I think Cate Dunlap's (Gen V) telepathy was pretty OP. In the show pretty much everyone knew about her powers, so the hardest part would be to make everyone forget (through telepathy) you had any powers at all. If you could accomplish that you could pretty much create your own utopian/dystopian world from behind the scenes.
Using telepathy there are endless ways you can amass a fortune. Once you have money you can buy influence. With both money and influence you can begin getting meetings with the powerful people currently pulling the strings. A simple handshake greeting, and now those powerful people are doing your bidding.
Even if shaping the world isn't your bag, with telepathy the world is pretty much your oyster.
This is a good point. One of the complications of the superpowers is they seem to come up at various ages but an ideal thing would be to like get a math degree with a strong liberal arts background or maybe philosophy or such since you powers are main thing but you want a good general grounding. The mind control would be very hard to not just cheat but if you look at deeps it would be easy to blow off studies for adventures at sea.
