Super-massive black holes 'control' galaxies, and our own Milky Way is no exception.
It seems most if not all galaxies have one or more large black holes at their center. The gravity is what the stars orbit around and it holds the galaxy together, you might say.
In the early universe when a lot of things (suns, gas, dust) were falling into the center, enormous energy was produced, resulting in what are called quasars.
If you want to know where in the sky our galaxy's black hole is, look in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius. This time of year it is in the South or Southwest after sunset.

It controls the galaxies. It pulls them in with the black hole's massive gravitational force.

Controls the existance and support of the galaxies.
The entire galaxy not only depends on the black hole to nurture it, but the galaxy revolves around it, so without such a gravitational field the galaxy would not exist as we see it today!

Hi. Black holes may have been the source of the original gravity that pulled most galaxies together.

It has no control over anything but it's gravitational pull sucks surrounding things in

a black hole doesn't control anything, it just sucks things in....
