• Two other bleeding examples when power overloading from other body parts are: Matt Neuenberg bleeding from the ears when using his ability to download the Primatech computer banks in (The End of Hana and Drucker), and Hana Gitelman when bleeding from the nose, eyes, and mouth after being attacked by a computer virus while communicating with a satellite in (The Death of Hana Gitelman, Part 2).
