X-ray vision. He can see all the boobies he wants to. I'd imagine that he mostly got it all out of his system as a teen.

Also, it's not hard to resist a blatant setup like that if you know it's coming. Clark knows who Cat Grant is.

Depending on the particular cannon, in some of them the supervision is active at all times. That his senses just let him see all the layers and through all the layers.

So it's not just that he CAN see all of them all the time. He doesn't even have a choice. It would mean nudity to any degree was extremely unremarkable to the man.

also i'm not gonna be aroused in seeing someone naked if i can see that same person without skin or muscle at the same time

That argument doesn't make sense to me. If you were used to seeing people's bones your whole life, then bones would be part of your model of an attractive woman.

"Nice femurs"

And you could see deformities and cancer way early.

Sounds like a disastrous life

This argument breaks down as soon as you consider that we see clothed people all the time and yet some of them are still attractive.

Swait superman has xray vision? So he could give someone cancer just by looking at them? "If looks could kill..."

I remember reading a comic as a kid that explained the X-ray vision thing was a bit of a misnomer. The context was that he was going to use it on a pregnant lady in labor, and wanted her consent before he did so and stated the vision wouldn't affect the baby due to some technobable.

Superman does have a look that can kill. His heat vision.

Well yeah, but giving a cancer to a enemy is way funnier

I always interpreted it more like he could see in a wide range of the light spectrum and so could just see whatever was already being emitted. Like our eyes but better.

That said, he does have the ability to send out rays from his eyes too so maybe it's more like radar? Not that it needs to make sense anyways....

Just because he can see X-rays (or other radiation) doesn't mean his eyes emit the X-rays.
