'''Neena Thurman''', better known as '''Domino''', is a Creator/MarvelComics character created by Fabian Nicieza and Creator/RobLiefeld, first appearing in ''ComicBook/NewMutants'' #98 (dated February 1991). [[note]]Her first appearance was actually impersonation by Copycat; the ''real'' Domino didn't first appear until ''ComicBook/XForce'' #8 (dated March 1992), more than a whole year later.[[/note]]
Bred to be the ultimate weapon by a top-secret government facility, Domino's mutant ability --probability manipulation-- was actually seen as a flaw. Fearing they'd kill her as a result, Domino's birth mother whisked her away to a church in UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}}, where she'd continue to live until becoming a mercenary in her adult years.
Now working for the NSA, Domino fell in love with (and married) Dr. Milo Thurman, a scientist she was assigned to protect. Their union didn't last long; they were separated by a raid that led Milo to assume his wife had been killed.
Domino then met time-traveling mutant ComicBook/{{Cable}} when she was recruited to his strike team Six Pack, and the two quickly became an item. As with her estranged husband, however, Domino found herself pulled away from her lover yet again during a mission. They've since reconnected many times, sharing an [[WIllTheyOrWontThey on-off relationship]] over the years.
Sometime after Six Pack, Domino was was kidnapped and replaced by an imposter: the shapeshifting mutant Copycat, real name Vanessa Carlysle. She was actually the first iteration of Domino that readers were introduced to; Vanessa's Domino first appeared in ''ComicBook/NewMutants'' #98, while Neena --the ''real'' Domino-- didn't show up for more than a year later, in ''ComicBook/XForce'' #8.
In the following years, Domino would serve as a frequent member of ComicBook/XForce, and even joined the ComicBook/XMen for a brief stint. She's also a common ally to both Cable and ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}, often showing up in their respective titles. Most recently, she joined Deadpool's Mercs for Money, and is set to join the team of [=RessurXion=]'s ''Weapon X'' title, alongside ComicBook/OldManLogan.
Outside of comics, Domino has appeared in various cartoons and video games based on Marvel characters. In 2018, she'll make her cinematic debut in the yet-to-be-titled ''Film/{{Deadpool}}'' sequel, played there by Zazie Beetz.

!! Domino provides examples of the following tropes:
* NinetiesAntiHero
* ActionGirl: She is a superb markswoman with various firearms, highly skilled athlete, excellent swimmer, and adept in use of explosives. She has extensive training in various armed combat techniques and the martial arts, with Olympic-gold level athletic and acrobatic ability.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's absolutely horrifying when threatened. You do NOT want to get on her bad side.
* BizarreAndImprobableBallistics: Domino has the power to alter probability, and prefers to use that ability in conjunction with firearms. She can thus perform outstandingly improbable trick-shots, including multiple-ricochet bulls-eyes against moving targets.
* BondOneLiner
* BornLucky: She has the ability to subliminally and psionically initiate random kinetic phenomena that affect probability in her favor by making improbable (but not impossible) things to occur within her line of sight, thus causing her to have "good luck" and her opponents to have "bad luck." For example, there was a time when somebody put a revolver to her head and pulled the trigger. Six times. All six bullets failed to fire. The odds of this actually happening are, needless to say, astronomically low.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Domino has probability altering powers, but she mainly relies on her marksmanship and hand-to-hand abilities.
* CloningBlues: A rare case of this being an AvertedTrope. She's surprisingly well-adjusted (by X-Men Standards, which isn't saying much)
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Bred as a weapon, failed as a bodyguard to her eventual husband and was then captured and tortured by Bastion's sentinels. She handles it better than somebody like ComicBook/IronMan or ComicBook/MsMarvel would.
* DeadpanSnarker: Has some overlap with SadClown and YouFightLikeACow.
* DodgeTheBullet
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: She has dark hair and literally white skin.
* FriendlySniper: Despite being designed as a NinetiesAntiHero, she's FunPersonified to her teammates after her original 90s GrimDark incarnation. This is a JustifiedTrope as the original Domino was an impostor.
* GunFu: Domino, though her "luck" power also had a lot to do with it.
%%* GunsAkimbo
* HairTriggerTemper: As stated above, do NOT get on her bad side. While she's normally a reasonable mother figure, deciding to annoy her is a very, very bad idea. Deadpool manages to get under her skin more than anyone else.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: She's able to hold her liquor better than anyone without a healing factor.
* HeroicAlbino
* ImprobableAimingSkills
* TheLancer: To Cable in the X-Force.
* LikesOlderMen: Has dated Wolverine and Cable.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Going by her backstory alone, she'd have to be at least 40. She doesn't look it. Even possibly aging backwards thanks to ComicBookTime and {{Retcon}}s.
* {{Omniglot}}: She seems to be fluent in multiple languages.
* PragmaticHero: Just because she's normally nice doesn't mean she won't shoot you in the face if you're a villain without any questions asked.
* ProgressivelyPrettier: Started out looking worn out and emaciated, eventually became a candidate for MsFanservice. It doesn't hurt that the original version with a man's hairline was really Copycat in disguise.
* ReallyGetsAround: Often combined with RomancingTheWidow. So far she's managed to conquer Cable, Wolverine and Colossus. And Deadpool but he doesn't really count as a, "conquest" since he'll openly try to score with anyone or anything.
* SpyCatsuit
* SuperheroPackingHeat
* SuperReflexes: As a byproduct of her probability abilities, Domino's cerebral cortex emits a current of bio-electric pulses down her spine to instinctively guide her movements during such situations, which has the added effect of augmenting her natural reflexes and agility to near-superhuman levels.
* {{Tykebomb}}: She was bred as a product of Weapon X. She later grew up to be a member of the X-Men.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Deadpool.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She's terrified of chickens.
* WidowWoman
* WindsOfDestinyChange: Domino is often cited as well, but her powers are more BornLucky than this trope, since she doesn't directly control what happens.

Most recently, she joined Deadpool's Mercs for Money, and is set to join the team of [=RessurXion=]'s ''Weapon X'' title, alongside ComicBook/OldManLogan.
Outside of comics, Domino has appeared in various cartoons and video games based on Marvel characters. In 2018, she'll make her cinematic debut in the yet-to-be-titled ''Film/{{Deadpool}}'' sequel, played there by Zazie Beetz.

!! Domino provides examples of the following tropes:
* NinetiesAntiHero
* ActionGirl: She is a superb markswoman with various firearms, highly skilled athlete, excellent swimmer, and adept in use of explosives. She has extensive training in various armed combat techniques and the martial arts, with Olympic-gold level athletic and acrobatic ability.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's absolutely horrifying when threatened. You do NOT want to get on her bad side.
* BizarreAndImprobableBallistics: Domino has the power to alter probability, and prefers to use that ability in conjunction with firearms. She can thus perform outstandingly improbable trick-shots, including multiple-ricochet bulls-eyes against moving targets.
* BondOneLiner
* BornLucky: She has the ability to subliminally and psionically initiate random kinetic phenomena that affect probability in her favor by making improbable (but not impossible) things to occur within her line of sight, thus causing her to have "good luck" and her opponents to have "bad luck." For example, there was a time when somebody put a revolver to her head and pulled the trigger. Six times. All six bullets failed to fire. The odds of this actually happening are, needless to say, astronomically low.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Domino has probability altering powers, but she mainly relies on her marksmanship and hand-to-hand abilities.
* CloningBlues: A rare case of this being an AvertedTrope. She's surprisingly well-adjusted (by X-Men Standards, which isn't saying much)
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Bred as a weapon, failed as a bodyguard to her eventual husband and was then captured and tortured by Bastion's sentinels. She handles it better than somebody like ComicBook/IronMan or ComicBook/MsMarvel would.
* DeadpanSnarker: Has some overlap with SadClown and YouFightLikeACow.
* DodgeTheBullet
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: She has dark hair and literally white skin.
* FriendlySniper: Despite being designed as a NinetiesAntiHero, she's FunPersonified to her teammates after her original 90s GrimDark incarnation. This is a JustifiedTrope as the original Domino was an impostor.
* GunFu: Domino, though her "luck" power also had a lot to do with it.
%%* GunsAkimbo
* HairTriggerTemper: As stated above, do NOT get on her bad side. While she's normally a reasonable mother figure, deciding to annoy her is a very, very bad idea. Deadpool manages to get under her skin more than anyone else.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: She's able to hold her liquor better than anyone without a healing factor.
* HeroicAlbino
* ImprobableAimingSkills
* TheLancer: To Cable in the X-Force.
* LikesOlderMen: Has dated Wolverine and Cable.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Going by her backstory alone, she'd have to be at least 40. She doesn't look it. Even possibly aging backwards thanks to ComicBookTime and {{Retcon}}s.
* {{Omniglot}}: She seems to be fluent in multiple languages.
* PragmaticHero: Just because she's normally nice doesn't mean she won't shoot you in the face if you're a villain without any questions asked.
* ProgressivelyPrettier: Started out looking worn out and emaciated, eventually became a candidate for MsFanservice. It doesn't hurt that the original version with a man's hairline was really Copycat in disguise.
* ReallyGetsAround: Often combined with RomancingTheWidow. So far she's managed to conquer Cable, Wolverine and Colossus. And Deadpool but he doesn't really count as a, "conquest" since he'll openly try to score with anyone or anything.
* SpyCatsuit
* SuperheroPackingHeat
* SuperReflexes: As a byproduct of her probability abilities, Domino's cerebral cortex emits a current of bio-electric pulses down her spine to instinctively guide her movements during such situations, which has the added effect of augmenting her natural reflexes and agility to near-superhuman levels.
* {{Tykebomb}}: She was bred as a product of Weapon X. She later grew up to be a member of the X-Men.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Deadpool.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She's terrified of chickens.
* WidowWoman
* WindsOfDestinyChange: Domino is often cited as well, but her powers are more BornLucky than this trope, since she doesn't directly control what happens.
