This is all pretty much as I expected, very good thoughts.
Didn't think of the thing about weather control, I guess it depends on exactly how the power mechanics go. (certainly, I don't think most *superpowers* will come with weird butterfly consequences, but also with a big-scale power like that, once you save people from a hurricane once, that's going to be all you can do for the rest of your life, because people will hate you for anything less. To be honest, unless you have perfect magical consequence-free control over all weather always and always exercise it, I'm sure people will hate you. Being publicly known as "the weather-control guy" on a large scale means people will blame you for every weather-related death you don't prevent, because people are dicks like that. There will also be people who want to weaponize you and so forth, and weather-control is not that good at keeping the government from drugging you up in a van somewhere. So yeah, weather control is out, unless it's the shitty local kind that you can just use to win fights, which is also kinda trash)
(Edit: I didn't expect the prime minister/etc citizenship thing, but in this context, it's kinda trivia on the "who wants to be a politician" thought)
