We explore the expected X-ray (0.5-2 keV) signatures from supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at high redshifts ( ) assuming various models for their seeding mechanism and evolution. Seeding models are approximated through deviations from the relation observed in the local universe, while N-body simulations of the large-scale structure are used to estimate the density of observable SMBHs. We focus on two seeding model families: (i) light seed BHs from remnants of Pop-III stars and (ii) heavy seeds from the direct collapse of gas clouds. We investigate several models for the accretion history, such as sub-Eddington accretion, slim disk models, and torque-limited growth models. We consider observations with two instruments: (i) the Chandra X-ray Observatory and (ii) the proposed Lynx. We find that all of the simulated models are in agreement with the current results from the Chandra Deep Field South, i.e., consistent with zero SMBHs in the field of view. In deep Lynx exposures, the number of observed objects is expected to become statistically significant. We demonstrate the capability to limit the phase space of plausible scenarios of the birth and evolution of SMBHs by performing deep observations at a flux limit of . Finally, we show that our models are in agreement with current limits on the cosmic X-ray background (CXRB) and the expected contribution from unresolved quasars. We find that an analysis of CXRB contributions down to the Lynx confusion limit yields valuable information that can help identify the correct scenario for the birth and evolution of SMBHs.
