10 Most Brutal Villain Beatdowns In All Of Comics
6. Luke Cage Vs The Purple Man - New Avengers #3
If there is any supervillain who deserves to be beaten into a bloody disgusting pulp, it's Zebediah Killgrave, The Purple Man. Hands down. And how sweet it is to watch when Luke Cage comes in to do the beating.
During a massive breakout that the New Avengers were trying to quell, Killgrave had escaped and come face to face with Luke. Seeing as how this was the man who mentally, physically and sexually abused his wife for over a year, Luke is practically giddy to have him all to himself. Killgrave seemingly gets the upper hand when he orders him to go kill the Avengers and then himself... until he realizes that he'd been drugged in jail, leaving him powerless.
Then Luke Cage tears him apart.
It's easily one of the most brutal beatings in all of comics, as Luke doesn't let up for a moment. By the time Captain America manages to stop him from killing the poor bastard, Killgrave likely wishes he had finished the job, as his face now resembled a burst grape.
