I like your idea of it being in stages for Character A Doc. And Mallet, it's definitely the "Big fans of A." They will generally be more susceptible to A, and A can't really remotely mind control them. Actually, if it's possible to simulate, it's less the "become my slave" mind control and more "Wow this person is perfect" mind control. In the sense that you'll be far more susceptible to doing what they ask you, and you'll be more inclined to follow what A says. I make the distinction because in an ideal situation, the power would still allow you some freedom of control. For example, if the character thinks doing something is in A's best interests, even though A doesn't think so, they would do it "for A's sake." I don't know how to properly model that, so I was assuming Mind Control is the simplest. The PRE attack thing seems to work better now that I think about it. As for B, you're right. It's just a Transform power. Wow, I kind of missed that. I think the Telepathy to discover what they can change would be great. And I've already got some ideas just rereading the 6E on Transform Mind. Perhaps a No Range Requires Touch Transform will work best. I don't think B can erase power usage from their powers, though forgetting how to use your powers is possible. In that case it should just add a "Requires a Roll" limitation to the power they're "dememorizing". For hand to hand skills, should I simulate "B is taking away your memories of training" by decreasing CVs for fighting? Also, would this be multiple transforms in a multipower? A compound power? Or a linked power for B? It seems like it should be able to do a lot, but B would have to pick what they actually want to do.

How would I go about creating the effects for these two characters I'm attempting to recreate in HERO? Character A: A character who has a natural ability that when you look at them, you'll slowly become more willing to obey their orders. This extends to looking at videos and pictures of them. My idea was to make a Cumulative Mind Control power that probably costs no END, now I'm just trying to figure out how the power would "activate" when someone looks at them, and how to simulate "it counts if you're even looking at them through a photograph or a TV". Preferably I'd like the images outside of real life observation be at a lower strength of mind control though. Character B: This character is able to take memories and emotions away from someone by touching them and then convert them to edible consumable objects. If they consume these objects, they'll regain those memories and emotions, and more importantly, if someone else consumes them, they gain those memories and emotions as well. This character takes a bit of time to take out the deeper memories, but could take surface level ones at an instant. As for effects in combat, the most prominent one would be twofold, removing any aggression towards them, and removing memories of how to do certain combat moves (they forget how to fight). The more beneficial ones include enhancing someone with memories and training, or making someone feel aggression towards this person (the last part I don't even think needs simulating unless it counts as a CSL towards that specific target or something.). I'm assuming this is some kind of Suppression with a Focus that's Usable on Others, but I'm not sure what I'm Suppressing exactly. These two have been slightly complicated to me. Any help would be appreciated!
