Mind-controlling transformation suit with a catch!

Of course, it was not just an ordinary transformation suit! No, actually the suit also allowed the wearer to exert mind control on the unsuspecting population. Unfortunately that power came with a catch: when the wearer was transformed into another human being, the suit would only allow to control 1 or 2 persons at most in close proximity. That limitation was due the limited power supply of the suit. But this also meant that should the wearer turn into a simpler shape like a puddle of water or even a bacteria they would eventually be able to control a continent or even the world...
