Domino is relatively new to the comics scene, having first appeared in the early nineties. There’s actually a little debate over exactly when she first appeared, though! It looked like Domino first showed up in New Mutants #98(1991), as this is when the named character first joined the X-Force team. However, it was later revealed that this wasn’t t...
There are plenty of characters that team-hop on a regular basis, but Domino is one of the few that has been a member of X-Force for the majority of her time in comics. She first showed up as a member of the original X-Force, both as an impostor and then as the real Domino. She later joined Wolverine’s new X-Force after the original X-Force broke up...
In addition to her times with the Wild Pack/Six Pack and various incarnations of the X-Force team, Domino has worked for a couple of other teams over the years. After Cable’s first X-Force disbanded, and before she joined the later X-Force headed up by Wolverine, Domino joined another mutant group named X-Corporation. X-Corp was founded by Professo...
While there are plenty of natural-born mutants in the X-Men universe, Domino (like X-23) is a genetically engineered member of the mutant race. She was created by a secret government initiative called Project Armageddon, which used a volunteer woman named Beatrice to give birth to genetically altered offspring. The project was trying to create the ...
The horrors of her childhood (a pretty common thing in the X-universe) left Domino in a catatonic state, and although the project would have killed her for her failures, her mother had realized by then that the project wasn’t working for the safety of the world as she first thought. Beatrice formed a cult to try and take down the program altogether...
Domino learned of her tragic past as an adult when she went looking for her long-lost mother and discovered that she had been engineered as a weapon. She sought out Project Armageddon in the Florida Everglades, and there, she found not only the truth about her past but that she also has a brother. Named Lazarus, this child was also born of Project ...
The most important relationship that Domino has is with Cable, but he is far from the first (or only) love of her life. In the time that she was first working as a mercenary (before her X-Men days) she did some work for the NSA. Her assignment was to guard a man named Milo Thurman -- not truly a mutant, but a man so intelligent that he was able to ...
Domino’s relationship with Cable pre-dates her time with the X-Men teams, and it was actually Cable who brought her into the X-Force fold. She and Cable first met when they were both working as mercenaries as members of the group known as the Wild Pack (later changed to the Six Pack). This group was brought together by Cable in order to keep him af...
As though Domino’s pastisn't tragic enough, her life as an adult also involves more than her fair share of misery -- including the time that she was forced to kill one of her oldest friends. Domino and Grizzly became close during their days in the Wild Pack, although they eventually lost touch after the group disbanded. Then, when Domino was invest...
As we mentioned in one of the earlier entries on this list, Domino’s first appearance in X-Force wasn’t actually the realDomino, but Copycat in disguise. Copycat is a mutant with the ability to shapeshift into anyone she's encountered, copying their DNA and powers as well as their physical appearance. Copycat impersonated Domino at the request of T...
