Dominant Genetics

Capabilities
A user given ‘’’Dominant Genetics’’’ (DGU) by birth or by injection will automatically inherit the traits granted by their Genetic Traits. These traits will override, or mutate, their existing genetics. It is a variation of Genetic Traits but differs in its ability to override other genetic traits. Dominant Genetics are the opposite of Power Inheritance and is not to be confused with Genetic Form.

Applications

 * Dominant Genetic powers may be applied to offspring via the mating process: If a parent with bug-like appearances and no powers mates with a DGU with dominant genetics in physical appearance and flight - the offspring will take on the physical appearance of the DGU as well as be granted the ability of flight.
 * Dominant Genetic powers may be injected into users: This may be a scientific serum granting users DG powers, or it may via an offensive attack such as a tail stinger or fangs that inject the user with DG genes. The impacted user will undergo a transformation where they then inherit the DG of the injector.
