Current Events > With Kilgrave's powers, would you end up like he did too?

(+) Yeah! (+)

If you got those powers from childhood, would you end up being like him too?

what are his powers I don't watch that non-canon Netflix crap
---

Wasn't it mostly his parents that turned him into what he was?
---

I wouldn't use my powers to rape anyone...So no.

who's that

That is your mindset now though. As a child you are not mature enough to think about that and the power will corrupt you very easily.

I mean a child who will always get his way will always be a spoiled brat and that wont change.

According to Kilgrave's dad, he was always a horrible little shit. It wasn't the powers that changed him.
---

yeah that's a power i'd legit never ever want.
---

Unless they were raised very, very carefully, I can't imagine anyone growing up to be a well adjusted person.

Even if it was, I think having those powers from a young age will turn the vast majority of people into a sociopath.

Anything he says, you are forced to do. He can't turn it off. Literally any command he gives can not be disobeyed

We like to think that we are pure and upright individuals, but I'll be the first to admit that id probably be a monster if I had his power, especially if I was born with it.

That kind of power, like it or not, would go to your head. At first, you might start off light, like humiliating asshole in public. You know, people who deserved it. If you weren't careful, you might eventually move on from that, to something more nefarious.

damn that's some powerful shit. he's basically Charles Xavier. Thank you for answering the question :-)

Probably. I can't imagine anyone growing up like that with any sort of upbringing where they wouldn't end up rotten.

Not as powerful as Xavier. Kilgrave can't take direct control over people, he gives them commands. His power can be thwarted sometimes by taking advantage of vague wording of his orders.

Also duct tape ^_^

I would probably just make people buy things for me.

is Kilgrave considered a mutant? Or did he get his powers via accident or teachings?

and he can only command you once. Also, if you end up dying and coming back, whatever he commanded you to do is worn off.

Also, I don't think anyone would come out so well adjusted. Its one of those things that would probably mutate your personality.

Can I learn to control it? That power sounds so evil.

In the comics he was a spy who got chemicals spilled on him, and in the show he got them from his scientist parents trying to cure some brain disease he had

I don't remember him having that limit. Weren't there multiple people he kept as thralls essentially under constant orders?

In Jessica Jones he got his powers through scientific experiments his parents did on him. In the comics I think it was from some crazy nerve gas that he came into contact with.

So he's not a mutant

No he can give multiple commands, but any command he gives wears off in half a day or something

Also, you build a tolerance to it if he commands you often

Well maybe that's true, but I swore that Jessica wasn't under his control or something when he commanded her but I swore it was because she had died and when coming back, whatever control was gone. I don't know...its been awhile. I thought of watching it but it can be kinda depressing lol

Now that I know the details of this man, I can definitely say that if I had his powers I would become an immediate super-villain.

Even then it wasn't like it was easy, it was very hard for her.

This is also different in the comics btw. There, because of shenanigans, the Avengers feel guilty enough that they get Jean Grey to give Jessica psychic shielding that nullifies Kilgrave's powers.

Also worth mentioning that comic Kilgrave uses pheromones, so (IIRC) you can just block his abilities with smell.
