I suspect someone like Loki or Kaluu could either get around that or find a way to make it a horrible curse rather than a blessing with relatively little effort.

I suppose the Purple Man is at least smarter than Bendis' other pet villain, the Hood, who went on a spree antagonizing Dr. Strange and a bunch of other magicians with less power but also less compassion and far fewer qualms about poetic revenge. (How at least Daimon Hellstrom hasn't delivered the latter to his richly deserved final fate is a big honking contrived mystery to me...)

Idk if he’s really a pet villain; he only really appeared in Bendis’s writing with the original Alias and now this. Besides that he showed up for a few pages in New Avengers to get punched out by Luke and in DD: End of Days where Punisher shot him.

He also showed up in the new Daredevil series. So that's, like, 5 things right there.

Really, he doesn't show up that often. I'm not sure where the "Bendis' pet villain" thing that other people are bringing up comes from.

I suppose he occupies that headspace for me because he's such an iconic villain for Bendis' stories dealing with Jessica Jones. He hasn't appeared so many times that I want to get a restraining order against a fictional character like I do with the Hood.
