I think that was more or less Jor El trying to see if he had it in him to save people without some abilities. Yeah, it would be nice to hear thoughts and use it as an advantage but it would suck really bad if you were to lose it especially when you needed it.

They did that mind-reading thing in the Lois and Clark and the Adventures of Superman show in the '90s - except only Kryptonians could read each other's minds. It was interesting that it was limited to Clark and Lois for a bit. That was just a completely silly episode. The show is better this season, but it's really getting ridiculous. Yeah, it's been ridiculous for a while, but now it's lost all common sense.

i know he looses it. i was just wondering where they got that idea. i agree with salawag it was ridiculous. i would prefer something else he could test him with like flight or freeze breath. i don't think he has that yet. it's hard to remember. he just uses strength and speed constantly.

well, supes is from a farm. he's probably conservative (a real conservative - not the kind that are over-indulgent political assholes and claim to be conservative). that's probably why he only uses a few powers. probably a kryptonian tax on power usage set by the WB company. "don't use all your powers you've developed over the last eight seasons - we only have the budget for two an episode!"

He learned that in season 6 and 8 Super breath and Freeze breath. He has used them a hand full of times.

Yes it was temporary, so he could learn how Humans really think and not to judge solely on ones actions.
