Evolved Ability

Although he can switch off his ability and see normally, Flint has the basic equivalent of x-ray vision. Kind of like how people used to believe that the eyes produced the light they see by, his eyes emit radiation that they then translate into moving bluish-black and white images.

The degree to which he can see through things is controlled through the focus and intensity of the radiation he puts off. He can stop short at seeing through a person's clothes, or he can strip them down to walking sacks of organs or skeletons - something that he does with such regularity that he can often recognize people from their bones alone. He can see through walls with relative ease regardless of what they're made of, but the more that there is going on in a given area, the harder it is to focus on something specific. That is, while spying on activity the room next door is relatively simple for him, if he tried to look through two consecutive walls, the goings on behind them would too confused and obscured by the overlap for him to make out anything more than possible movement. Distance is also a factor. More often than not, the ability is active, and he frequently uses it to check people for weapons and other suspicious items on their person.

When in x-ray mode, he does not register visible light, or the absence of it. He can still see with perfect clarity when blindfolded or in pitch black darkness, and would not notice if someone were to shine a bright light in his eyes. His pupils expand and contract in tandem with his level of focus, rather than reacting to visible light (unless the ability is inactive, in which case they react normally) which has the potential to give the wrong impression, should someone be paying attention and notice that he looks completely drugged out or even blind because his pupils are dilated and apparently unfocused in a well-lit room.

As a side effect, when the ability is active, his irises put off a pale blue glow. In daylight it is difficult to detect save for the fact that it washes some of the natural color out of his eyes, but in dim or dark lighting conditions, it is much more notable.

In addition to enhanced vision, he has a mild natural resistance to ionizing radiation that would otherwise be a persistent threat to his health.
