Awh he won't actually have bright purple skin? I guess that makes sense
A cool way to do it would have him turn purple to whoever he's using his powers on, like some hallucination thing.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Dunno whether this is an on-set shot or whether it's just Tennant walking around before make-up. Who knows. I'd like them to do purple skin, even if it is like you say.

To be honest I think Netflx Marvel is going to have such good villains.

Just finished Daredevil. I cannot wait for AKA. This is gonna be so fucking good. Hyped for Tennant.

Oh man. I was actually hoping he'd be purple but this'll do. After watching Daredevil I'm really excited for this now.

He still might be. Pre-makeup?

Won't Jessica Jones be kind of boring?
I mean what would set it apart from say ALIAS or La Femme Nikita?
Or will they have an episode where she snaps and goes full power on someone turning them to paste and then Matt Murdock has to play defense attorney while Iron Fist and Luke Cage take down the bad guys?

Why would it be boring?
If the Purple Man is the villain, it'll probably be a lot more psychologically horrific/traumatic than either Alias or Nikita ever were.
Also superpowers.
Also, Jessica isn't a spy, she's a detective. Alias and Nikita are both espionage programs in the vein of Agents of SHIELD.

I haven't read the comics for this, only the descriptions people have posted here, so I may be totally wrong, but does anyone think the Purple Man stuff will be flashback type material, sprinkled throughout, to add depth to her character over time? Then maybe he'd show up again in a more present day focus later on for the arc of the season.

Isn't the whole point (of the MARVEL MAX series at least) that she doesn't use her powers or nullifies them because they can be abused?
NotTheGuyYouKill

I was referring to Purple Man. He's an abusive monster and he gets away with it with his abilities.
She doesn't use them that much, she does put Man Mountain Marko through a car

Also accidentally smashes a taxi in The Pulse.
Or maybe later in the season she (or someone) puts her hands on his face and surprise, it's makeup and he's actually purple (like Nicholson Joker)

I wonder if they're gonna make him a complete, sadistic, and total monster to contrast him to Daredevil's Kingpin whose a bit more three dimensional or if they're gonna make do something closer to Hannibal and Kingpin and make him have other facets.
But I think the nature of the character makes it necessary for him to be the most rotten son of the bitch on the face of the earth.

I wouldn't personally wear it but that is a gorgeous coat.Days of Fuchsia Past.
Well that is what he is, he is completely irredeemable. Mandrill had the same powers and at least he fought for race equality sometimes
Oh i like this... Not upset he doesn't have purple skin because Kingpin wasn't 300+ pounds on Daredevil and D'Onofrio killed that role so I'm excited!
Days of Fuchsia Past.
Looks pimping.

Is this dark and gritty like Daredevil, or light-hearted colorful superhero romp? That purple clothed shot makes it seem like it's going to be a vibrant, fun series.
Purple Man is joyful
In movies/TV you don't put your costume/wardrobe on before you get your makeup done. Too much risk of getting makeup or other nasty stuff on the costume. I'd bet he turns purple when he uses his powers.
LOL this is adult. It deals with betrayal (I wonder if
they keep the avengers beating the shit out of her stuff and not really apologizing
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! This is so adult that 36 year olds will be calling for an adult.
If they follow the story, the think pieces will be hilarious.

Right idea, wrong hero.
She doesn't use her powers much. That's the entire point of the character, she retains the abilities but chooses not to use them.
Most likely.
If I had to guess, not as dark as Daredevil on a regular basis, but it will go to some dark places. Alias is mostly a straightforward detective book, with a detective that take it and dish it out when she needs to. Generally, she skips flight altogether.
Here's the full story if you want to understand.

Ugh, I'll be so disappointed if Tennant isn't actually purple.
Have to say I wasn't sure how Jones would be, but after Daredevil, I trust them to deliver. I think this could be a really unique entry into the Marvel cinematic roster, and considering how well Daredevil handled it's themes and portrayal, I'm very hopeful for this now.
And Tennant is going to be so interesting to see.

Honestly, if he was actually purple, MCU Nick Fury would've had him dead to rights long ago.

Really looking forward to this, having just finished Daredevil. I've got the Alias omnibus that I still havent cracked open to get me ready for this.

DAMN IT. I was wondering why there was such a huge crowd of people in Union Square on the night of the 9th, but I just shrugged it off. Feels bad, man. I'm glad though that they're not making the Purple Man actually purple, for largely the same reasons the Kingpin wasn't 300 pounds and wearing a white suit & ascot. I feel that there's only so much you can get away with by using the reason "It was in the comics." And especially in this new girtty & realistic subsection of the MCU. Although, I was bummed when they made Daredevil's final costume
resemble the 90s EXTREME armor variant.

I completely agree. Could easily say he's making people perceive him that way, or have him wearing makeup.
Also, thanks to whomever (EDIT: MHWilliams) posted the imgur link before, I knew about Purple Man but had never seen those panels.

That's pretty fucked.
If Kilgrave can make people do whatever the fuck he wants, how are Daredevil and Spider-Man able to kick the shit outta him on the reg?
