the power choices... heat or x-ray vision?
For the next few of posts, I want to get people's input on some choices in superpowers. Don't worry if you don't see what you want, it might come up soon (and feel free to suggest). Just choose one of the two powers, and a reason why (if you feel like it).
First:
Heat vision or X-Ray vision?

X-Ray vision, hands down. The voyeur possibilities notwithstanding, it would be far more useful to me to be able to identify the source of a stuck door or jammed photocopier, or look to see what's in the fridge without opening the door, than it would be to warm up a cup of coffee or light a fire in the fireplace.
i don't buy the heat vision. x-ray vision might let you check out a girl's lacy underthings, which is nice for filling up the spank bank, but imagine how fucking suave it would be to light her cigarette for her simply by looking at it.
x-ray vision just lets you see the world, heat vision lets you change it. imagine how much i could contribute to global warming!
in reality, i think these are two of the lesser powers available.
I think heat vision is the practical way to go here.
Definitely, x-ray vision.
