Angus Macfadyen: Jor-El

Quotes 

• Jor-El : And you're certain he's displayed abilities?

  Clark Kent : Absolutely, sir. Why?

  Jor-El : The photo-nucleic effect appears to be insignificant.

  Clark Kent : Insignificant? How can that be?

  Jor-El : His cells can only store minimum amounts of energy from the Sun.

  Clark Kent : But he's released an ocular blast.

  Jor-El : Only once, and he since then has been unable to repeat it.

  Clark Kent : He has elevated strength.

  Jor-El : For his size, perhaps, but nothing extraordinary. He doesn't even have 1/100th your strength.

  Clark Kent : Test him again.

  Jor-El : There is no reason to do so. These have been random occurrences. He'll never have enough power to produce these abilities on command. His human DNA is just too limiting. I know you wished for this, but he will never be like you, Kal-El.

• Clark Kent : [showing Jordan the history of Krypton]  It's a lot to absorb, I know.

  Jordan Kent : How'd you know to do this when you came here?

  Clark Kent : My father showed me. Well, the AI of my Kryptonian father. Jordan, this is your grandfather, the man you're named after, Jor-El.

  Jor-El : You brought your son to me. Why?

  Clark Kent : Because unlike we thought, Father, he's manifesting abilities.

  Jor-El : Well, then... it is possible for us to further our Kryptonian heritage after all. And you, Jordan, you will be the one to do it.
