Domino - X-Force Black


Domino (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domino_(comics)) accidentally (or 'luckily', see what I did there?! SHE DOESN'T HAVE LUCK POWERS!) stumbled into one of Wolverine's X-Force operations, shot a bunch of clones, and became part of the team.
Getting The Look
X-Force was drawn by two very different artists, who took turns doing the arcs. For some reason they drew Domino's costume so differently, it might as well have been two entirely different outfits. So I'm going to do them both (because you didn't demand it, and no-one is reading this anyway)! The first is the version as rendered by Clayton Crain. In general his art on X-Force, though amazing, was so dark it was hard to make out little details... Like what the fuck people were wearing. So from what I can tell Domino's uniform was basically a black collared combat outfit, with some cleave, holsters and pouches.

The Reverse Slimline chest and Semi-Auto Pistol styles are available at character creation. Reverse Slimline chest shows a little more cleavage than Domino's costume did in the comics, but it's one of the few chest styles that has a collar and doesn't cover your character all the way up to their chin.

Snake shoulders drop in a variety of instances, or can be purchased from the Broker for a moderate amount. Druid hands also drop regularly and can be found on the Broker, just much more cheaply. While the Druid hand and Snake shoulders may not be the perfect choices for this costume, they are the only combination that makes it looks as if Domino is wearing a long sleeved top, rather than a vest and some gloves.

Retro Tech leg style is the reward for completing the Enigmatic Puzzles investigation. I predominantly chose this over other legs styles as the sheen matches the Reverse Slimline chest.

The very cool looking Vengeful Surgeon back is the current top tiered PvP style for villains. You will need to be on the villain side and complete all the other sets before you will be able to purchase it, or you might get very lucky and have the style only version drop out of a Promethium Lockbox.

The Arctic Gear feet style is currently available only once per year during the Winter Seasonal event. If you don't already have it another military looking boot style will make a good substitute until Winter rolls around again.

As with the Cable & Deadpool version of Domino you will need the Cyborg face style, which gives you her trademark patched left eye. This style is the reward for the Deathstroke's Contract briefing.

The combination of Munitions and Acrobatics powers simulates Domino's gymnastic fighting style and skill with all manner of firearms. The Dual Pistol combos are also great for having Domino leap around like a bullet firing mutant maniac.

Accuracy and Playability
A sleek looking replica of her X-Force look: 7/10. Close enough to any video game version of Domino as you're likely to get: 9/10.
