10 random people are selected. Kilgrave gets to infect them with his virus and Loki gets to tap them with his mind-gem staff.
Kilgrave tells them to raise their right hand but keep their left hand completely still, Loki tells them to raise their left hand but keep their right hand completely still.
His powers are exactly the same in practice. They just used virus instead of pheromones so they could intro his science parents and give him a boost later on.
Didn't the victims say they couldn't stop themselves despite not wanting to commit the acts he forced them to do? I know that dude he had staring at a wall for twelve hours looked like he didn't want to be there. It always came off as him controlling their bodies more than their minds, though I might be wrong.
Although every time jessica described it, she did refer to it as mind control
Again, pretty sure the words "mind control" were stated and remember when blondie tried to kill herself, she said that's all she could think of while under his influence.
People seem to be aware they're being mind controlled by him; but lack the ability to resist.
edit: The Marvel MCU wiki notes "mind control" and in the screenrant article about the character it notes "mind control". Didn't check others, those two popped up first.
Actually, there was also that scene that he forced the entire police station to believe that dudes murder was a big joke. That is definitely mind control
Yeah and here is the thing it didn't seem like during what was happening everyone was actively fighting against doing it. It only seems after it wears off or they have completed their task suddenly they realize what they did. This is why it took Hope a few moments before she freaked out over shooting her parents, and why she had the creepy ass smile while doing it.
It's not just body manipulation like the "puppet man" from Heroes.
If you want to compare overall potency of power Kilgrave was able to effect many people at once, while the gem couldn't. At least that we know of. But even before his upgrade he could effect multiple people at once.
