This is an aerosol version of Hypnotic Control. The hero's body can create and emit chemicals capable of altering a target's behavior. These chemicals vaporize instantly on contact with air and are received by the target's nose. The complexity of the commands can vary with the rank of the Power. The hero can readily affect anyone within twenty feet of him. The Power rank decreases -1CS with each additional twenty feet.

The Power cannot affect those unable to smell it. This includes would-be targets who are upwind, behind a force-field, have their own air supply, don't breathe, or breathe but have no sense of smell. The last example includes a hero with the power of Lung Adaptability.
