X-ray vision is the ability to see through objects, beings, and structures.

Characters who have displayed x-ray visionEdit

• Clark Kent - This ability first manifested in X-Ray. Clark can see through any type of matter ranging in objects, people, and animals but he can't see through lead. Clark can also see through things in color as well. (Leech, Kinetic, Red, Rush, Hex, Warrior, Finale, Part 2) It is implied by Lois that Clark can use this ability while he is moving at superhuman speeds. (Masquerade)
• Kara Kent - Kara can see through any type of matter except for lead. (Fierce)

Powers and AbilitiesEdit

Kryptonians can see through any type of matter like clothes, bricks, motar, metal and even through a being's inner skeleton structure complexion but not through lead. It appears like Kryptonians can only use the X-ray aspect while it is first developing, and can later use it without it. ^[1]

The ability appears to require active concentration.^[2]

In The ComicsEdit

Superman's vast senses grant him the ability to see through solid objects, usually with the exception of lead. Explanations for how this power works vary, but rarely include the emission and perception of actual X-Rays, as such high-energy radiation would actually be dangerous to living things he uses it on. A more common theory involves being able to see and concentrate on the patterns of natural cosmic radiation as it reverberates off objects.

NotesEdit

• With the exception of X-ray, the color aspect of Clark's x-ray vision has never been seen, though it has been implied. (Red)
