Well the thing is although AI like, he possesses those kryptonian crystals which hold vast amount of powers.
Jorel did warn Clark that "although u have great abilities, we are NOT gods"! So it may seem that way but hey in the original movie, Supes rewinds time for Lois, that's a comparatively godlike feat.

He took Clarks powers and placed them in Lionel for a time. There's an explanation for you.

He took them and placed them in Lionel's body. Giving Lionel his kryptonian powers, and Clark his humanness. It's a fair trade. Jor-el is not a god, simple using magic, or the crystals. Thats it.


Jor-el is not an A-I, he's a spirit who resides with in the Crystals. That's how he possessed Lionel, that's how he takes away clarks powers.

I seriously doubt he is a "spirit" in our usual sense of the term. I would say, since Krypton is an advanced society, the Jor-El we are privvy to is an advanced AI, stored in the crystals, which are like zip disks or floppies or CD-Rs or something. I know it's a horrible comparison, but it makes sense.
As for Lionel, he was possessed by Jor-El. That's how he got his powers. Information on the Kryptonian biological make-up could have been downloaded into Lionel's DNA when he had one of the elements (remember when it glowed like it did in Commencement, Season 4 finale?). That biological data may have been accessed when the Jor-El AI took over Lionel's vacant body and mind.
As for where Clark's powers went, just assume they were put in a crystal for safekeeping. That's why Jor-El/Lionel took him back to the Fortress. I mean, if Jor-El can turn back time and space itself, then he has the ability to store DNA on a crystal.
If that doesn't work for ya, just assume Clark's becoming mortal was just a plot device used by the writers. I know it's a stretch, but deal with it. lol

But intruth isn't a spirit just the essence of someone? You can't be an AI when you're not artificial to begin with. I understand what you're saying but I don't mean it's necessarily his soul, I mean it's his mind thats in the crystals,

Jor El is such a badass I just hope that Clark will finally realise that Jor El is actually a good guy... he ****ing gives Clark so many chances... he even lets him rewind time for cris'sakes

Yeah, over the course of the Series it's become a fixture for Clark to go and ask Jor-el for help. Jor-el gives, gives, gives but when he takes, he's labeled as the Devil.

But what about the whole "The last son will rule the third planet" angle? They talked about it for 4 out of the 5 seasons, that Clark would rule Earth. That's why Jor-El is so easy to be seen as cruel and evil, because everyone (audience and Clark) think that he sent his only son to conquer a planet.
I think, in regards to the "last son ruling 3rd planet" prophecy, it was either A.) A grave misinterpretation, or B.) Refers to Zod in some way. I guess either way it's a misinterpretation, but still.

Well, Clark himself even said he might be misreading it. I forget the exact lines but wasn't it like "I hope I'm reading this wrong but, I THINK it says..."

That right there ingrained a sense of hatred from Clark to Jor-el that just might have been unjustified.

Yeah. I mean, I know he wasn't sent there to rule. We all know that Krypton wasn't a war-like society, no matter how much Al Gough and the crew stray from canon. Jor-El wanted to save Krypton, but Zod and Braniac wouldn't allow it. And so it was that Krypton met it's end, but not before Jor-El got his only son off of the planet. At least that's how I see the explanation panning out in Smallville.

Yeah, I see some how Zod, and Brainiac being the cause in the demise of Krypton in the Smallville universe.
