We present the results from an Hubble Space Telescope/ACS search forsupernovae associated with X-ray flashes 020903, 040701, 040812 and 040916. Wefind strong evidence that XRF 020903 (z=0.25) was associated with a SN1998bw-like supernova and confirm this using optical spectroscopy at t ~ 25days. We find no evidence, however, for SN 1998bw-like supernovae associatedwith the other three events. In the case of XRF 040701 (z=0.21), we rule outeven a faint supernova similar to SN 2002ap, using template light-curves forseveral local Type Ic supernovae. For the two cases in which the redshift isnot known, XRFs 040812 and 040916, we derive robust redshift limits assumingthey were accompanied by supernovae similar to SN 1998bw and compare theselimits with photometric redshift constraints provided by their host galaxies.We supplement this analysis with results for three additional events (XRFs011030, 020427 and 030723) and discuss the observed diversity of supernovaeassociated with X-ray flashes and gamma-ray bursts. We conclude that XRF-SNeexist, but can be significantly fainter than SN 1998bw, possibly consistentwith the observed spread in local Type Ibc supernovae.
