Control in the avengers:
Fury: "NASA didn't authorize Selvig to test the Tesseract"
Hill:"If we can't control the Tesseract's energy, there may not be a minimum safe distance"
Councilman: "You're dealing with forces you can't control"
Fury: You ever been in a war, Councilman? In a firefight? Did you feel an over abundance of control?"
Thor (to Loki): "Who controls the would be king?"
Nick Fury: How desperate am I? You threaten my world with war. You steal a force you can't hope to control. You talk about peace and you kill cause it's fun. You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad that you did.
Tony Stark: It's good to meet you, Dr. Banner. You're work on anti-electron collisions is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster.
Tony Stark: You know, I've got a cluster of shrapnel, trying every second to crawl its way into my heart.
[pointing to the energy in his chest plate]
Tony Stark: This stops it. This little circle of light. It's part of me now, not just armor. It's a terrible privilege.
Bruce Banner: But you can control it.
Tony Stark: Because I learned how.
Bruce Banner: It's different.
Thor: My people want nothing but peace with your planet.
Nick Fury: But you're not the only people out there, are you? And, you're not the only threat. The world's filling up with people who can't be matched, they can't be controlled.
Steve Rogers: Like you controlled the cube?
Thor: You speak of control, yet you court chaos.
Bruce Banner: It's his M.O., isn't it? I mean, what are we, a team? No, no, no. We're a chemical mixture that makes chaos. We're...we're a time-bomb.
Tony Stark: I need you to get to that engine control panel and tell me which relays are in overload position.
Not to forget all the mind control scepter and it working on some people (though not Starks's chest) ...and there are probably many more.
So the other controls Loki, Loki controls clint (and Selvig mostly) and manipulates the avengers while being a prisoner. The council tries to control Fury who tries to control the Avengers. Banner gets some control over the Hulk and everyone tries to control the Tessaract.
