Alt Fire: Possessor Charge

This is a novel mechanic I'm working on called possession, and right now I'm looking for the right expression of the mechanic. At its core, the possession mechanic allows a dead ally to participate in a creative way. So far I've created a knife and PDA variant.

The Possessor Charge is a projectile shot which explodes into a rocket radius; allies coated in the projectile will be marked as potential victims. If a victim is killed while the Possessor charge is on them, when they die their corpse will change teams and become controlled by a dead ally.

Possessed enemies are restricted to melee weapons, have 125 health, are unhealable, and will die immediately when the player's respawn timers are up.

Well, what do you think? Which existing version is the easiest to operate, the most fun, or most effective? Do you have any recommendations for the Medium Dead?
