Jonathan Kent (Smallville)

However, there has been one account where he inherited temporary powers in order to rein in his son, Clark, who had been suffering from the negative effects of Red Kryptonite. Jonathan made a deal with Jor-El wherein the Kryptonian spirit bequeathed the power necessary to stop his son. By all accounts, it appears as if Jonathan developed all of the same superhuman abilities as Clark, however he only demonstrated the use of Superhuman strength, Superhuman durability and Super-speed. Presumably, he also acquired Clark's other powers such as Heat Vision and Flight, though Jonathan never used them. Jonathan and Clark fought one another, during which time he manipulated Clark into destroying the red Kryptonite ring responsible for his rash behavior. When the ring was destroyed, Jonathan’s powers disappeared. ^[1]
