Kings Of Men

The Kings of Men are a specific type of human Psychics who have the power to reach out and network with other human minds. The Kings of Men are themselves mostly Psychic, with some of them developing strong psychic powers. However, they all share one thing in common, a desire to connect with and unify others of their own kind. 
The Kings of Men are the founders of the Kingdom of Man and its leadership class. Beneath them are the Knights who enact their will, and the various Companies, Corps, and more which make up the bulk of the Kingdom's internal organization.
== Power Over Mankind: ==
The signature power of the Kings of Men is their ability to issue verbal commands which other humans find almost impossible to resist. This power of Command allows them to 'program' other humans simply by speaking to them (although the target must understand what the King is saying for the Command to be effective). 
Humans, even Supernatural ones, will find it almost impossible to resist these Commands. Even worse, if a human does successfully resist a Command, the Command may linger in the psyche, rising again at a later date to force the target to carry out the King's orders. 
Alterhumans, human Mutants, Human hybrids and other semi-humans can still be affected by a King of Men. The target thus affected is fully in possession of their mental faculties, but they find themselves unable to resist carrying out the Command. For most people, being forced to do something against their will is quite traumatic.
If a person resists the Command they may be able to get around it by way of semantics. For instance, if a King issues a Command to a nearby person to take a swing at their opponent, the hapless person may be able to get around the Command by swinging a wiffl bat at them. Obviously, this is relative and if the King obviously intended for something to be done a certain way that will make it harder to trick the Command. But it can be done. 
In the event that the target is also being mind-controlled by another force, the Command of the King will usually win out, either erasing or subverting the alien 'programming.' The bond between the Kings of Men and all humans is very strong and most alien powers won't be able to compete with something like that.
