Summary
Born to the greatest hero on Earth, Jonathan Lane Kent is the son of Superman and Lois Lane. However, an illness struck him and the boy was seemingly killed. Time traveler Harvest did know what was wrong with the kid and knew it was only temporary. It was a natural side effect of his mixed genes. He took the boy's body and cured him of his ailments with advanced future medical technology. Harvest raised him as his own, and used him as an instrument in his ongoing battle against "metas". With hate and violence, he created a perfect soldier. With his power to feed off metahuman powers, Jon was the perfect soldier and in the original timeline of New 52, he succeeded in killing almost all metahumans on Earth.
While he might be evil, he is not all bad. Despite his hatred for metas and what they bring to the table, Jon is a good person at heart and would never kill ordinary people.[1]
