As with most comic book characters, there are often re-imaginations and different versions to a character’s past. We have chosen primarily to follow the storyline which unfolded in 2003's Alias #22 and 23 and was expanded upon in 2006's The Pulse #14.

Just because you have superpowers, does that mean you have to be a superhero/villain? Jessica Jones story kinda answers the question by saying you don't have to be.

In Alias, Purple Man doesn't even appear until the end and much of the things that he does to Jessica we find out as she's telling them to Luke. To be honest I loved Alias because we got to know Jessica more than just a victim. We actually get to see her grow from a fragile place to someone of strength. But the focus didn't obsess on Purple Man too much as if the comics understood that focusing on him granted him more power over her. In Alias, this was a woman trying to move on despite all the things that happened to her. A fact that the Netflix show missed completely and instead we get a woman who is so obsessed with her attacker to the point beyond reason or logic.

This origion story didn't occur until deep into the run and really was an afterthought. Note how the art changes to mimic the Stan Lee Jack Kirby style of the early 1960s. The real story behind Jessica Jones and Alias is her meeting with Killgrave, the purple man, who tortured her mentally and physically and left her the troubled character that is so distinctive. In the fantastic TV show David Tennent is frightening as Kilgrave (he is not purple but there is always something purple in his clothing).

+sailorkeyblader Not one character (excluding Von Strucker) from Agents of Shield have been in any movie since phase 1. I think they've earned their own sector of the universe. For example, The Most Wanted show on ABC will have no characters connected to the Avengers. Nowadays ABC shows are as disconnected as the Netflix shows are from the movies. Some might say they're even more disconnected since the Avengers won't find out about Coulson's team until at least infinity war. Whereas the Defenders aren't hiding from anyone and are in the same city as the avengers tower.

Sort of a for runner to the characters I hope to create in the future. People with super powers who act heroically but feel no need to bother with costumes and the whole secret identity thing. Though what I am creating shares few parallels, any parallels people would make are unintended as I only learned about Jessica Jones this year.

You do realize the main reason she didn't want to be a superhero was because she was kidnapped by the Purple Man who sexually abused and tortured her for 8 months when no family nor other heroes came to save her. It was because of this that she became an alcoholic and didn't want to be a hero because she thought nobody cared about her.

Alias is also the comic that gave us the ebst version of Purple Man: first,t ehy deconstruct the fact he has become a joke villain by this point, by showing us just much harm a person who can control the minds others can do. he also, like deadpool, is aware of his nature of a comicbook character, and even comments on the artstyke, but he is never played for humour and instead comes across as far more sinister and terrifying. and theeeen he just kinda went back to being a joke in the comics :/
