Hypnotism

Not to be confused with Hypnosis.

Hypnotism manipulates the mind of its targets. This is usually done to make the victims of Hypnotism do as the user says. Devices like the Hypno Machine can affect multiple targets at once. Because of this, some Villains may build their own Hypno Machines to control the minds of thousands of people at once. This is a tactic many SMCE Villains use in their Evil Schemes that the equally as SMCE Good Guys must stop by destroying the mind-controlling device.

Relations
Mind Control: This superpower is normally employed by a machine rather than a person. It also has a much wider range over its targets than Hypnotism.

Soul Possession: It strips the target of their ability to act freely in a similar style to Hypnotism. At times, it can be harder to break out of this superpower's effect than one that puts the target under a simple trance.
