10 Jokes In Old Superhero Movies They Wouldn't Get Away With Now

9. Super-Creepy X-Ray Vision

The Mask
Warner Bros.

Which of Superman's powers would you want, given the opportunity? Maybe the power of flight, or invulnerability, or super-speed, or heat vision? Leaping tall buildings in a single bound, or crushing coal into a diamond with your immense strength, perhaps?

Well, in Superman Returns, we know what power Lois Lane's rebound guy Richard White wants: X-ray vision. And for less than noble purposes. The man himself states, "I love that he can see through anything. I'd have fun with that."

Clearly we're not supposed to like Richard, given Lois and Superman's past, but making him an out-and-out lecherous goon seemed like a step too far.
