* Lily Strosek the Fourth from ''[[Lyrical Nanoha|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Force]]'' has a limited kind of Psychic ability. She can send psychic thoughts, sometimes to the point of sending others reeling, but unlike telepaths, she can't read minds. It's also noted to be different from the telepathic ability that mages in the setting have. As a [[Cute Mute]], she mostly uses this to talk to others, which can lead to some problems when the being she's trying to communicate with is immune to psychics.
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' goes a bit easier on the Psychic Powers thing. Every Gundam Meister in Season 2 can communicate through means of Quantum Brainwaves, except for Lyle Dylandy (AKA Lockon Stratos). This actually turns out to be an advantage for Lockon in the movie, because the ELS constantly try to communicate with anyone using Quantum Brainwaves, rendering them unable to fight due to the accidental mind rape. Lockon's inability to use Quantum Brainwaves is actually what also saves Setsuna.
* ''[[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical Index]]'' has an entire city devoted to artificially inducing esper powers. The process has a success rate of about 60% and no side effects at all, and it's mentioned that magic was invented specifically to grant supernatural abilities to non-espers. One deadly side effect to the combination of esper and magic powers is that they counteract with one another, causing severe damage toor the bodydeath when one person usesattempts to use both abilities.
* Rei Hino/Sailor Mars of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' possesses psychic abilities.
* ''[[Deadman Wonderland]]'', a manga and short anime series, is based around Ganta Igarashi who's accused of massacring his classmates. Eventually Ganta finds out that the Red Man (Wretched Egg) gave him a red stone that makes him a "Deadman", a human with the power to manipulate their own blood for offensive/defensive purposes called "Branches of Sin".
* The eponymous character of ''[[Helen ESP]]'' possesses a variety of psychic powers, at the start mainly telepathy and being able to sense things that are [[Invisible to Normals]], though she later gains the ability of flight. She's not the only one with such powers, but {{spoiler|they get preyed upon by such things as a giant cloud spider...thing.}}
* [[Akira]] includes psychic characters such as the infamous Tetsuo, as well as the titular Akira, who {{spoiler|levels all of Tokyo in a massive psychic explosion.}}

* A full list of comics characters with Psychic Powers would probably crash this server, so let's just conclude with "lots" and leave it at that.

* In ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'', the key to [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Koizumi]]'s use of his powers are stated to be linking to Haruhi's mind and acknowledging the differences between his own emotions and hers. Eventually he manages to form mind links with anybody else, possibly getting to read their surface thoughts. Through his limited experimentation, he learns that most of the SOS Brigade have some kind of [[Psychic Block Defense]] with varying strengths, ranging from feeling like a strong wind, to being completely undetectable.
* In ''[[Oh God, Not Again]]'', Harry claims that his scar is psychic to explain how he knows so much (in actuality, he [[Time Travel|time traveled]]). Note that he doesn't say ''he'' is psychic- just his scar is. Professor Trelawney calls him a Seer by proxy.
