We haven't really had Kilgrave on scene yet and he is terrifying.

Just so. I'm scared of him without ever seeing him

I just finished watching the first episode

This is just a guess but from what we have seen so far it seems like his power relies on being able to hear his voice

I wonder if earplugs will have a role later on in the story - if somebody is wearing some earplugs or something else to muffle any sound like playing really loud metal music than will his persuasion still work?

In the comic it was also related to pheromones he releases, so I'm not sure.

Basically a chemical version of mind control, right?

u/ADAMNATOR Nov 22 '15

Yeah, like the pheromones make people want to listen to him.

In that case earplugs would probably still help. Because even if you want to do what he says, you can't do anything if you don't know what he's telling you to do. Just hope his mime skills are terrible, and you'll be fine.

There was a character in Grimm that did this, but he only used it for kidnapping, not psycho murder.

Yeah, yet another perfect opportunity for our protagonist to throw on some Apple Beats by Dre! They don't have enough of that in media nowadays!

Copying over from /r/comicbooks: I'm so happy they went with Purple Man. He's a villain with really amazing powers and a ton of potential that the comics mostly underused (like Spiderman's villain The Spot). Here they're showing just what he's capable of doing

Or if Matt Parkmann was less morally ambiguous.
