Purple man well if you want to go all way extreme about it, it's the classic build and even works with the fluff:
Kitsune Fey Sorcerer (The dc of your enchantment spell will be pretty ridiculous) , add spell focus and greater spell focus, to make your players cry, at level 15 take spell perfection with your favorite enchantment spell to double the DCs taking the saves to the stratosphere. Just be aware tho, the dc of the Kitsune fey sorcerer enchantment spells most of them which are save or suck, will be so high that your players will have more than 75% chance of failing a save in most cases. Unless you have paladins or divine caster with divine protection feat.

Assuming that you follow the sorcerer idea with fey blood, he could have discovered a tropical plant with a berry that ads to his enchantment spells DCs or increases his charisma. Mashes it and covers himself with it daily, hence the purple color to his skin.
Similar to the Purple Man's MO, in that the chemicals he was bathed with give him the pheromone control. Along with the feats Eltacolibre mentioned above, everything and anything you can add to make those spell save DCs insurmountable.
What's in the box? |
I would think that Psion telepath would be a cool way of simulating the effects of purple man. I would even consider prestige-ing into Thrall Herder... That way you have that: TOTAL SLAVE TO ME! aspect.
That and you can flavor text PP as Purple Points and when you augment your powers you are putting more PURPLE into them!

I know! I don't know how I feel about the 10th Doctor being a psychic rapist... Purple Man- while a VERY cool villain using skeevy powers in their OBVIOUS sexualized manner- uggs me out! lol.
But I am interested in seeing what they do... Who knows, maybe he will be some sorta sympathetic broken figure (like they did with Kingpin).

It was ok. I wasn't crazy about the portrayal of the Kingpin. They TOTALLY make him more relatable as a character, but mostly that is because the majority of my prior experience with KP is from the 90s Spiderman cartoon. That guy just seemed like a fat Lex Luthor and I wasn't really prepared for the crazy impulsiveness that they added to the mix.
Otherwise the show is pretty solid, and made me MORE excited for AKA Jessica Jones (not my favorite title, but idk how else you would go about it).

Ohh, sorry for the late reply, Elrawien, but from what I remember of Mesmero is the fact he liked to hypnotize people and create almost too real illusions, which makes me lean towards a wizard who favors those schools and sorts of magic above all else. Although, the mesmerist might fit the bill too, when that book comes out. Not sure it'd cover the illusions as well, but certainly the entrancing part.

Ya, the Purple Man is one of the most heinous villains in the Marvel Universe.
One of the Four Aces in the Wilds Card universe, the Envoy, had a similar power. Anyone standing in the same room would agree with whatever he said.
When he was brought forth to testify before the Un American Activities Committee, he was put in a sealed transparent box.
