Matthew Cross is the father of Jordan Cross.
Early life[]
Matthew Cross became both a father and a widower on October 16, 1989. During the 1989 Meteor Shower, his pregnant wife suffered a direct hit and died shortly after the birth of their son, Jordan Cross. While the boy was a small child, Matthew discovered that Jordan possessed a metahuman ability. For Jordan's protection, Matthew sheltered him and home schooled him.
Season Three[]
In early 2004, Matthew let Jordan attend Smallville High School. However, when Jordan proved to have trouble on his first day, Matthew nearly pulled him out of school. In the end, Jordan remained at Smallville High, after losing his metahuman ability shortly afterwards.
