Allies

  • Superman Ally's passive ability Kryptonian Channeling grants bonuses for channeled abilities, Heat Vision included (level 6 required):
  • Channeled abilities are no longer vulnerable to interrupt
  • Increased resistance to control effects
  • Increased Defense and Toughness
  • Kryptonian Channeling does not stack with the Empowered Channeling mod, but grants +10% Defense and Toughness, plus 25% control resistance when in level 10 – which makes the mod dispensable.

Trivia

  • Doomsday's Heat Vision in The Death of Superman is named Focused Blast in combat messages.
  • Ultraman's Heat Vision is named Ultra Vision when fought as a bounty in Earth 3 Gotham and Ultra Beam when fought in Earth 3 Panopticon. The description of I Beam You refers to it as heat vision, but the combat message would simply refer it to "Something", which is a generic placeholder that occurs for a number of unidentified damage sources.
  • Due to conventional razors and blades being unable to cut his hair, Superman uses his Heat Vision to shave by reflecting it off of a mirror onto his face.
