History SelfDemonstrating / PurpleMan

I bet most of you never heard of me until you saw the ''[[WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries X-Men]]'' episode "No Mutant Is An Island". I had a ball tormenting Cyclops. Or perhaps you're familiar with me from my appearance in the second season ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' episode "Emperor Stark", an adaptation of that horrid "Emperor Doom" storyline in which ''I'' was the one conquering the world through [[PuppetKing Tony Stark]] instead of just being Doom's tool, where Creator/BrentSpiner provided my voice. In addition, Creator/DavidTennant did a masterful job portraying me in ''Series/JessicaJones2015'' with all the true intimidating potential of my power displayed (probably with a bit of help from his role as [[Characters/HarryPotterDeathEaters Barty Crouch Jr.]] He may be more famous on [[Characters/DoctorWhoTenthDoctor Earth-5556]], but that was as a do-gooder.); they didn't capture my complexion though, but I certainly approved of the wardrobe!

* RunForTheBorder: During the ComicBook/CivilWar, I hijacked a ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} hovercraft so I could flee to Canada, but ComicBook/USAgent stopped me.

* CerebusRetcon: Bendis made me into a rapist when he wrote Jessica's first series. The reason this worked to my advantage, unlike DC's unfortunate [[ComicBook/IdentityCrisis attempt to reinvent Doctor Light]], is the fact that I was already a ''[[MindRape Mind]]''[[MindRape -Rapist]] to begin with, and my first appearance even had me bringing DD's not-girlfriend Karen Page into a hotel. I mean, seriously... [[FridgeHorror what did you think I was going to do to her]]?

* ChildHater: Children should be seen and not heard. In fact, I don't even think they should be seen. Hell, I've got no problem [[MoralEventHorizon threatening the unborn!]]

-->--Me, giving a pretty amazing BadassBoast to ComicBook/XMan... right before he kicked my ass. Goddammit.

* NamesTheSame: Zebediah Stane was Iron Man villain Obadiah Stane's dad, but he was just a backstory character.

Yes, truly my life changed after I met her... finally I had a worthy foe - A ComicBook/{{Joker}} to my ComicBook/BatMan, a ComicBook/{{Thanos}} to my ComicBook/{{Captain Marvel|MarvelComics}}, a ComicBook/DrSivana to my... ''[[NamesTheSame other]]'' [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]]! Why, we were made for each other... nevermind the fact that I was originally created to be a Daredevil foe and she was originally supposed to be [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Jessica Drew]], thus making my previous statement a [[{{Dissimile}} total untruth]]! People liked my involvement in her story so much, I would become a [[RoguesGalleryTransplant mainstay of her rogues' gallery forevermore]]!

Greetings, pitiful cowards and pathetic basement-dwellers of TV Tropes! You are now reading this in Creator/DavidTennant's [[CantUnhearIt gloriously]] CompellingVoice! Or at least {{Creator/BrentSpiner}}'s. And, even if you weren't, you most definitely are ''now'', since *I* demanded it! For I am '''[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Killgrave...]]''' [[RedBaron THE PURPLE MAN!!]]

Oh while you're at it, make some changes to Von Doom's page so that everyone knows that he's a spoiled thumbsucker that misses his mommy.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: I am sexist, I do not respect privacy, I enslave people mentally and break their wills, and I'm also a rapist who leaves the landscape littered with uncared-for children. But you should still put me in your [[WesternAnimation/XMen saturday-morning]] [[WesternAnimation/AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes cartoon shows]].

* CoolCar: I had a purple Rolls-Royce in the beginning of Marvel Team-Up Annual #4 ([[TheOneWith The Kingpin Issue]]), but I then stole a carriage from some unfortunate passers-by, so the same probably applied to the car. I used them up, and then threw them away, [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain much like my girlfriends]].

"Who needs the grief?", I thought to myself, and, [[CutLexLuthorACheck finally realizing what I could do with my powers]], retired from crime to become a ManOfWealthAndTaste. The writers weren't done with me yet, though, and a run-in with some of the Kingpin's thugs led me into being forced against my will (note the {{irony}}) to participate in a plan to kill ComicBook/SpiderMan, ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}, ComicBook/LukeCageHeroForHire, ComicBook/IronFist and ComicBook/MoonKnight. This failed utterly. Some time after this I moved to an island in the south pacific... where I was kidnapped by ComicBook/DoctorDoom. [[SarcasmMode What joy]]. Long GraphicNovel short, I was imprisoned in a "psycho-prism" which he then used to control everyone on earth. This being Doom, he grew bored of victory, and let [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor]] ''kill'' me! Thanks a lot, Earth's mightiest heroes! Couldn't spare a single second of your time to save a helpless victim about to be murdered by a crazed atlantean, huh?!

->"''[I am] a man you cannot touch, directly or indirectly. A mutant you will not remember as soon as I am out of sight, and I will be out of sight as soon as I [[CompellingVoice declare it to be so]]. ''You'' cannot touch me...'' [[ParanoiaFuel But I am]] '''[[NightmareFuel all over you.]]'''"

* CompleteMonster: It doesn't bother me if you want to label my [[Series/JessicaJones2015 television incarnation]] as such. I can make you [[SycophanticServant sing my praises]] all I like. If you wish to learn more, see [[Monster/MarvelCinematicUniverse here]]. As for regular-me, [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou well, I was labeled as such too at one point, but one suggestion later...]]

* NoSell: Yeah, I'm ''really'' getting sick of all these people who can resist my powers! Daredevil, Doom, Kingpin, Moon Knight (then again he was a few mummies short of a sarcophagus with a hint of moon madness), Jessica....

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Oh I was more than capable from day one entrancing Daredevil's blonde girlfriend who-oh what was her name again? Karen Page? Yes, and I would have had some fun with her too were it not for that yellow, yes ''yellow'' colored Spider-Man knock-off getting between me and my next conquest! However, it wouldn't be until decades later though more like years later in my reality when I would be introduced to that one special woman courtesy of a man by the name of Brian Michael Bendis who taking full advantage of the fact Jessica Jone's debut comic was most certainly ''not'' aimed at younger audiences re-invented me from being another villain to get his face punched in by the hero to being revealed as the raison d'être why sweet sweet Jessica was over with the superhero gig before it ever started in earnest! I'll admit I may have had a bit ''too much'' fun making her obsess over my fabulous purple skin while I pleasured other women in front of her, but how was I to know she'd suffer even ''more'' psychological damage when I ordered her to destroy the devil of Hell's Kitchen with her bare super-powered hands and instead, she accidentally picked a fight with another red-colored superhero who was part of the ''Avengers''?!

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: I've been told I have a few similarities with Jason Cragg, a one-time Ant-Man villain who had [[CompellingVoice the same power as me]] and lost them in his first and only appearance. Clearly Creator/StanLee decided he needed an upgrade!

--> *rolls eyes* Oh, so we're going to pretend [[ComicBook/JessicaJones you]] and I don't know what's really going on? You don't want to embarass yourself in front of your readers.

!! Now, [[VideoGame/Bioshock1 would you kindly]] organize this page for me and put all the tropes in a nice, alphabetic order? There's a good lad...

* PaintingTheMedium: Sometimes, my hypnotic suggestions are demonstrated by '''[[purple: text turning purple]]'''. Either my own text, or my thralls'.
