Aaah his baby clone. Okay so Kal had conflicting feelings about Kon since day 1, what with him being made to be his replacement when he died and what not. He really didn’t handle it the best way possible and he knows it, but eventually accepting him in Smallville and the Lex stuff and having him die and come back… I brought home how much he appreciated the kid, like he was his little brother or his son.
And actually that’s the problem! Kal has a big issue seeing himself as the ‘father’, the only time he did that was for Chris and he was a really tiny kid that needed him. He sees Kon now and he’s like ‘wtf am I supposed to do with this kid he can’t be my kid I am not ready to be a father aaah’ and we have a freak out.
BUT if he thinks of him as a little brother or a cousin then it works out better, because then the overprotective instincts kick in and he wants to protect him from everything and do whatever it’s in his hands to help out. He’s as overprotective as he is with Kara and that’s saying a lot, and even more because Kon is only half-Kryptonian and that’s super fragile in Kal’s brain okok.
