Mike
The ten year old Asian boy was very curious as to how the world operated. He would always ask his parents questions in the hope of enriching his mind with new and interesting information, but after a while they got sick of the prolonged questioning phase. Eventually the only answers he would receive were "Not right now Mike" or "Why don't you go entertain yourself some other way?"
In retrospect he thinks this treatment is the reason for many of his most enduring traits. First off his silence, a child can only be told to be quiet for so many times before they stop talking all together. Secondly when he was told to entertain himself he would go off to his room to dance to some of his favorite music. The treatment he received from his parents was instrumental in his eventual ability to dance so adeptly. The final thing that, he thought, was a result of his parent's dismissive attitude was his power. He believed that his x-ray vision was a direct result of his desire to satiate his curiosity about the way things work.
His ability started off quite simply, with a question to his mother during a routine trip to the grocery store. "Mom, why does blood flow?"
She looked down at him for a second to answer "Oh Mike, it's not the time for this, ask again later." He knew when he asked again later he would just get the same answer. He was so sick of that answer. If he wanted an, "ask again later" he could've just consulted an 8-ball.
Then as he began to sulk something amazing happened. As Mike looked up from the floor he was able to see the insides of every person around him. He saw some anatomy that seemed commonplace to him such as veins and bones as well as some entrails he really wished that he couldn't. For example the intestines of that fat man with irritable bowel syndrome who was appropriately looking at Imodium boxes. Mike looked away from him pretty quickly. When he turned to look at a woman across the aisle and discovered some parts of the female anatomy that he hadn't wished to learn about until later in life, he quickly diverted his attention to the floor. He noted there was a copious amount of piping in the basement.
Whilst wondering what in the hell was happening to him Mike realized that while he had been looking at the people around him he had received the answer to his question. It was the heart and the valves within it that caused the blood to flow throughout the body. The young Asian boy smiled happily to himself. Once he learned how to control this he would never have to ask anyone a question ever again.
As Mike grew older people including his parents began to notice that he didn't speak very much, if at all. The reason for this? Mike could find out anything and everything he wanted to without speaking. He made an effort to be scrupulous with his power once he learned how to control it, however he would be lying if he said that he never used it to cheat on a test or that he didn't accidently end up seeing through a girls top every once and a while. Mike didn't know if there was anyone else out there who was like him but he knew he could take comfort in the fact that he would be able to do anything he set his mind to. His particular persuasion, besides dancing, was medicine. He was a man with a power and he was going to use it right.
