  • In science fiction stories or superhero comics, X-ray vision is the ability to see through physical objects at the discretion of the holder of this superpower. The most famous possessor of this ability is DC Comics' iconic superhero character, Superman. Although called X-ray vision, this power has little to do with the actual effect of X-rays. Instead, it is usually presented as the ability to selectively see through certain objects as though they are invisible, translucent or not present, in order to see objects or surfaces beyond or deep to the affected object or material. Thus, Superman can see through walls to see the bad guys beyond, or see through Lois Lane's dress to determine the colour of her underwear. In such cases, the visions seen are generally in full color and three-dimensional. How such an effect might be created via x-rays is unexplained . As depicted, x-ray vision is actually more of a form of the supposed psychic ability of remote viewing.
