Quite simply, if you could control peoples actions and thoughts then you wouldn't need any other super powers. You could get the strongest superhero to do the heavy lifting, the smartest superhero to do your end of year taxes, and the most cunning superhero to make loads of cash for you.
Or you could just make everyone pay you 1% of their income every month and tell them to be REALLY happy about it! Times 5bn or so people, that's a lot of cash to keep you going. If you wanted to do some fun stuff, you could make everyone believe you were invisible whenever you wanted (some people already have this 'skill' except it's all the time - especially in corporate world)
You could make every woman on earth believe you were the greatest guy that ever existed, and every guy believe that you were the shining example of a perfect role model.
Basically, since true power is in the mind, thats got to be the place to start!

...by the way... i forgot to say... i order you to agree with me!
Would be fun for a while but I think you could end up being quite lonlely.
I mean it would be hard to have a stimulating conversation with anyone when you could just make the magree with you.
I guess you could just not 'do' mind control if you wanted to get someones real views and have stimulating conversations.
... but would get just so boring after the first 1000 years or so. Plus you would have to watch all the people you care about grow old and die, whilst you went on and on and on and on... not good
