Heroes for Hire (2011 series) #11

At the Raft, Killgrave the Purple Man has taken control of Shroud’s and Elektra’s minds and is commanding the latter to kill the former….

At the Yancy Street ruins, Brady Briedel decides to use the name Monster that people are calling him; he realizes that his exposure to Mr. Fear’s gas has made him something fearsome that manifests himself as the viewer’s greatest fear. He walks through the rubble, onlookers seeing him as a giant rat, a fire burning out of control, a clown, gloating over what he had done to the two superheroes Gargoyle and Paladin. Misty Knight arrives and under her touch the petrified Gargoyle resumes his fleshly form and Paladin recovers a bit from his beating. They warn her about the new monster that adapts its form for its prey. Misty borrows a stun gun from Paladin and goes out hunting for it because she is Control, the one in charge….        

At the Raft, Elektra is holding her sai at Shroud’s throat when she suddenly turns on Killgrave, giving him a beating. She revives a dazed Shroud who wants to know how she overcame Killgrave’s pheromones; she held her breath. (“For five minutes?” “I’m a ninja.”) Killgrave sneaks away, heading to a remote part of the building…which collapses, sending him and the rubble into the river….

On Yancy Street, Misty Knight searches for the Monster who is creeping up behind her. She turns and sees him as her greatest fear…the child she lost because it was never real. The child Briedel panics and runs away into the ruins. Paladin comforts her and the three heroes set out in search of others who need help….

On the far side of the Hudson River, Killgrave pulls himself from the water, rests a moment, then starts laughing….
