10 Best New Comic Book Characters Of The Decade

One of the absolute best things done with Superman in the past few decades was giving him a wife and kid. Not only because it made the Man of Steel seem more human and relatable , but also because it gave the world Jon Kent.

Jon is what you get when you take a golden retriever and copy its mannerisms onto a human child. He's pretty much his dad but in kid form, but unlike his best friend Damian Wayne, this results in a lovably goofy, earnest, loyal kid who just wants to help everyone he can. Sure he can have a short fuse at times, but what kid doesn't blow their gasket at some point, no matter how good they otherwise are?

It's just that when Jon loses control, being Kryptonian, it has - shall we say - higher consequences.

But that's why we love Jon so much. He's completely aware of his power, and tries to balance keeping it all under control, while also wanting to embrace who he is at the same time. He's a fascinating character that we definitely hope sticks around for the long haul.
