Appearing in “Killgrave, the Unbelievable Purple Man!”
When master manipulator Zebediah Killgrave—his very skin dyed violet—walks out of a Manhattan bank with stacks of cash and no alarm raised, Matt Murdock suspects foul play. As Daredevil he discovers Killgrave’s pheromone-based mind-control, battles a horde of mesmerized henchmen, frees Karen Page from the villain’s thrall and ultimately seals the Purple Man inside an airtight glass prison that blocks his powers. The victory proves that willpower—and a yellow mask—can outmatch even the most insidious form of persuasion.
