One of Jason's brutalities is his X-ray brutality and yeah it can only be done by sweep distance or further because he has to walk for it to work. So far the known brutalities with an X-ray is Jason and Sonya. They may add some more as DLC in the future.
So I just saw Mustard do Sonya's brutality with imposter Shinnok. Awesome! I wonder if that is the only one or if there are others he can do. Here is the link if anyone is interested, it is at about 8:15:
