Andy's 'Push' power in Firestarter explained.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Since Andy's "Push" power is instrumental to many narrative elements in Firestarter, here is an explanation for how it works. Based on Stephen King's novel of the same name, Firestarter revolves around a young girl, Charlie, who possesses the ability to set things on fire using her mind.
While Charlie is the main character in all three movie adaptations of the Stephen King novel, Andy is the deuteragonist who also has supernatural abilities like Charlie. Unlike Charlie's pyrokinesis, Andy's powers have an air of mystery and intrigue around them, leaving audiences curious about its inner workings and limitations. Hence, here is a breakdown of Andy's "Push" ability from Firestarter.
Stephen King's original Firestarter book confirms that the "Push" only works on people with average intelligence who are not skeptical about Andy's intentions. When it comes to geniuses and people with unusually high levels of intelligence, Andy's "Push" leaves little to no effect.
Why Andy's Nose Bleeds When He Uses The "Push" Another major limitation of the "Push" ability is that it takes a severe mental toll on Andy. As seen in 2022's Firestarter, the mental strain from the power can give him severe nosebleeds and headaches. These after-effects of using the "Push" also suggest that prolonged usage of the ability could give Andy serious impairments such as brain hemorrhages.
