Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

It's not really an effect that can get stronger. I mean, at the point where people obey your every word, that's kind of it. They can't obey your every word harder.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.There's a character who has mind control abilities in the Hero Academia mango.
Bit more limited than Purple Man. He can only control people if you respond to something he says. And he has to be consciously trying to control you.
He's a creepy lookin dude but all he wants is to be a hero. But his whole life people have basically assumed that its an awesome power because you could get away with all kinds of things.
So I thought that was interesting use of bad powers good people.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersThe main character of Preacher has a similar ability to purple man. He can control it and its shown as the voice of god. The power can cause impossible things to happen theoretically. Such as commanding a one armed man to regrow his missing limb.
Having compelling voice that is always on is almost unfathomable. You'd have to communicate in written word just to stay sane at that point.
For Purple Man, communicating with the written word would be the same as speaking.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I would like to reply to a post of a few pages ago.

Hela also is a example of Villainesses Want Heroes.

The seems like his control might extend further than that. I think there were scenes in the trailer with him giving orders over the phone.
Well the TV show could just make his powers a Compelling Voice. In the comics it should only work when in range of his pheromones.
I've seen worse.
(Or is that better?)
