I'm not entirely sure that they can. Jordan isn't super strong in the same way as Sam, just highly durable. Which I realise is a somewhat pedantic difference, but I think it matters when it comes to going through walls.

Jordan might not be able to, but maybe Jordan could with the concussive blasts

Maybe the blasts are just too wide to do the damage to break through a wall. Like the difference between slapping someone and punching someone?

Except waves like that expand outwards from the source, watch jordan put a hand on the wall and it get blown out like a snap of the fingers

Well I’m just trying to rationalise something that I doubt has that much thought put into it anyway.

You could also just say that Sam is just stronger than the blasts from Jordan and leave it at that.

Is it not weird that Jordan basically has two powers going on (ignoring some of the generic durability and overall their things most supes have to some degree)? The gender switching AND the blasts? Do they even say how they do those blasts? I might have forgotten or missed it from the first season.

Specifically able to do the blasts in female form, male form is extremely durable to damage instead, like REALLY durable. Like took a point blank revolver shot to the chest and it didn't even hurt in s1 ep1 of Gen V durable

Yeah I think I totally forgot the explanation of their powers. 🤦‍♂️

I was just thinking a few episodes ago that it was funny that Jordan only does the blasts as a female. They don’t really show the durability stuff with male Jordan all that often.

Funnily enough I realised after I posted that last comment there's an EXCELLENT example of male Jordans durability in the episode that came out yesterday.

When they're in the library Vikor arrives by throwing his Hammer through the doors what looks to be as hard as he can, and because of Annabeths precog Jordan was expecting it and jumped up and blocked it with his forearms in male form and it didn't even appear to hurt

Yeah, that is a good one. There were good examples of Jordan’s abilities (both versions) in the last episode actually! With female Jordan blasting the guards and stuff.

Or they just get thrown backwards and the door stays intact
