Domino, from its Latin roots meaning “fall,” is an authoritative name that conveys a sense of authority and control. Due to this connotation, it has become popular as an option for both personal and business names as well as products looking to exude an air of dominance and expertise.
Dominoes (also referred to as bones, cards, men or pieces) are rectangular tiles featuring a line in the middle that visually divides each side of each domino into two squares. Their sides bear an array of spots called pips which usually range in number from six up to none on either end – the sum of these values determines its rank or weight.
Dominoes were first mentioned during the mid-18th century and quickly spread throughout Europe. These positional tiles are initially used to play an edge-to-edge positional game whereby one tile is laid against another until all opponent tiles have been covered by another one; afterwards, victory is won by placing consecutive identical pairs so that their sum forms some target total; different variants exist but most commonly is the double six set with 28 pieces required to play one full game.
After her stint as the Punisher, Domino rejoined X-Force and helped transform it into a proactive black ops team. When Earth briefly overlapped with Reality-295, Domino assisted in exposing mutant rights violations by John Sublime’s Third Species Movement which harvests living mutant body parts to harvest genetic code for genetic research purposes; she also assisted Xorn in being freed from his death sentence.
Prime Sentinels implanted a neural inhibitor into Domino’s brain after their attack, which would suppress her reflexes and reaction times under extreme stress – for instance when fighting or trying to escape combat or pursuit. Although its effects were temporary, they eventually faded after she met up with X-23.
Domino later joined the mercenary Six Pack (G. W. Bridge, Shatterstar, Hammer, Anaconda and Solo) on sabotage missions against Rumekistan and Cable’s sanctuary Providence Island. When hired by ULTIMATUM to determine the status of Rumekistan as well as Cable’s island sanctuary Providence, Domino discovered it was being run by Flag-Smasher; upon learning this information she assassinated Flag-Smasher to regain control over Rumekistan from him messianic control and claimed Rumekistan back from him messianic control and took back control from him.
Domino has often served as de facto leader of X-Force when Cable puts his personal interests above those of the team, including during her time as Punisher. She even served as an escort when Lady Deathstrike, Spiral and Chimera raided a cemetery for Kwannon. Later she was recruited by Dr. Corben’s mysterious cult known as the Brotherhood of Mutants to monitor mutation rights violations globally.
