Smallville: Why we miss Jonathan Kent

 Print This Article |  Email This Article

Clark Kent’s adoptive father Jonathan Kent (played by John Schneider) was the father we all liked. He stuck to his morals, but was completely supportive of all his son’s endeavors. When he died it was a very sad day on the Kent farm.

“Look, Clark, I’m your father. I’m supposed to have all the answers. It kills me that I don’t, but you gotta have faith that we’ll figure this thing out together.” – Jonathan Kent

We knew he would die one day but we believed it would be much later in his life and possibly even something we wouldn’t see during the series. He was the Man of Steel’s true mentor and the one responsible for giving him his solid moral compass. We’ll miss Jonathan Kent, but we’ll never forget the strength of character he had. Without him there would be no Superman.

“As much as I loved my father, I… a part of me still resents him for needing me that much. I don’t want you to feel that. That’s not the kind of father I… I ever wanted to be.” – Jonathan Kent
