Purple Man. I think his powers work on the mental and physical level.

Why do you fools always underestimate The Bat? Seriously Purpleman? WTF! Batman would beat this guy on his standard nightly patrol and then go on to the next low level nobody loser. Batman was able to easily resist Nudge's mind control and she is way more powerful than Purpleman; She controlled some of the most powerful members of the JLA including Superman!

It's not standard mind control. It's pheromone based

Purple Man's powers may be pheromone based but there is som overlap with telepathy. Jean Grey, a telepath, was able to give Jessica Jones the ability to resist Purple Man's powers by implanting telepathic shields. I consider his power to be a sort of subset of general comic book mind control, at least for the purposes of comparing characters. The questions are: who else has been able to resist Purple Man, and is Batman their equivalent in terms of willpower? And is there anyone with mind control powers as strong as Purple Man's in DC that batman has successfully resisted? I know Doom has resisted an amped Purple Man before, I'm not sure who else has done so.

Pheromone based? Batman has resisted to Ivy, so no luck there

@AllmightyJackson: You are overestimating Bats. Overestimating Nudge. And Underestimating Purple Man. Dr. Doom used Purple Mans power to take over the entire world. All the Avengers, Fantasic Four, Xmen, everybody. Wonder Man (after time) was able to resist because he is part ionic energy. Nudge can only take over your mind if her will is stronger than yours. Purple Man has only been resisted by prep and special cases like Wonder Man.

When Doom used Purple Man to take over the world, he amped Purple Man's powers; PM was not at his baseline level. And Daredevil has resisted Purple Man in the past.

Not Really. Doom is a master of Science and Magic not to mention he did the amping himself so of course he prepped a counter.

@Cochise: Been a long time since i read it but i don't think doom increased the potency of his power. Doom merely broadcast his powers to a greater degree. Purple man usually can't control so many people at that great of range. But i don't think he increased the strength of his controlling ability. and Daredevil could only resist him because he is blind which makes no sense.

dude you are out of you mind. PLENTY of people with way less will power than The Dark Knight have been able to resist Purpleman.

Here are scans of Kingpin, Daredevil, Doctor Doom, and even Jessica Jones resisting this D list loser. Bats might not even wast his time and just send Alfred to take care of this guy.

@AllmightyJackson: I've been out of my mind for years and don't plan on going back in it. nevertheless i don't post half the story to make my point. Kingpin and Doom knew Purple Man was coming and had planned for it. Jessica Jones had a telepathic block in place. And DD is blind. If you notice PM keeps telling him to look at him. So either you were not aware of these things or you were lying to make your point. Doesn't matter me. But unless Bats has prep or telepathic blockers or is blind he can't resist it.

Considering Batman has TO resistance to avoid being controlled by

Black Mask magic TP

Poison Ivy pheromone mind control

Mad Hatter's brain wave mind control

He should be completely immune to standard Purple Man's control.

It takes bad and lazy writing to forget that Bruce deals with enemies that focus on heavy control.

Batman wins for two reasons.

Firstly there's his uncanny willpower. Batman has overcome many types of mind control whether it ivy mad hatter black mask joker venom scarecrow gas among others. He has the willpower to overcome Purpe Man.

Now in case pm power is physical not mental then that's even easier. If all it takes to control someone is to have them look at him, all Bruce has to do is simply turn off his visual lenses and operate on a sonar level. He used this tactic to defeat Count Vertigo.

Marvel Handbook says that Kilgrave's power is based on pheromones, but the fact that Doom was able to use him to take over the world suggests it's more likely telepathy. The scans are helpful. It could be argued that Doom's training in sorcery in addition to his will, helped him succeed. Kingpin is probably the more useful scan for purposes of this match.

Fisk was expecting Purple Man, which may have helped. Kilgrave also told Fisk to kill himself, which is something he would instinctively resist. If he had tried something milder, say: "Let me go and forget I was ever here" that might have been harder.

Batman does have a dynamic will and a good history with breaking mind control. I don't think he could just shrug off Kilgrave's influence without struggling, but I think he could break it. If Kilgrave played it smart and gave Batman little nudges ("I'm not a criminal," "I'm one of the good guys," "The Joker has trapped hostages in this bank vault, we need to open the door before they suffocate.") he might be able to keep it going for a while. But if he told Batman to kill himself, or to stand there and let himself (or an innocent) be killed, or something like that, I think Batman would break the control.

This could make for an interesting story. Kilgrave could run out onto a crowded street and tell everyone to "Kill Batman" or "Commit suicide" and Batman would be so distracted he could get away.

Ultimately though, Batman is going to figure Purple Man out, break his control, and put him away.

I'd bet on Batman. As it's been shown strong willed people have resisted his powers. Add to this Batman has experience with people like Ivy. He's likely already prepped for someone like him.

If he had time or the means to take over other people, this would be a dangerous fight.

If Bats brought his own people with him it would be a different fight.

Batman comes this close to killing himself and then proceeds to kick Killgrave's ass because that's what always happens.
