prepotent
Having superior influence
Prepotent means having superior power, influence, or force.
In genetics, prepotent describes an individual whose traits consistently dominate in offspring, overriding characteristics from the other parent: The stallion proved prepotent, passing his distinctive markings to nearly all his foals.
More generally, it suggests an overwhelming or predominant quality that prevails over others.
