If you were Superman, would you get bored with your X-Ray vision after a while?
Or would you look through anything you could, whenever you could, and laugh at the other 99.9% of the poor bastards around you that lack X-ray vision?

DISCUSS.

1. I'd laugh at all the people I was giving cancer to.
Some of the people I work with would have some MASSIVE tumors by now.

2. I think that if I had the powers Superman had I would use them for decidedly evil purposes.
I think I'm the kind of person who would be a super villain. I think I'm too weak to wield that kind of power responsibly. Sure, I might do good at first, but after a while I would be too tempted and I'd probably turn to evil.

3. Never. And I'd love being Haruka's new neighbor.

8. Why am I not surprised that everyone posting in this thread is male?
And the not so shocking answer to your question is that I would love to have X-ray vision and wouldn't get bored with it at all

9. Heck no. I bet Kent never spent a buck in a strip joint!
Why would people on Krypton have X-Ray vision in the first place?

10. Nah, too useful.

I'd use my Cray vision to find trapped miners or to find targets for surgery. "I see the abscess right near the axillary nerve." I could be a walking diagnostic tool and tour some medical-deprived country diagnosis diseases.
