6. There are numerous visual references to Kilgrave's comic book alias the Purple Man, especially when it comes to the lighting in scenes that hint towards his presence.

7. Not to mention all the purple outfits the character wears.

8. And while never going fully purple, Kilgrave's veins briefly change colour when he's injected with the drugs to increase his powers.

9. Now going by the name Trish, Trish's identity as the comic character Patsy Walker is hinted at pretty early on when a fan drops a comic.

15. Not forgetting a kid seen running through a park dressed as Captain America.
