The best known figure with "x-ray vision" is Superman who once had a heat producing function before that power was separated as heat vision. You can see this heated x-ray vision used on the old George Reeves Adventures of Superman television program.
At least in the first Superman movie, Superman's X-ray vision could see through female character Lois Lane's clothing to see the color of her underwear. This implies it had nothing to do with actual X-rays, since color is a matter of spectral properties at optical frequencies.
In the movie Superman Returns, Superman uses the X-ray vision to see into the interior of Lois Lane's body in order to check for internal injuries.
