[edit] Powers?

Shouldn't there be a section detailing Purple Man's mind control powers? I ask because I came here to see how they worked myself. Not all forms of domination are alike. Does he use telepathy, a hypnotic voice, pheromones, eye contact, or some combination thereof? Do victims retain their personalities, or are they filled with the desire to please PM, or do they turn into mindless drones? Someone please detail.

[edit] Bisexual?

Just to cover my bases here...I added the possibly controversial category Fictional bisexuals to the Purple Man article. I base this on the second page in New Thunderbolts #17 that shows a flashhack of a shirtless purpleman pouring a glass of wine and captions from the point of view of Swordsman that say "especially after what was done to me. What he made me do... After a lifetime of debauchery how can I justify feeling debased?".

The indication from that to me is that Purple Man had used his powers to force Andreas Strucker to have sex with him. --ksofen666

checking the issue - you could be right or he could have got him to suck off a dog, it's impossible to tell - our guesswork is OR. On that basis I have removed the tags, put it back if you can find a better source. --Fredrick day 09:26, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Dd4purpleman.PNG

Image:Dd4purpleman.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
