The example given is insubstantial, which has no target. Other advantages I'd include without concern include flight and elastic skin. Once DR and Invisibility are switchable I'd figure they would work.

And I just found the modifier stuck on jumper and possession in psionic powers, so it's at least somewhat valid. I suppose that answers my question. The "Why" is
probably worth some consideration.

I could see taking the Puppet limitation as well, and since it mentions Extended Duration, you can probably also reduce it, so that control lasts only seconds after you stop concentrating, instead of minutes
Mind control lets the subject attempt to break free whenever you try to get them to act against their principles, and I belive shooting comrades counts. That's the big objection. I might just have to tank the repeated attempts. Or find a version of cosmic that both does the job and doesn't make it cost 75 + points
