Domino is a type of domino game that involves placing pieces, called pips, on the edge of one another in a row, with the tops facing down. Then, one of the pips on the bottom of the piece that is closest to the ground causes it to fall over and creates a chain reaction with other pieces being knocked down as a result.
In addition to being a popular children’s game, Dominoes are also used in a variety of ways as art, including creating straight lines, curved lines, grids that form pictures when they fall, stacked walls and 3D structures like towers and pyramids. This kind of art can be used for decorative purposes or for functional purposes, such as displaying maps or providing an organizational structure.
The name Domino has long carried with it the connotation of authority and control, making it an appealing choice for businesses, organizations, and products that want to convey a sense of leadership and expertise. The term is also used as a first name, often with a Latin root, keeping alive the association with dominance and mastery.
While the term is most commonly associated with the games of a similar name, it can be used more broadly as a metaphor to describe the effect of one event on subsequent events. This type of domino effect is sometimes referred to as a cascade or a chain reaction, and it can be a positive or negative event.
As a child, Domino was gifted with heightened perception and movement speed, which she uses to her advantage as a member of the mutant superteam X-Force. When the team went to investigate a disturbance in Uruguay, Domino found herself at odds with her teammates over her need to act alone. Ultimately, she was captured by the emotion-manipulating mutant Psycho-Man, who had his agent Copycat impersonate her in order to steal X-Force’s equipment and take it back to his base, Project Armageddon.
Domino was freed by Cable and rejoined the team. However, the mercenary soon discovered that a neural inhibitor implanted at the base of her skull had caused her to lose much of her fighting prowess. Attempting to overcome the device, she attacked her former Six Pack teammates, Grizzly and Hammer, before being attacked by the mutant shapeshifter Kane.
After being captured by the Armajesuits, Domino returned to X-Corporation to help hinder John Sublime’s Third Species mutant organ harvesting movement. She then infiltrated a Hong Kong branch to discover that the facility was being run by her mother, Beatrice. When the team resurfaced, she confronted Beatrice over her role in Domino’s year-long captivity and reclaimed her fighting abilities. Afterward, she helped reestablish a mercenary division in Rumekistan.
