i believe the most powerful super power is mind control, because you can make people believe you have the other super powers, see you using those powers, and then do the thing you needed the super power to do, before forgetting they actually did it themselves

    Mind control can't change your sex (or just make it feel better, with fast recovery), make you live longer, or help out when you're having a rough time on the toilet.

    It just turns everyone into your slave. You're a villain by default.

    More importantly, it's super boring. People with mind control powers can have whatever they want—materially—with basically zero effort just by forcing people to give them stuff. There's no struggle, and if there is any, it's just you sweating or getting a headache while staring off into the distance.

    Is there a hero with mind control?

    It’s a very interesting take to have a good person struggle with removing another persons agency to try and do good.

    Professor X, perhaps?

    (Though, if you get into conspiracy theories, it might be questionable whether he's actually a hero. There are questions about whether or not he's ever used mind control on any of his 'students'.)
