Goverments across the world?Ok here is a dumb question for people to think over.
What kind of Oversight would let a Super with a Lust flaw ever get a Mind Control power?
I think most of us agree that goverment if not incomptent are just to big to worry about billy or any single one civilion.
Keep in mind that billy is a rare case and some already want to take his powers away.
Normal heroes are trained and watched within the inisitive.
Billy get nearly no oversight because he is legaly speaking allowed to get powers but is the first case of someone not enrolling in the inisitive.
Because villians have mind control powers?Really, you might as well ask why they'd let ANYONE get a mind control power. Yeah, it can definitely be used for rape, but it could also be used for murder, theft or any other crime you can think of. Not really many ethical uses for mind control.
Villians who dont care if it is legal?
Sometimes you fight fire with fire.
If you "lose" the game you have karma brainwash your family to sit down while they take you in for a chat.
And you end up a brainwashed janitor who is a slave to mistress.
It isnt fun to be on the recieving end of mind control.
It can be used for good.
The entire point of the inisitive is to prevent more supervillians.
As for why the goverments allowed for mind control research in the first place.
Power.
Everyone who has it wants more of it(or atleast most people) and the ability to mind control others is among the strongest tools of power.
As you noticed there are some limets with the mind control in superpowered.
1: Mind control require repeated sessions.
2: It seem to be required to be physicaly close to the target.
3: When in drone mode there brains follow a preprogrammed routine.
This is fine for sex but worthless for science, mathathic's or other value jobs that require a working brain.
4: While not in game yet there are people looking for mind controled victems(it is why we have subtle mind control tools)
So it is risky.
Now add to this you need to have the genetic advantage of the drug working.
Then those people have a limet on how many powers they can get.
Billy is the execption because he has no known limet.
In short.
It is entirely believeable.
Remember in the intro they explaint that pandora box had been opened.
And now they are doing damage control.
