Sometimes I feel I've got to (dum dum) run away I've got to (dum dum) get away from the pain that you drive into the heart of me... In general, the tendency of people suffering some sort of abnormal condition to develop highly visible, off-color veins all over their body or near the distressed areas. Might be due to catching a bite from someone/thing infected with The Virus, or as a manifestation of a villain's Red Right Hand after willingly succumbing to The Dark Side or The Corruption. It's also possible if the character is suffering a Super-Power Meltdown, Power Degeneration, or as a side effect to taking too much Psycho Serum. A vampire, werewolf or other supernatural critter hit with Depleted Phlebotinum Shells inducing a burning reaction (or even just partial sun exposure/blood starvation) may develop Tainted Veins because their glamour is failing. Special mention goes to zombie bites for always creating nasty necrotic veins wherever they bit. Expect characters with a Healing Factor (or with friends possessing Healing Hands and or a Magic Antidote) to quickly and neatly reverse the appearance of these veins. See also Volcanic Veins for when they glow. Compare Vein-o-Vision, which is where a character has a power that makes them see the world this way. May involve a Wound That Will Not Heal. This is a Justified Trope (Tropes Are Not Bad): There are toxins that cause venous thrombosis (clotting of blood in veins) which can make surface veins visible and dark — especially if the clotting is in deep tissue in an affected limb. Telangiectasias, or spider veins, is also a real life example, though just small red blood vessels under the skin. Usually harmless, sometimes a sign of something serious, so get it checked out if you can. |

This also happens to Batman again in Batman: The Telltale Series after Lady Arkham injects him with the same psychoactive drug other characters have been injected with prior to this. It makes the victim more aggressive, acting on impulses they would not act on otherwise. Naturally, this gets him into some trouble. | |

Dragon Age Dragon Age II, this is one symptom of the Darkspawn corruption that finally kills Wesley. And Bethany/Carver, if they die in the Deep Roads. Or anyone who dies via the Taint, of course. Dragon Age: Inquisition: During Cassandra's personal quest, her former apprentice Daniel has these after being forced to consume red lyrium. This turns out to be a particularly bad form of the Darkspawn taint, as Varric's personal quest reveals that lyrium turns red when it is infected by the Blight. |

In Changes, we are treated to a minor case of this courtesy of Ebenezar, as a result of using the Blackstaff. |

Surprisingly, this happens in Power Rangers in Space, a children's show of all things: In the episode "The Barillian Sting", Carlos, the Black Ranger, is infected by a bite from an alien insect released by Darkonda, a villainous bounty hunter. The infection begins to spread over Carlos' body, giving him inflamed red and blue veins, among other horrific symptoms. | |

Happens a few times in Supernatural: Sam sees these spreading on his face when he's going through withdrawal and hallucinating in "When the Levee Breaks". As he's dying in "Time After Time", Chronos' veins glow and pulsate. In "The Born-Again Identity", when Castiel is transferring Sam's Cage-match madness into himself, the transferal manifests as glowing red veins appearing on Sam, and moving through Cass's arm into him. In Season 11, black veins are a symptom of being infected and turned rabid by the Darkness's corruption, most notably when Castiel is possessed by the Leviathans. |

Owning to his tendency to forcibly insert himself right into the bloodstream and organs of his opponents to extract 'information', Armisael in Neon Genesis Evangelion causes this to both the Eva he's attacking and the pilot of the Eva.

Those who try to impose their will over magic for brute power have their veins turn black, which is implied to be a very bad thing.

In Warbreaker, the magic sword Nightblood feeds on the magic energy (called Breath) of whoever is holding it when it is fully drawn. It destroys anything it touches into a cloud of black smoke, but if the wielder runs out of Breaths or Stormlight black veins begin to climb up their arm as the sword consumes their life force. Despite all that, the sword is was created to do good, with the magic purpose of destroying evil. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Tony Stark's Palladium poisoning in Iron Man 2 cause grey veins around his arc reactor. Thor: The Dark World: When Loki seemingly dies, his skin turns ash-grey, and his veins become highly visible. Black Panther (2018): As part of the trial of combat to claim the title of Wakanda's king, T'challa drinks a concoction that strips him of his abilities, giving him a series of purple veins across his body. Thor: Ragnarok: If you look closely, you can see that Hela has faint but visible black veins on her shoulders, forehead and around her eyes and jawline. This is presumably to represent that she's maybe not fully alive (as the goddess of death) and is maybe a mild homage to the goddess Hel appearing as half alive and half dead in the original Norse Mythology. When Thor and Loki are zapped by the shock devices (which likely contain a neurotoxin) for long enough, they develop purple veins. Bruce Banner, finding himself on an alien planet after two years as the Hulk, rants to Thor about how stressful this is to him. While he does, the veins of his face and neck briefly flush green. |

A big deal is made over how a kryptonite bullet is the only thing that can penetrate the Batsuit, but when Tommy Elliot shoots Ryan Wilder with one, she's still able to get to her feet again and kick his ass.

Dragon Age II, this is one symptom of the Darkspawn corruption that finally kills Wesley. And Bethany/Carver, if they die in the Deep Roads. Or anyone who dies via the Taint, of course. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: In "Two to Go", Dark Willow goes all black-eyed and veiny after absorbing Rack's black magic. Pete from the episode "Beauty and the Beasts". Thanks to taking Psycho Serum, he transforms into a crazed monster whenever he gets angry, complete with bulging, discolored veins all over him. |

In Changes, we are treated to a minor case of this courtesy of Ebenezar, as a result of using the Blackstaff. | |

The vampires in Interview with the Vampire have visible veins on their faces, too, but that's due as much to their creepily transparent porcelain white skin as it is to their veins being full of freshly drunk blood. | |

The Seventh Soul in GURPS Villains has black veins all over its body. These are its only persistent identifying feature, since it reincarnates. | |

Star Wars Legends: When Tash Arranda is infected with The Virus in Galaxy of Fear: The Planet Plague, she starts off with a rash that becomes a swelling bump with raised brownish veins. Then it starts leaking brownish-green Blob Monster goo. Spore assimilates people by sending out dark vinelike things that sink into the skin and are quickly only visible as a "dark tracing of lines", like veins. |

Kurumi from School-Live! gains these on her right arm, the right side of her neck, and a bit of the right side of her face, after her close brush with zombification. It is unsure if this will be permanent however, as she's treated quickly but there are signs the treatment wasn't permanent. | |

In the New World of Darkness, black veins in a character's Aura are a sign that they're a Soul Eater, the worst possible crime against the game's Karma Meter. | |

In Let Me In, this trope applies to Abby's vampiric Game Face when she needs to feed, although the dim light can make it difficult to see. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In the episode "Identity Crisis", Geordi gets infected by a disease that covers him with invisible blue glowing veins. It's bad news. Borg assimilation does this, with added blueish-grey skin. |

In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, each time Samus absorbs a Phazon Core, her veins become more noticeable in reflections of her face; bigger, longer, bluer. | |
