X-ray vision is horrible for cancer rates (though one could argue that, since it doesn’t work like normal x-ray in many comics, that it’s some other magic with the name x-ray for convenience).
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
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.
They touched on that a little bit in Superman Redson, Lex tried to make a Superman clone and its x-ray vision did all the horrible things of an actual x-ray. It was a super short bit, but I found it neat.

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.

I mean that’s kinda what lasers do…… but also interesting
Pretty sure xray vision can just see the xray band of the electromagnetic spectrum
I think superman can probably see the entire or a larger range than humans and can consciously filter it
