Man of Steel vs. Shirt of Cotton
A lot of people think it would be cool to be Superman because he can use his x-ray vision to look through Lois Lane's clothes. But I don't think it's that easy. Lois' skin is pressed right up against her clothes. In order to see her birthday suit, Superman has to focus his x-ray vision far enough so that it penetrates the fabric but not so far that he's looking into the tissue and blood vessels under the skin. Which would be gross. And because Lois has curves, every part of her body has a different point of focus. It just seems like it would be really hard to do.
Now if Lois was taking a shower and Superman was in the next room, then it would work.
