Zebediah Killgrave, also known as the Purple Man, is a supervillain from Marvel Universe, most commonly serving as the arch-nemesis of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, and an enemy of Daredevil and the Avengers. He was altered by an accident and ended up getting the new ability to control people's minds at his will using pheromones, first using his powers for personal gain and developing a cruel nature.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- He's a serial rapist who hypnotizes young women (especially college girls) into having sex with him and/or each other. At least six equally-hypnotic children were birthed from these rapes, one of whom's mother even died in the process of said birth.
- He's by all means an abusive parent; once his children's mothers (one of whom he personally made walk off the roof to her death) were all either dead or in prison, he kidnaps them to amplify his own powers by using them as living batteries.
- Once at a local Denny's, he hypnotized the 34 customers to stop breathing just so he could eat his breakfast in peace as they were too noisy, resulting in all their deaths. It's also said in-universe that there were 40 incidents like this in total, leaving little to the imagination regarding how many more innocents shared the same fate.
- He kidnapped, tortured and enslaved superheroine Jessica Jones for eight months on end, thus leaving her with massive PTSD. To be specific, he forced her to watch him rape college girls while also cruelly brainwashing her into lusting after him during the whole ordeal, making her jealous that he's not having sex with her instead.
- While in control of Manhattan, he kills 13 college students with a sonic device and frames Songbird for it, and then later cowardly orders the entire borough to commit suicide when the Thunderbolts have him cornered.
- He uses a mind-control machine to cause global chaos just to spite Daredevil. Then, upon becoming dissatisfied with the results, Killgrave angrily states his intent to make Daredevil eat his own best friend and/or stomp on puppies.
- Although he once committed suicide out of (what seemed like) remorse for his actions, this becomes completely subverted after his resurrection when he breaks a deal with Jessica and tries to kill his own son Benjamin in her body, and even threatens to make Jessica's husband Luke Cage go on a killing spree before taking his own life, sadistically taunting Jessica the entire time, thus showing he's back to being the same selfish hedonist he always was.
- It's also worth mentioning that even back then, Killgrave was actually pretty selfish in committing suicide since another factor was the belief that he didn't fit in on Earth due to his god complex. Thus, his remorse was honestly moot from the start.
- Overall, he's easily one of the most despicable Earth-bound sociopaths in the entire franchise, and by far the worst rapist of them all.
Trivia[]
- He, along with his MCU version, are the only versions of the Purple Man to be Pure Evil.
