True Sight

True Sight is the ability to perceive an object in its true form, bypassing all means of concealment or disguise. This ability may be utilized as a super-power by an individual, or it may be an application of some form of technological device, usually a visual aide of some kind.

In the 1988 film They Live, a drifter named Nada acquired a pair of special sunglasses. While wearing them, he could perceive alien invaders in their true forms, even though they were assuming a human guise.

The Marvel Comics character Delroy Garrett, Jr., who was the successor to Charles Chandler - the original 3-D Man, wore a special pair of goggles with yellow lenses. For a time, he erroneously believed that these goggles enabled him to see shape-shifting alien Skrulls in their true form.

The WildStorm Productions character Priscilla Kitaen, aka Voodoo, was a Daemonite/Kherubim/Human hybrid, which afforded her special powers. Through psychic flashes, Voodoo could see a Daemonite in their true form, even though they were in the midst of possessing a human host.

The Action Lab Comics character Katie Carva, has a mild form of True Sight. When she invokes the power of the Vampblades, she can perceive the otherwise invisible vampiric space entities known as Glarkians as they are possessing human hosts.
