Nobody knows if it was a physical mark or maybe a mental mark? I would think it was a warning that God put in a potential killer's head not to touch Cain.

Jewish Answer

The mark on his forehead was the letter 'vav' which is HaShem's mark. Depending on what is used to make the mark, it's either HaShem's protection or condemnation.

Side fact:

The Christian "mark of the beast" comes from a misunderstanding of the discussion of HaShem's mark in the Tanach (Jewish Bible). The letter 'vav' has the numerical value of 6 and that's where the Christians created the concept of '666'.
