Mind control is a fairly typical superpower in comic books, but Purple Man takes it to creepier levels than any character before.First a Daredevil villain, Purple Man's recent appearances have mostly been connected with Jessica Jones, the former superhero who became a private detective in the pages of Marvel's mature readers series Alias. In that book, Purple Man was revealed to have controlled her over an uncomfortably long period of time, eventually sending her her to kill Daredevil.
