PERMISSIONS.

Max has mind control powers -- what does this mean? Well, it means that he sometimes mentally "pushes" people's minds to persuade them to do what he wants.

He can also erase and implant memories, as well as control multiple people's minds at once. Whenever he uses his power, he gets a nosebleed. Using it on a lot of people at once results in more extreme bleeding (eyes/ears/mouth), but that's not relevant to this post. This post is to basically opt in or plot or clarify or whatever the hell you want to do!

I won't have him use his ability on anyone without permission even if you do post here, so worry not! But this is a general opt-in, I won't spring anything on anyone, nothing bad happens if you don't fill this out. But it's helpful. Most of this stuff also may never ever come up, but if you are interested in any of it for plotting reasons let me know. Further details on his range and limitations can be found in his application.

As an example, Max has never been able to control Wonder Woman, though he did erase her memory of him. Also feel free to include any thought processes/mental disorders that may make it harder for him to exert control, and also his power can't affect AIs/cyborgs.) <font face="impact">Is there anything he just CAN'T make them do?</font> (Example: He wasn't able to make Superman kill.) <font face="impact">Are you open to him pushing your character's mind?</font> <font face="impact">If so, in what ways would they be most vulnerable to manipulation?</font> <font face="impact">Are you open to him erasing/implanting memories (if so, what kind?)?</font> <font face="impact">Is there anything you <i>don't</i> want him pushing for/mentioning ever?</font> <font face="impact">Are you open to him pushing other characters for information on your character?</font>

I THINK that's it, but if I'm missing anything, feel free to elaborate!

Can your character be affected by mind control? I'm really conflicted on this; Zatanna was able to completely boot J'onn out of her mind even while being unconscious and affected by outside sources, but she was shown as having forgotten Max. Presumably, if he focused on just her and put a lot of effort into it, he could! Once she's aware of something like this having happened, though, she'll take necessary precautions to shield her mind.
Is there anything he just CAN'T make them do? Getting her to hurt or betray her friends would be difficult, depending on the extremity.
Are you open to him pushing your character's mind? Sure!
If so, in what ways would they be most vulnerable to manipulation? She's most vulnerable when it comes to her relationships with other people. Like most mages in the DCU, she has a track record of all the people she becomes particularly close to dying or using her. Plant the seed, the rest will follow.
Are you open to him erasing/implanting memories (if so, what kind?)? Maybe! If it's toward a specific end, I can assume some sort of fluke in her mental defenses.
Is there anything you don't want him pushing for/mentioning ever? Nah, there's nothing sacred!
Are you open to him pushing other characters for information on your character? Knock yourself out.

TL;DR. :(

It seems like Max's memory alteration works differently than his mind control, since he can't control Diana either but was able to make her forget him? So I'm totally cool with him not being able to control Zee (or having to focus super hard) -- however you end up wanting to do it if ever applicable!

The latter is fine, if you ever have want or need. I ain't fussy. :)
