"I have eyes that can see, right through lead..."
― Metro Man (Megamind)

The power to see through practically everything. Variation of Visual Powers. Not to be confused with X-Ray Vision.

Also Called

  • Classical X-Ray Vision
  • Practically Vision

Capabilities

The user can see through practically anything, including smoke, stone, rock, wood, bone, metal, skin, water, walls, etc.

Unlike in X-Ray Vision where the user has to see x-radiation in order to see through almost everything in their field of vision, the user of Penetration Vision can see straight through all of that while only seeing in visible light, allowing them to still see color while penetrating whatever is in their point of view.

Applications

  • See-through any/all forms of solid objects.
  • See-through all forms of matter while in visible light and still see color.

Techniques

Association

Limitations

  • There may be things that the user probably would not wish to see with this power.
