Jack didn't even leave the planet as a refugee. His ancestors left on a scientific exploration years ago, and they just never returned to the planet. Up until recently, they have all married within the colony. Unfortunately, this means that their numbers dwindled down so low that Jack and his parents were the last surviving full blooded Kryptonians on the planet.
Jack didn't even realise that his planet of origin had exploded, or that there was another Kryptonian who had crashed down to Earth while he was a child. By the time news about Superman had come out, he was already buried deep into his ghostly obsession and didn't pay any attention to the stories on the news.
Maddie had been told shortly after Jazz was born. They'd had so much trouble for so long in conceiving. The pregnancy was almost fatal on her, due to the baby being too strong for her body. and the doctors recommended no more children.
Jack and Maddie were heartbroken, of course, as they had planned for at least a boy and a girl, but they were also scientists! Around a year after Jazz was born, they figured out how to create a baby outside of the body in an artificial womb. They had had to mess with the embryo's genetics a bit in order to make the process viable, but thanks to some glowing green water they'd found in an underground lake they were successful.
Not only were they able to grow an entire child outside of Maddie's body, but the water provided several scientific breakthroughs in their research to get the Portal working. The downside was that their baby boy was constantly setting off their ecto sensors for the first few years of his life, but all genetic sequencing showed that he had a normal half-Kryptonian body.
The water wasn't ectoplasm, but it had a very similar molecular structure. They were able to distil the waters and mix it with grave dirt fresh from a zombie outbreak in order to theoretically power the initial start up sequence.
Kryptonian Jack Fenton and a reveal gone right. Jack, who already bodies walls and treats red lights as suggestions, is one of the first people to avoid when going in public in Amity Park. Any newcomer learns this lesson straight from the start. After Dru-Zod’s attack and the releasing of Kryptonian prisoners, Batman/Bruce builds a device that senses Kryptonian DNA anywhere on the planet. They track down all of the missing prisoners, but for some odd reason, they’re getting three more hits in Illinois. Clark decides to go with Diana disguised by civilians and they learn all about the Fenton family. They learn more than they bargain to when they personally witness Jack picking a car up and throwing it at a ghost, then using the remains of that car to plug up the fire hydrant that broke during the fight and had been spewing water everywhere. (That didn’t even remotely solve the problem) Danny, as a human, dodges a blast from the ghost and uses his superspeed to grab a thermos from their house and return within seconds to ‘soup’ the ghost. The entire town ignores the superhuman acts of the Fentons, squaring the actions away as normal Fenton bullshit.
