    Well, I always figured that “x ray vision” was just eyes that were super sensitive to the natural background radiation everywhere, and not that they were actually transmitting x rays

      I’m also not sure if transmitting x-rays would work

      It’s not like radar, you’d need to also be on the other side to collect the data after it passed through the object

        That depends on whether the x-rays are absorbed by the bone/solid material or reflected.

        I don’t know enough about x-rays to answer that.

      As a counterpoint, combining Cyclops’s power with x-ray vision is a fun power combination, and it’s an interesting take to imagine his power as just cooking everything with radiation.
