Don't project your poor movie tastes on other people.

It really seems like changelings don't have a reliable method of coming back from the dead. The headspider is worse than useless, because when it pops out, they not only know you're dead for real, they have more than enough time to run back to medbay to get it cut out.
If we're looking for a new power, what if we change the headspider into a massive spore release, it can act like what happens when you mix sarin or cyanide, only with a larger radius depending on how much DNA you've accumulated. If there is more than one person in the range, it chooses one at random, and after a certain interval with very little to no warning, the changeling takes them over, losing all their hard earned DNA in the process.
Alternatively, we can also give changelings the ability to regenerate from a pile of gibs, so they can come back to the station naked and angry after getting sent through disposals. Again, at the cost of all their DNA.
