Your Weekend Moment of Psychic Nosebleed Zen: Nate Grey, again

April 14th, 2007

Filed under: Comics, Medicine

Nate Grey was one of the few who survived the Age of Apocalypse and somehow ended up in the regular Marvel Universe (the others being Sugarman, the “Dark” Beast, and sometimes — via the Exiles — Blink)

In this scene, he is thinking back over the events that led to the collapse of the Age of Apocalypse and he ends up losing control of his powers and destroying a tanker truck. (The line down the middle is from the page seam; this is two-page spread. Now that I’m looking though it, you really didn’t get your money’s worth out of this comic. In a mere 22-pages, there are three two-page spreads and two full-page panels. And it’s not like the other pages had much either, most just had 3 or panels. Some quick math tells me that X-Man #5 delivered an average of just 2.7 panels per page.)

    Loeb did the panel-filler thing a lot for Dark Victory too, IIRC

    Isn’t this Nate’s third appearence with a psychic nosebleed? Maybe it’s time to consider other possibilities and get an ENT opinion?

    This is Nate’s third appearance, and it wouldn’t surprise me if he had a few more as well. He’s still behind Maxwell Lord, Jean Grey, and the all-time winner Emma Frost in Nosebleed Zen appearances.

    I still think “psychic nosebleeds” enjoy a more prosaic (and sicker!) etiology:
    (1) Psychic/Telekinetic uses powers to pick nose/remove earwax, etc. Repetition damages membranes and blood vessels near surface.
    (2) High blood pressure during moments of stress (saving world, etc) causes bleed.

    This gives excellent scope for Marvel/DC to focus on those superhero exudate removal moments. . .
    We could even see Charles Xavier leaving the young Jean Grey asking herself “How did he know I picked my nose so much it bled!”
