Ok, this is how I plan to play him:
He is a unsure, "boy", which got powers he don't quite understand. He got potential to become a great telekinesis user, but currently, his powers, and his abilities to use them are too weak. And the mind reading thing can be dropped. But controlling others, I don't think that's a too powerful thing. He doesn't use any armour, and must therefore use telekinesis to parry a attack. So, in addition to mentaly blocking a swipe, he can therefore enter the mind of the attacker and delay the attack for some seconds, enought for him to get out of the swing. And to put a thought into someone for a while can be a fun, and not a too powerful skill.

Regarding his weakness, I designed him to be a potential Jean Gray, in the way that even if he is powerful, he is also a very weak person. He cannot controll himself, and might end up hurting the ones closest. And the emotional consept is from Teen-Titans. In one episode, Starfire and the white girl switch bodies, and they have to learn to use their new power. And Starfire constantly blow things up because she cannot controll her emotions. So, in a battle, if he starts to lose faith, he is suddenly helpless. He requires a exceptionelly ability to consentrate and keep your emotions away.
So, he is a very weak character, which is going to develop over time.
