IMO, if the hypo gene was truely codominant, you wouldn't have "possible supers". You would be able to tell one way or the other. I use the tiger mutation in retics as the classic example. You don't hear about "possible super tigers". They either are or they aren't. The other option that I haven't heard is that there could be a second gene linked to the hypo gene such that it was carried around with the hypo gene. This could cause some of the differences we're seeing with some, but not all of the homozygous hypos.
