Nah. Telekinesis is way better. With a little creativity, it can be used to do anything, include stop attacks and allow you to fly.
There is no greater super power than mind control

Just because your perception of time speeds up eventually doesn't mean that it wouldn't seem like a long time when you are launched into space. Assuming you even land near another civilization, by then however much time you spend there would seem like only an instant.poiumty said:
And you completely ignored all of the other points made in that article.
As great as it may be if I had a choice between mind control and say teleportation I'd choose teleportation no question. Yes, it would be cool but it's also immoral and if you're controlling the way everyone around you acts then I think that would get incredibly annoying. It would be fake so I have no interest in it myself.
Ever played Second Sight?
The mind control bits were pretty good, except you were as VULNERABLE AS A BABY while doing them.
Seriously, I hated using mind control if there was more than one guard around, because you don't even have a chance to recover if someone finds you in a trance.

No need for power t have all powers. The BEST super power would be Infallibility. If you cant be wrong you could simply say I can fly and you would be able to because you cannot be wrong. you could basically do whatever you want because you would be god. and THAT is check and mate!
Assuming you have the mental capabilities to control A LOT of people simultaneously it possibly ranks in 3rd in terms of super powers, does this include reading their minds first otherwise all it would take is a random stabbing or ANYTHING ELSE your weren't completely expecting to kill you.
Your along the right lines, mental aspects that would be useful, but I would like to say that I beleive Psychoportation would be much stronger than a mind control superpower
Mind control cant save you from a gun, and remember, mind control isnt something that you just do and forget (no pun intended). It follows two rules (maybe more):
1) You have to have CONSTANT focus and control over the person's mind. Oka, maybe you can do that and keep your mind on what youre doing iwth one guy. Now lets say you're stuck in the middle of a gang, thousands of guys. You gonna mind control ALL of them, at the same time, exerting all the mental strength required, while having your mind focus on your body too? I somehow doubt it.
2) it will wear off. That means that at different times, since you didnt just mind control everyone at once. Also, you have no idea when it will wear off, since the stronger the mind, the less time they'll be under control. So lets say you fall asleep, and the control wears off. Guess who's screwed.
Also, you're talking about radius, and thats gonna exert energy. You could kill yourself just trying to control someone, especially if they can fight back (center a piece of their mind away and defend, keeping some free thought that can be later called upon).
Best superpower is time control mixed with an incredible sense of intuition (spidy sense). you know if I sniper fired a bullet at you from a mile away, can freeze time, move, go the person and kill them.

His arguments dont work for mind reading. Sure, you can read the mind, but not control it. So... thats bascially you saying, "hey, that sniper a mile away is gonna kill me. I should stop him."Guy32 said:
Only it would be more like " Hey, that sni- ARG!" and hten you die. assuming they're even in your radius.
Complete control over matter down to the subatomic level. I can remake your brain to listen to my every command. Or turn it into jelly. And I have every power ever.
The "best" superpower is entirely relative; namely, because someone will always find a way around it. Mind control? Meet the one person on earth who can counter-read your mind.
Except for you could have invulnerability and (depending on how far you stretch that) never die. You can't control the world but you could be very very persistent.
The ultimate superpower is the ability to sense and manipulate energy with your mind. If you can do that, you can literally do anything. Mind control, control the chemical energy in the brain. Telekinesis, control the kinetic energy of an object and/or warp gravitational fields. Super-strength, ignoring tactile kinesis, you can still manipulate the chemical, kinetic, and potential energy in your body to synthesize as much strength as you need. Telepathy, sense the electrical and chemical energy in a persons mind. Need someone to die, combust them, break the bonds between their atoms, increase gravity, draw and quarter them with kinetic energy, choose an energy and turn it against them.Brawndo said:
It is the ultimate, because you can do anything with it. Even if it was limited to your sight-line, you would still basically be a god.
I agree. It's the most practical superpower for everyday life.
Don't like waiting in lines? I command you plebeians to step aside, I have things to do!
Tired of working for a living? Just go on down to the bank and demand as much cash as you need!
In trouble with the police? Make that douche bag neighbor of yours confess to your crimes, two birds one stone!
Plus Immortality eventually becomes more of a curse than a blessing. Whoopity-doo I can't die, too bad I'm going to outlive anybody I'll ever care about. Oh great, I fell in this pit like the guy from that movie and have to cut off my arm to escape, only my wounds keep healing when I try to get free, guess I'll just live here forever now.
Also, being able to manipulate matter and physics just takes the challenge out of everything. At least with mind control if you wanted a sandwich you had to make it yourself or deal with the mental strain of forcing someone else to make you one. If you can just materialize a sandwich out of nothing it's just boring.
