Born Zebediah Killgrave, Purpleman gained his abilities through exposure to a chemical compound that turned his skin purple and granted him the power of mind control.

Purpleman's primary ability is his potent mind control, which allows him to manipulate the actions and decisions of those around him. His powers are so strong that individuals under his control are compelled to carry out his commands without question. Additionally, Purpleman's purple skin serves as a visual indicator of his powers and distinguishes him from other characters.
