The Superior General of the Society of Jesus is invested with 'ordinary' power over the members of the society, similar to the power given to a bishop over the people of a diocese. Superiors General submit themselves to the direct authority of and service to the Pope, not local ordinaries.

In terms canon authority, then, the Superior General would be 'second-in-command'.
