Kara Zor-L stepped in, her footsteps echoing within the enclosed space. She began to use her X-ray vision on the structure, peering within its walls to see if she could detect the glowing, green, deadly mineral, or an enclosure of lead which would block her vision and probably indicate Kryptonite's presence.
But she felt it was time to breach etiquette and turn her X-ray vision on Buffy’s valise. Linda gave it a casual glance.
She couldn’t stop her eyes from widening when she did.
Buffy caught it. "Something wrong, Linda?"
Linda Danvers struggled to maintain her composure. "Oh, nothing. Nothing, Buffy. Just must’ve been some indigestion from dinner. You sure that you want me to leave you?"
[...]
"You, too." Linda went to the elevator and got in. She’d have to make a show of things, but there was no way she was leaving the area. Super-vision could help her keep track of Buffy Summers, even 108 stories up, even through stone and steel.
Anybody who carried wooden stakes, silver crucifixes, garlic, and a fifth of unusual water in her valise wasn’t an Outfit bagwoman. But she’d still bear watching.

Stepping into the Common Room, Katherine spied no one. An ominous sign, she thought, but stilled her unease quickly. There was enough to fret over without inventing things, that was certain. She thought to peer about with her x-ray vision, but then reconsidered. More than once, as a young girl learning to use her burgeoning powers, she had found the results of such uninvited intrusion to be—well—highly embarrassing. One of the things that she and her invalid brother Zor could still yet smile and joke about was her inadvertent pubescent sight of his first urgent, fumbling kiss with an equally awkward partner. He kept bumping Marisa's nose and she kept giggling.
How did one use x-ray vision? Did you have to squint, or call out a secret word mentally?
Almost at the thought of it, he began seeing steel girders in frameworks, people in the rooms in front of him at various activities, a maid vacuuming a rug.

A quick scan with X-Ray vision reveals this thing doesn't even have a brain. It's operating on instinct only. An eating machine.
"I can't just look at the skin below the clothes. I can't just peel away layers like that. It's a focus depth thing. And people just look red on the interior. Icky red and other nasty colours. Watching blood circulate isn't fun, it's horrific."

Before she got in, she walked barefoot into her bedroom, where a framed photo of the Danverses reposed on a bedside table.
She used her X-ray vision to see the picture of Zor-El and Allura behind it.

Finally, she decided that, even though she had come to this place in order to test her strength, she wanted to test how well her new X-ray vision worked first.
Walking up to a random car's remains, Asuka focused, and the thing's outer shell immediately became transparent to her eyes, allowing her to view the engine and all the other assorted innards of the automobile. Focusing on the engine, she looked harder, and found that the exterior of that peeled away before her gaze as well, allowing her to see the components within.

"So, how many times have you peeked into the girls' locker room?"
"Now... Where is my pod? Try to relax... feel that tingling behind my eyes... peel back the layers. See past it all. See inside... There."
