I can't see the mind control - can someone point it out to me?
-there is no dialogue, and I don't see anything specific on the art source
-it can't be the eyes because hinata always has weird eyes
-and while the phoenix force has been known to possess jean grey, it's also done things like put the original in a cocoon and make a perfect copy for itself to inhabit, ie, not possession, or even corruption

This is pretty obviously not Hinata's normal behavior. I think the evil smile and dark phoenix costume pretty handily make this qualify for "corruption", which is enough for Mind Control.

a lot of fan pictures have characters acting out of character without any mind control....and unless we're going to say any picture of jean as Phoenix or anyone dressed in Phoenix style counts as mind control, and I don't think that something we're prepared to do, I think it needs more [not that I'm a moderator or have any special authority from which to judge]
especially, as I pointed out, that canonically, a lot of times when it seems to be Jean as Phoenix, Jean has actually been stored away and its JUST the Phoenix, not a corrupted jean

She's clearly casting tons of fire with a malicious grin on her face. I think it's reasonable to infer that this is Hinata possessed by the phoenix force. Just because it's conceivable to imagine an interpretation of the image where this isn't mind control doesn't mean it doesn't belong here. You could make up all sorts of interpretations of an image where it isn't mind control even when all reasonable conclusions would be that it obviously is.

now the fire, I think that's a actually a pretty decent point - I mean, that still doesn't dismiss the fact that the Phoenix force could do exactly what it did to jean and make a hinata copy, but at least it does suggest that if it is hinata, it's doing things beyond her scope and indicates possession
