Kilgrave's History

Kevin Thompson was a man who was experimented on by his parents since his childhood in order to treat a neurodegenerative disease, but the treatment ended up giving him the new ability to control people's minds at his will. Assuming the name Kilgrave, he began to use his powers for personal gain and developed a cruel nature, eventually coming across Jessica Jones whom he kept as his personal sex slave for several months.

Kilgrave became obsessed and fascinated with Jones, even falling in love and hunting her down since she managed to overcome his thrall, using Hope Shlottman and Malcolm Ducasse to get closer to her and trying to manipulate her into staying with him. Jones explained that she had the idea to teach Kilgrave morality so he can use his powers for good but Kilgrave's quest for a loving future with Jones soon fell apart when she went behind his back and tried to have him arrested. Now furious at the betrayal, he focused his efforts on enhancing his powers with the help of his father and finally killing Jones. He was eventually cornered while trying to escape New York City and had his neck broken by Jones.

Despite being defeated by the only person he considered an equal, his fearsome reputation was repeatedly mentioned through out New York and other places he has been by civilians, his former victims and their enemies alike. Ducasse, who he ordered to stalk Jessica was desperately finding ways to recover from his time as a drug-addict Kilgrave made him to be in order to keep a low-profile taking pictures on Jones.

When Walker made and an alliance with Karl Malus in order to get super strength like Jessica, the Kilgrave hallucination kept on taunting Jessica to kill Malus and only faded into nothing when she decided to spare him, but promises her if she gets into difficult problems again he will always be there to discuss it with her.
