Damn, it's good to be David Tennant. The man formerly known as the Doctor is currently starring in the second season of ITV's Broadchurch, and come later this year he'll be dipping his toes into the superhero world, too. Tennant has joined the cast of Netflix's upcoming Marvel series A.K.A. Jessica Jones as the villainous "Killgrave," otherwise known as the Purple Man, Marvel announced Monday. The character was first introduced in the Daredevil comics as a Communist spy tasked with stealing a nerve gas from the U.S. Army. During his escape, he was engulfed in the gas, which turned his skin and hair purple and gave him the power to control the will of other people. He eventually used his powers on Jessica Jones when she was the superhero Jewel, making her his personal servant.
