x-ray vision
See-through perception
X-ray vision is the imagined ability to see through solid objects, as if one's eyes emitted X-rays that could penetrate walls, clothing, or flesh.
The power belongs to Superman and other fictional characters.
Figuratively, someone with x-ray vision perceives what others try to hide: She seemed to have x-ray vision for detecting lies.
