Swait superman has xray vision? So he could give someone cancer just by looking at them? "If looks could kill..."
I remember reading a comic as a kid that explained the X-ray vision thing was a bit of a misnomer. The context was that he was going to use it on a pregnant lady in labor, and wanted her consent before he did so and stated the vision wouldn't affect the baby due to some technobable.
Superman does have a look that can kill. His heat vision.
Well yeah, but giving a cancer to a enemy is way funnier
I always interpreted it more like he could see in a wide range of the light spectrum and so could just see whatever was already being emitted. Like our eyes but better.
That said, he does have the ability to send out rays from his eyes too so maybe it's more like radar? Not that it needs to make sense anyways....
Just because he can see X-rays (or other radiation) doesn't mean his eyes emit the X-rays.
