The power to possess an unstable/irregular genetic code. Variation of Genetics and Dependency.

Also Called

• Irregular Genetics
• Malleable Genetics

Capabilities

The user's DNA is highly unstable and/or irregular, rendering it malleable and prone to manipulation. This can enable such things as the user being able to shapeshift, evolve, and/or mutate themselves at will, though it may come at a cost.

A common variant of this is "clone degeneration," in which a genetic clone of a being is either flawed or defective due to unstable DNA.

Applications

• Self-Evolution
  • Personal Mutation Manipulation
• Shapeshifting

Associations

• Clone
  • Modified Clone
• Dependency
• Genetics
• Super Soldier
• Superior Human Physiology
• Unique Physiology

Limitations

• The user's instability often comes with side effects, such as constant pain, Power Instability, and eventually even their deaths.
• Mutations and the like may be unpredictable.

...at the cost of destabilizing his body and DNA, reducing him to a puddle of goo.

The clones of Danny (Danny Phantom) were mindless, flawed mutants with unstable DNA that eventually dissolved into ectoplasm...

...with Dani nearly suffering the same fate before Danny stabilized her with the Ecto-Dejecto.

As a result of the immortal Future Zamasu fusing with the mortal Goku Black, Fused Zamasu's (Dragon Ball Super) body and genetics are highly unstable, which he uses to his advantage to mutate his body and increase his strength...

...enabling him to match Vegito Blue blow for blow.

Toad (Marvel Comics) possesses an unstable X-gene, resulting in numerous ability fluctuations, going from merely having a superhuman leap to developing numerous frog-like attributes.

As a result of injecting himself with several untested immunization vaccines, Hazmat (Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects) possesses highly unstable DNA, making him a walking mutation.

Vorcha (Mass Effect series) possess entire clusters of unstable/non-differentiated cells, allowing them limited regenerative capabilities and the ability to adapt quickly to various environments and situations.

Vee (Pokémon Adventures) was altered by Team Rocket to have particularly unstable DNA, allowing it to freely evolve into a Vaporean, Jolteon, or Flareon...

...and devolve back into an Eevee.

Having been spliced with unstable piranha DNA, Dr. Paradigm (Street Sharks) involuntarily mutates into a half-human/half-piranha creature during times of extreme duress.
