Who invented heat vision?

Heat vision, often depicted in comic books and movies, is a fictional ability primarily associated with the character Superman, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in 1938. While the concept of seeing heat or infrared radiation is based on scientific principles, such as the use of infrared cameras, it is not an invention attributed to a single individual but rather a creative element in storytelling. The term and its associated powers have since been popularized in various media, leading to its widespread recognition.
