When asked about my superpower I wish I had, I answer, with a little perversion, the power to see through clothes.
Now, I'm looking for a word that describes "see-through clothes" in one word, coupled with vision. X-Ray vision isn't exactly the same thing; to me it implies seeing through to the bone (hence X-Ray).
Is there a word that can aptly describe this superpower? I looked for word synonyms of see-through, like transparent, or crystalline, but "transparent vision" or "crystalline vision" doesn't really sound close to what I'm trying to say.

Penetrative vision, from penetrate: to see through
It is not substantially different than X-ray vision, which is also penetrative. The idea of selective penetrability has always existed in "Xray vision": to see a gun under a coat, or a room behind a wall; one can see what one desires to see.
