I think it would be sort of neat if a psychic character developed a nosebleed for no particular reason — just flew on a plane, something silly like that — and everyone assumed he was tinkering with their minds and got extremely irate.

“You fool! Do you think that I would get a nosebleed from tinkering with your puny mind?! Wait, that didn’t come out right…”

I think it’s meant to evoke stigmata. The only other psychic forehead bleed I’ve seen is in The Fifth Element, where Zorg gets one while talking (over the phone, yet) to the big evil
fireball. That would make it an evil stigmata, I suppose.

I love me some Weekend Moment of Psychic Nosebleed Zen! My nose used to bleed a lot when I was a child, from elementary to high school. It seemed to do this when it was hot outside or because I would run around too much without proper rest, I’m not sure. It doesn’t happen anymore. I wonder if I had budding Psychic abilities trying to manifest. Where was Xavier when I needed him?

You mentioned a while ago that nosebleeds are caused by dry air. Ever think that the use of physic powers could suck mostiure from the air?

Not that it’s of any interest or significance, but I hated AoA. That … event, and the bleed over from it are why I stopped reading comics.

I like the X-Men ergo I don’t read any X-Men comics.
