Don't know for sure, but this will give you some clues: http://superman.nu/wiki/index.php/Superman#X-Ray_Vision_and_the_Other_Optical_Powers Title: Re: X-Ray Vision Post by: MBE on March 02, 2007, 12:06:38 AM I actually read this and think it is a very good article. I posted my question here ibecause it is the only power it is vauge on.
Title: Re: X-Ray Vision Post by: Uncle Mxy on March 03, 2007, 10:38:32 AM It was fairly early on. Accidentally looking at the eyechart in the next room was the excuse for him to not go into WWII. The Fleischer/Famous-era cartoons had X-Ray Vision in one or two of them, and the beginning credits reflected that.

Title: Re: X-Ray Vision Post by: crispy snax on April 05, 2007, 09:01:32 PM i just brought superman chronicles 2 (all superman stories in chornlogical order! it claims) and in action comics 18 superman first uses his x ray vision and (super sensitive hearing) to listen in on some crooks, so thats pretty early on (november 1939). it comes across as a plot device really, superman spontaneiously uses a power he has never been shown to have before, just to fill in a few frames... still it was the 30s so whos complaining?
