I disagree... Mostly.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned here is that if you switch identities, your genetic mutation are lost (unless you mutate back again). This balance is interesting, because if you get ratted out, you have choice: switch identities or stay powered up.
I do feel there's a point to be made with fire resistance here. I don't think lings should have genetic fire resistance whatsoever, unless they're wearing fire clothing (which is balanced by the fact that they'll burst out of it in shambler form). It's the ultimate upgrade for ling and it just seems wayyy to cheesy von breezy for my liking.
This is speaking from experience btw. I have gone for fire resistance plenty of times as ling. It DOES feel OP.
So yeah. No to all genes. Yes to having fire resistance not working for them.
