An umbrella ability that is often linked with Telepathy, this power grants a superhuman the ability to command specific creatures to follow their orders. This may be done purely mentally, or verbally. Oftentimes this has some sort of limit. If you can control apes, for example, monkeys and other primates may be immune or even enraged by your attempts to control them.
This power may come with others that pair with the control of the subject including: shared or borrowed senses, mental communication, presence sense, and similar that allow a further degree of management and control.
