Corrected entry: When Johnny takes the Fantastic 4's Powers to counter Von Doom, he's completely capable of controlling each member's powers. However, in the times before when he's accidentally taken their powers, he has been completely incapable of controlling them (such as when he takes Reed's ability to stretch during the London Eye scene, he lays on the floor unable to stand).

Correction: Yes, because when he first took their powers accidentally he had no experience using them. When he takes all of their powers to counter Von Doom he has had experience using everyone else's powers. Also, as you mention, he first gets their powers accidentally; when going against Von Doom he has a specific mission in mind and is highly motivated to focus the powers on the task at hand.
