Kilgrave embodies the human evilness

He is neither a monster, nor an alien, nor a sentient robot. Kilgrave is a human, he is vulnerable to anything a human is, except he can prevent being affected by controlling others. His main purpose is to get to Jessica, but a lot of his cruel actions have nothing to do with his purpose. He told a stranger to throw hot coffee on his face for almost no reason,and he made a man stand in front of a fence forever, making a habit out of torturing incidental characters just because they stood in his way.

However, he never looks and feels like anything else than a human, a horrible human being: selfish, manipulating, remorseless, sadistic, and obsessed. He is obsessed with Jessica Jones, claiming that he loves her. And when Jessica rejects him, he wants to get revenge. He orders a young girl to kill her parents, so he can reach Jessica.

A lot of incidental characters end up killing themselves by his order. He usually demands people to kill themselves because this is Jessica's vulnerability. He is a psychopath with the power to make people do what he says.

Kilgrave is more like an evil tyrant, rather than a supervillain from comic books (make no mistake, the original source is honored!).
