* DrivenToSuicide: By the ''Series/{{Jessica Jones|2015}}'' series he's become so burnt out that he seeks Jessica out because as the only one who "understands" him he believes that she can help him find some kind of purpose in life or remove his abilities or assist him with relearning how to be good and normal. After repeatedly pestering her to aid him or at least tell him what to do, Killgrave apologizes for everything and then kills himself after Jessica just keeps telling him to "go."

* WeakButSkilled: He's got no superpowers and is low on the totem pole even when compared to other non-powered villains and heroes like Kingpin but he compensates by being in peak physical condition and a very skilled fighter, to say nothing of his terrifying marksmanship skills.

* NoSell: Daredevil, Jessica Jones, the Kingpin, Dr. Doom, and Nate Grey have all proven able to resist his powers. Daredevil's non-conventional senses allow him to concentrate on resisting his commands, Jessica Jones received psionic shielding from Jean Grey, and the Kingpin was able to resist through sheer force of will (albeit with some obvious struggle). Dr. Doom however takes the cake, as he was able to easily ignore his power without any visible effort, all while he was connected to a device that amplified his ability to planet-influencing levels. Nate, meanwhile, was somewhat controlled until he twigged to the Purple Man's presence. As he informed Killgrave, in full GlowingEyesOfDoom mode, "My body is only vulnerable ''until my mind decides otherwise.''"

** It's also been shown that since his power runs on {{pheromones}}, characters who do not breathe are mostly immune to it without some kind of extra gimmick to make them vulnerable. A good chunk of ''Emperor Doom'' was dedicated to Namor hunting down the Marvel U's various robotic characters, and the plan is ultimately brought down by ComicBook/WonderMan, whose unique metabolism (which would eventually evolve into a full-on EnergyBeing) didn't need the bodily functions required for the pheromones to take over.

He is also well-known as one of Daredevil's most frequent rogues, often antagonizing the Man Without Fear. He infamously killed both ComicBook/{{Elektra}} ''and'' Karen Page -- two of Daredevil's most prominent love interests. After the [[ComicBook/SecretInvasion Skrull invasion of Earth]], he even (briefly) became the "new" ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}, as part of [[Characters/MarvelComicsNormanOsborn Norman Osborn]]'s ComicBook/DarkAvengers.

* {{Sadist}}: The Purple Man tends to go the extra mile while making other people do things. When he finds the chatter at a diner he visits at annoying, he forces everyone except for the chef and waiter to hold their breath, everyone suffocating to death. When he takes Jessica Jones under his thrall, he does every sexually humiliating thing to her he can think of ''except'' rape (including making her stand there as he rapes someone else).

* DirtyCoward: Beneath his sadism and psychopathy, Bullseye is ultimately this. American Eagle pointed out that he’s only fought against Daredevil and killed anyone weaker than him or who couldn’t fight back because he knows he’ll get his ass kicked if he fights anyone stronger. He also devolves into panic when at a disadvantage or when Matt finally lashes out and abandons his restraint. When Daredevil blocks all his shots in Chip Zdarsky’s run, Bullseye instantly flees. This is probably best exemplified in his fight with Daredevil in Gangwar. Bullseye is choking Daredevil, and in respones, Daredevil says he going to [[TakingYouWithMe take Bullseye with him]], and then starts chocking him putting both in a GameOfChicken. Despite being the one to choke Daredevil first, meaning that he would have the advantage, Bulleye lets go of Daredevil's neck, and desperately tries to pry Daredevil off his neck, causing him to lose the fight.

* TheDreaded: Everyone is frightened of him and with good reason. At the start of Brubaker's run, he is transferred from the Raft to Ryker's Island. Absolutely ''everyone'' in Ryker's -- even a guard and a prisoner in the middle of a savage brawl -- [[MassOhCrap drops what they're doing and stares blankly in horror when they find out.]]
