No, i still think that Aizen Sosuke's (from Bleach) 'total hypnosis' is much more potent.
Even if you know about it, you can never be sure of whats happeneing around you, you could be fighting an ally who also thinks theyre fighting an enemy, he could seem to be a good distance away and really be right behind you.
You just do something? Or did I make you think you did it?
Did I write this sentence? Or did I make it seem like somethings written here?
The effect is also permanent until the you come into contact with the blade that causes it, by which time youre likely to be dead.
Also having a healing factor situation similar to Deadpool's. He is immune to mental influence because his brain is contantly getting fried by his super cancer/healing factor cycle. Sure you would be batshit crazy, but thats not a bad thing.

I don't know, I think the greatest superpower would still have to be mind reading. I meann, if you're a powerful mind reader you can tell whenever anything is ever going to happen.
So mind reader + gun > mind control

Actually "invisibility + non-detection" is far superior. Try to control the mind of an assassin you can not detect, see, feel or hear.Brawndo said:
Why is your idea of immortality connected to "not feeling any pain"? Do you think that sun enveloping the whole planet earth, turning it into a ball of lava, is painless?poiumty said:

I'm gonna add my vote to the time manipulation thing. Obviously that means when you freeze time or slow it or whatever you can prevent your body from aging... Somehow. I dunno, it's a superpower. Plus, it'd just be awesome.
Mind control is great and all, but it only helps when people don't notice it. Lets assume that, given the limited capacity of any brain, you're going to have a limit on how many individuals you can control, a reasonable guessimate would be something like, 5 people under complete control, or about a hundred people under some kind of suggestive control, maybe you'd just have to establish this link once, drop in the suggestion, then leave them to their thing. Maybe at the apex of your power-trip, you could establish complete dominance over a single city (I assume that what you'd do, otherwise, what else would you use it for other than persuading people to do stuff, you can do that with good oration...)
Now, unlike in the movies, the government, and the army aren't stupid, so once they work out you're some kind of mind controller, rather than sending some dudes to stop you, they'll send their robotic pal, TALON-SWORDS. Mind controlled minions tend to be a lot less effective after they've been shot. Maybe they'll take pity, and use some kind of non-lethal ammunition on them, giving you at least a chance to fight back, but it's more likely they'll cut their losses and just kill everything that moves.

(And if you think you've got that one sussed out, there's stuff like the ULB [http://www.botjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/060712c_lg.jpg] and, of course, the MQ-9 Reaper [http://doctorbulldog.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/mq-9_armed.jpg])
Also, if the psuedo-science surrounding mind control is to be believed, a psionic blocking device could easily be created at home with through wire gauze or tin foil.
Best superpower is magentokinesis (control over magnetic fields, and by extension of this, electricity). Mind control is for people who aren't able to bring people to their way of seeing things without it. I don't think a lot of people really recognize the potency of this ability:
-The ability to short-circuit any electronic device.
-The ability to neutralize any generator. (nb, aside from batteries, almost all power sources rely on converting rotational movement of magnets into a electrical field)
-Protection from Energy Weapons (except sonic weapons, but I'd wouldn't classify them as energy weapons, and yes, you can bend EM beams with magnets.)
-Protection from lightning strikes (because, let's face it, if you're going to try and take over the universe, eventually you're going to piss off either Jesus, Zeus, Thor (the God, not the superhero, though they may be the same person? I'm not really into comics... I'll know when I see the movie ^^), or someone with a lightning gun)
-Limited protection against Projectile weapons (depending on the projectile in question, though a powerful enough magnetic field can effect stuff we wouldn't classical believe to be magnetic, such as frogs [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1vyB-O5i6E])
-With enough practice, the ability to reprogram magnetic and solid-state storage devices (so, Hard Disks, Floppy Disks, magnetic tape and USB pens)
-Flight ("It levitates bullet trains from Tokyo to Osaka. It levitates my desk, where I ride the saddle of the world. And it levitates... me!" ... ok, this is elaborated on with Magneto, but it's worth being on the list anyway, 'cause, come on, what sort of superhero/villain can't fly?)
-Limited control over the human mind. (magnetic fields have been proven to have an effect on the human brain)
It's like the best bits of all other superpowers combined! Without any of that magic or technobabble most superpowers need to kick-start them.

Close. The ultimate superpower is manipulation of reality. You can do literally anything.Lunar Shadow said:
Doesn't mean someone cant chain you to the bottom of the ocean and forget you or something similar.poiumty said:
But itd depend on the mind control, can you only do one person, do you need to touch them\is there a range etc.
I still think telekinesis you be awesome. Gah! The fridge didnt close fully and I...Just...Sat...Down
What it true that it's very powerful when you put it that way but what happen if someone created Magneto helmet (the helmet prevent any mind/psychic related thing from entering his mind). Also although it?s unlikely but what happen if that person who you trying to manipulate has huge amount of will power or is able to resist the mind powers in some way or another?

That is all I have to say, now just tell me where I can pick up my super power please.

You would also freeze to death as I assume all particles would stop and as physics has taught us, particles which are not moving are effectively at absolute zero, which would kill you! Huzzah for time manipulation!hopeneverdies said:
