Having x-ray vision would really suck, unless you could turn it on or off at will, otherwise you're just seeing people's skeletons & even if you could see through clothes, I doubt you'd like to see everyone naked *cough* family members, amirite?

I don't get why everyone thinks x-ray vision makes you see people naked... Have you seen an x-ray before...?

Generally when people talk about x-ray vision, they mean it the way where you can see through anything you want. I mean people use the term gay to talk about homosexuals, but it really means happy. So a words definition changes as it is used and interpreted. Besides what would you call it? See through some stuff clearly and people's skeletons thingy machiger vision? HMMM?

Yeah, that's generally what x-rays and x-ray vision does. And your example is incorrect; the meaning of x-ray you're talking about is just a connotation. Gay, in the dictionary, can mean either happy or a homosexual. And why did I get downvoted for saying 'Yes'....?

Don't ask me, I didn't do it. Anyways, if you don't understand then I'll give you another example, people saying brother, doesn't mean they're siblings.

Again, brother is also in the dictionary as meaning 'a friend or comrade', not just a sibling.

If someone calls you champ, doesn't mean you're a champion

That's a nickname, not a connotation... Why are you still trying to prove this to me? I know what x-ray vision is, I just think it's stupid that people associate it with seeing random people naked rather than as a skeleton. End of story.

Meh, I didn't really like that article as much as I thought I would. Even though it applies, "rules of science" it's pretty sloppily done. For one thing having super powers != being a (super hero || super villain). You always have the option of being just a super person who uses your powers selfishly. Another thing is that it doesn't really take into account a super heroes ability to control their super powers. I'm not really sure if you want to hear my opinion on this, so I'll stop there.
