Holy shit, I never imagined this specific subset of Dylan's powers could ever be useful in-game, but...
The pod people parasites seem to function very similar to symbiotes in a lot of ways. In canon, Dylan is able to connect to the symbiote hivemind, remote-control them, and destroy them with a thought. Dylan is, functionally, a Queen Bee in the symbiote hive. (Canonically, the title is King in Black. He's never directly referred to with that title, but it's implied. I'll elaborate if you need me to.)
It was thought that Eddie took that power away from Dylan, but it's come to light in recent issues that Dylan still retained it, though he had to really look inside himself to access them again.
I know I gave Dylan the hive-mind connection in-game. As for the other powers, I double-checked Dylan's app, and I was... not entirely clear on whether or not Dylan retained the King in Black powers. Technically they're part of his symbiote biology, since he was born with them, but if you want me to do a power update & put them under a specific umbrella I understand.
ANYWAY, with all that said: Is there any possibility that Dylan's powers could extend to the Pod People? Could he tap into their hivemind, communicate with them, or influence their behavior?
Also, I'd like to know if I could extend Dylan's symbiote powers to portioning off little goopy pieces of himself to bond to his friends. (There is canon precedent for this, but not for Dylan specifically). I'm thinking this could inoculate them, logic being: A pod person spore encounters someone with a little symbiote stuff, goes "oh that's already one of us :)" and moves on.
Barring that, maybe the symbiote goo can attack any pod person spores that tries to infect the person it's bonded to. They wouldn't be able to go Full Symbiote Suit or anything, just have a little defense boost. Maybe get Hivemind Access.

I hope this made sense haha.
