MJ, just because Peter thinks it's night time and goes to sleep every time you throw a blanket over his head doesn't mean the same thing will work on everyone.

The Newspaper Spider-Man sure is brutal to its villains. Ripping off chunks of skin, punching them clear across the horizon, firing a length of pipe into their throat, etc.

Kilgrave's face in that final panel makes me imagine he's just gonna kneel there with the blanket over him, so baffled as to what the gently caress she is thinking that he just stays still and says nothing.

actually, didn't someone say that's how it worked at one point? nsm loves dredging up ancient continuity.

also, there's no reason why mj would be aware of this fact, which makes it all the more likely.

the only things luke has done in this arc have been destroying a car, breaking doors, and punching nsm in the head. he didn't even punch peter very much by team-up standards.

of course, most of what peter has accomplished was piggyback rides.

It turns out that Purple Man has zero sense of object permanence.

Probably just something like the blanket muffles his voice and stops it working because you can't hear the sound magic clearly. Though the rasping wheeze that he should have after a decent hit to the larynx should do that anyway.

Maybe she's just a really big believer in "out of sight, out of mind".

I'm guessing it'll be the blanket blocking Killgrave's woo-woo "pheromone" powers from floating off his body to the people around him.

I love this. MJ saves the day with a sucker punch, and then everyone stands around patting each other on the back and wondering what they should do next while the villain lies there recovering from the sucker punch, his limitless mind control powers only a syllable away.

Luke even being like, "I'll punch him in the head to make sure he doesn't mind control us and, I don't know, make us jump off the building," and then MJ being like, "no, wait! I have a more elaborate and failure-prone plan!" is the cherry on the cake.

The blanket is just a plastic tarp, an airtight plastic tarp. The lack of air will send Kilgrave into a hibernation state and then he can be safely shipped back to his home planet.

His entire ploy was a result of a lack of sleep and crankiness.

Pheromones are the midichlorians of Purple Man lore. He is purple, and everyone who can see him does what he says. That's the rules. It's inexplicable, and that's part of what makes it cool and creepy.

"Excuse me?"

"... *sigh* you're thinking about Cloak. Like from Cloak and Dagger."
"Oh, I thought you loo

They hold a mirror up to Kilgrave while he's covered by the sheet and he faints because he thinks he's seen a ghost.

Then they just have to carry his unconscious body to the police, and Peter (who also fainted) back to his apartment and tuck him into bed.
