Dr. Kilgrave AKA The Purple Man


By now many of you have either watched a few episodes or binge watched the entire 1st season of Marvel´s Jessica Jone´s but lets give you a background to the man known simply on the show as Kilgrave. Dr.Zebidiah (not Kevin) Killgrave was born in Rijeka, Croatia. He was a physician but became a international spy he was sent to infiltrate a chemical refinery. Things didn´t go as planned he was Caught outright and questioned, Killgrave offered a weak, inadequate alibi to his captors. Much to his surprise, he was believed and released. Several more incidents of this nature demonstrated that the nerve gas had given Killgrave the superhuman ability to command the wills of other people. Calling himself the Purple Man, Killgrave embarked on a criminal career. This is where it gets fun Early in his criminal career, he used his mind control powers to force a woman to become his wife. Before she recovered and left him, she became pregnant with his daughter, Kara Killgrave who inherited her fathers purple hair an skin as well as his powers. Instead of following her dads footsteps she became the hero known as purple girl then later on became persuasion with the hero team Alpha Flight. In the 1980´s kilgrave had disappeared from many adventures but he did show a few times. in the graphic novel Emperor Doom. Doom uses Killgrave to power a machine called the "psycho-prism" that allowed Doom to control all minds of everyone on Earth (Doom himself is immune to Killgrave's powers, due to Doom's incredible force of will). Wonder Man manages to escape the mind-control effect due to having spent time in a sensory deprivation tank. Wonder Man breaks Doom's hold over several selected Avenger colleagues. An enraged Sub-Mariner smashes the device, which results in Killgrave's apparent death, although he somehow survives which seems to always be the case the man survives some how. He later reappeared in the pages of X-Man, where it was revealed that he was the mastermind behind Nate Grey's dramatically sudden rise to super-celebrity status as a miracle worker in New York City. He had been subtly manipulating both the population of Manhattan and Nate himself into accepting and embracing the young exile from the "Age of Apocalypse" story line as a modern messianic figure, who would then become so psychologically empowered by hero-worship that he could and would literally change the reality of the world using the full potential of his mutant power. The plan ultimately fails when Nate learns the truth and loses his confidence, thus reducing his power. Killgrave goes once more into hiding which is his calling card he is more of an in the shadows kinda of guy but when he wants something he will get an kill anyone he wants to. Purple Man also has "Purple Children" as revealed in, Daredevil Vol 4 #8. They were his offspring of different women he slept with over the years. He would get those women pregnant, after making them fall in love with him using his powers, and would later abandon them and make them tell no one. Over the years, Purple Man kept track of them, and finally decided to gather them one by one. Purple Man hoped he could rule countries with his children and finally know unconditional love. After recovering the fifth son, Jamie, the Purple Children were powerful enough to unite their wills and stand up against their father. They forced Purple Man to walk in front of a train and kill himself. With no one to control them, the Purple Children set out to do whatever they wanted. They eventually made their way to San Francisco, and caught the attention of their father's enemy Daredevil after stealing a police car. He managed to stop them, but they soon used the crowd nearby to oppose the vigilante. When SFPD arrived on the scene, the children controlled the officers into shooting at Daredevil, and used the confusion created to escape. They were soon after caught and cornered by Daredevil, but they used their powers to emotionally assault Daredevil, and defeat him, making the hero fall in a gutter. The Purple Children targeted an arcade next, where they used their powers to take absolute control of the place. Their father Purple Man, who had survived thanks to his healing factor, followed them, and stealthily started taking them down, one by one. Daredevil managed to save the children, and help the police officers surrounding the arcade center by turning up the volume of the music, so Purple Man's commands wouldn't be heard. The children were separated and taken to different locations, some had families, others didn't. Due to being out of their "sphere of influence" and separated, they started reverting to normal and lost their powers. So lets just say Killgrave is not a good person period lets talk a little more about his powers and abilities. The Purple Man’s body has been altered to produce chemical pheromones which, when inhaled or absorbed through the skin, allow Killgrave to control others' actions by verbal suggestions. The effects only last as long as he is physically present and are somehow keyed to his voice and speech-pattern. When he departs, the level of pheromones is reduced within his victims at various rates (dependent upon their metabolisms), and then the victims regain full cognizance of self. Killgrave can influence hundreds of people at one time, and his victims can be controlled to perform actions against their will. He also seems to have some control over the release of his pheromones into the atmosphere, as he is able to walk hidden among crowds without influencing everybody. The Purple Man's body has also been mutated so that he is able to recover rapidly from trauma and to heal from severe injuries. In at least one instance, he entered a deathlike state while his body healed itself. Not everyone is susceptible to his mind-control abilities. Doctor Doom has demonstrated that his supreme willpower can easily overcome the Purple Man's powers, while Daredevil is able to resist because being blind allows him to focus his concentration on resisting the Purple Man's verbal commands. He's also a skilled manipulator with a high-level intellect.[vol In his appearances in Alias, Purple Man's abilities are not limited to merely controlling the physical actions of his victims, but also some of their cognitive functions: In that series, he speaks to a former victim as if she secretly believes she lives within a comic book and he is aware of her belief, and also causes her to experience visual hallucinations and emotional desires, at his commands. Now that is a problem no one wants to deal with a man powers like theses Killgrave is a true sociopath a rapist a villain to his core now tell me would you want too get on the purple man´s bad side because honestly you will have no choice but to listen. That´s just a background of the Man an the monster he has become. This is Everett signing off
