Source/Explanation
Donna Dunlap explicitly calls it Telescopic Vision.

Name

Let's Snow this. Donna says "Now I've never fired a gun before, but apparently, Telescopic Vision? Very Helpful. --  Seclusion  talk / contribs 05:46, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

• It's always nice of the writers to give us a name, no? :D --NellaBishop 06:29, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
  • As much as I like the name, I think she was refering to one aspect of her power. Perhaps Enhanced Vision would be more precise, since she can both see in the dark and from great distances.--Piemanmoo 06:50, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
  • She called it Telescopic Vision; We call it Telescopic vision. It doesn't really matter what the power specifics are. --  Seclusion  talk / contribs 06:52, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
    • Why can't she just have Night Vision and Telescopic Vision, since as far as I know telescopic vision doesn't encompass the ability to see in the dark (and people can have more than one ability at a time). The way I read it, she was only referring to the abily to see great distances. It's almost like if she would shoot beams of heat through her eyes and say (Hmm, heat vision, what an awesome yet destructive power) but it would have nothing to do with her being able to see in the dark. What I'm saying is perhaps we need two power articles. One for telescopic vision and one for Night Vision. Because there might be someone who can only see in the dark, and yet it would seem to be telescopic vision the way it is now. It might just be one general power that includes all powers of vision but still I'd rather have Night Vision have it's own article than be merged with another power. --Dman dustin 07:15, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

Image

We need another image of this power - the one we have up currently is actually of Blake/Thompson looking at Donna through his night vision binoculars. --Ciwey 07:00, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

• Passive powers are quite hard to get an image of; Her eyes are glowing in this one, which is probably as close to her "using" her power as you are going to get. --  Seclusion  talk / contribs 07:21, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
