Fictional character biography
Zebediah Killgrave was born in Yugoslavia and worked as a spy before an accident involving a chemical spill turned his skin purple and gave him the ability to control others' actions through pheromones. He adopted the alias "Purple Man" and began a life of crime.
Powers and abilities
Purple Man's primary ability is mind control, which he exerts through pheromones. These pheromones allow him to command others to do his bidding, often without them realizing they are being controlled. His powers are most effective in close proximity, but their influence can linger even after he has left the area.
In other media
Purple Man has appeared in various Marvel Cinematic Universe adaptations. He is portrayed by David Tennant in the Netflix series Jessica Jones. In the series, his character is named Kilgrave and retains his mind control abilities, which he uses to torment Jessica Jones.
Reception
Purple Man is considered one of the most disturbing and psychologically complex villains in the Marvel Universe. His ability to control others' actions has been used to explore themes of power, consent, and trauma, particularly in the Alias series.
