Mastermind Powerset-Puppetry

I suggested this wayyyy back when I first joined the forums, but here it is again with some improvements.

Puppetry (Mastermind Power set)

Puppets. Lifeless toys which are manipulated by others. The perfect minion for a budding Mastermind. These Puppets are loyal and obey your every single command. They may seem like toys, but in a villains hands, they are lethal

Level 1: Mannequin (Tier 1 pet)

You can summon up to three mannequins to do your bidding. These are basic wooden mannequins wield deadly claws which they use to eviscerate their foes. If you attempt to summon anymore while the maximum amount is present the power will fail.

Level 32: Master Puppetry

Your mastery of puppetry allows you to do more things with your puppets.
Recharge: Moderate

I appreciate the time and descriptions, but sorta sounds like a cross between a Mind Controller/Dominator and an Illusion Controller with three Tiers of Toy Henchies (not 'Pets'; 'Henchmen' for accuracy's sake). Since you only imply strings; wouldnt this be more accurately a Toy MasterMind set?

I like the core concept (especially if the puppets are creepy), but a MM with both a built-in Confuse and Hold sounds overpowered. I can solo my Mind Dom with just those two powers, plus my attacks.

Nice idea. Very creepy. Creepy is GOOD!

Love the puppet idea. Especially puppets that can fall apart and all of their body parts are weapons.
