The power to see through solid objects or people with one’s eyes.
Also Called
- Penetration Vision
- Transparent Vision
Capability
The user’s eyes emit a ray frequency that enables for a transparency effect (i.e. x-ray) to visually penetrate solid objects or even see within objects. Can be used for peeping medical motives, to perceive cancers, tumors, or even blackened lungs the basic human eye perception cannot normaly percieve. The skill of percieving a specific location (i.e. artery) is given by partial reflection of the ray from each specific surface surveyed. The direction of incoming light allows for a positioned focus on the depth of a viewing surface.
Limitations
- surfaces.
- Looking through more than one wall would be nearly impossible.
- Users may be considered perverse.
Universe Differences

Applications

- See through organic matter, allowing them to survey a person who could be injuried or sick.
- Trace nerves and bodily function activities.
- Allows to pinpoint physical weaknesses.
