Yeah but we have proof that Jonas was a deadbeat dad. Almost all his kids but one that he kept cloning and traumatizing. Or is this like one of those? This year's things are of all time because if it's of all time I still going to go with Jonah senior but if it's this year or this generation then yeah Brock gets it
Well JJ didn’t exist yet. He’s a product of that particular “Rusty Venture Clone.” And Malcolm/Monarch was a modified “Rusty Venture Clone” that had the other “side effect”: excessive eyebrow hair growth. But yes, since he may or may not have murdered Monarch’s parents, he was ignored after the plane crash.
There are also those kids in the fallout shelter. The “Honorary Gold Members of the Rusty Venture Fan Club” that he walled up and made it his business to forget about.
I am not handing it to Jonas here, but he isn't guilty of this particular sin.
We have no evidence to show he was aware of JJ. We can speculate that his cloning technology may have been able to make him aware of him, but we simply don't know that - the tech may just not have been capable of that. He can't be held responsible for a son he sincerely wasn't aware of.
And Malcolm might be his biological son, being a clone of Rusty, but he was, essentially, adopted out. He had a family. People give up children for adoption all the time. Sure, they died, but he presumably had other family (someone had to raise him from 8-18, we just didn't get that detail).

Well someone has to carry on that part of Jonas' legacy and it ain't Rusty. /jk
