diss . That Damian fuck about this vague tycoon suggests thatthis singular Golden Age story is canon , andBatman tell apart his Word about it(possibly one of the few times Batman had a right gag ) . Clark may have also tell his own Word about it , if one ofJon ’s developing Superman powerswould be shooting his own tiny clon from his fingers . Thus far , it seems he has n’t had to deal with it .
What If Superman Jonathan Kent Really Is a “Fingerman”?
Superman’s Powers Remain Mysterious
With that in mind , it ’s not outside the realm of possibility that Damian ’s theory is genuine . The original tiny clones come about during a prison term when Superman did n’t have his powers . Jon is oft seen have on his Superman case , ready to redeem citizen in danger at any second . It ’s possible that he ’s already so well - trained becausethe original Superman is losing his own powers(as he was before the recentWarworld Saga ) , and Jon will have to become the one and only Superman sometime presently . His parents would n’t want to burden Jon with the knowledge that he is a ringer and the reason his father can no longer be a zep .
This theory , of course , probably is n’t true . But given how sillythe original Superman storyis — and the cognition that it ’s canon in theWorld ’s Finesttimeline — it makes for a fun thought experiment . It ’s much more likely thatDamian Wayne knows how to push Jon Kent ’s buttons , and he knew that this abuse would really get to him . Young Lizzie Prince , girl of Wonder Woman , opine of the two like her older brothers , and they campaign like they ’re family every twenty-four hour period . Jon wo n’t be change his name to “ Fingerman , ” andSuperman’sweird power is n’t likely to make a comeback anytime soon .
