[Jessica Jones] Was Kilgrave always a monster or did his parents' experiments twist his sense of morality?

Kilgrave wasn't always a monster.....


Children are monsters. 


Children are still developing morality. They're learning empathy, and the golden rule. They're learning cooperation, and quid pro quo. 


Kilgrave was a little boy who suddenly was unencumbered by the will of other people. Never had to share. Never had to compromise. No one to hold him accountable. No one to tell him what he was doing was wrong. Kilgrave went from living in our world, to living inside Grand Theft Auto. 


On some level, Kilgrave doesn't believe other people really exist. 


And why should he? Sure, They seem like they have their own desires, but with a mere utterance he can make them abandon their children, or jump off a building, or kill their parents. How real could these people really be inside? He's not cruel for doing that: he's generous for letting most of them live. 


And then there's Jessica. She was great to have---useful, pretty and strong. She was like an exotic pet. 


But then something amazing happened: she became real. Someone who could push back, who wasn't immediately absolutely compliant. 


It was intoxicating. 


In what had been a single player game for decades, Kilgrave had found a player 2. That's why he pursued her. Bought her childhood home. Spring her from jail. Had her followed. 


Don't you see? He was just trying to get her to play....


So no. Kilgrave wasn't born a monster. He's just behaving how anyone would if they were the only man on Earth.
