Only if it's the real Domino. Back when Vanessa was pretending to be Domino she sucked. Real Domino rocks. Nate's a lucky guy.Favorite Domino Quote:

/agree, though more on the things falling into place for her, Domino's mutant ability which is not well known is a luck/probability alteration field which allows things that would otherwise be random turn out the best for her goals, like a bullet landing precisely where it should, a energy blast missing her head by inches, not getting noticed frequently by chance, etc. This ability has also been present with Longshot, and Gambit, though you rarely hear of it.
Other mutants with similar abilities include Boom-Boom/Boomer/Countdown who can create explosive "time bombs".
Other mutants than Longshot (who is, in fact, a genetically engineered humanoid rather than a true mutant) with reality altering powers include Magneto's daughter Wanda Maximoff, aka The Scarlet Witch.
Domino's sole power seems to be an ambient aura of good luck, which seems to be out of her control, and a distinct lack of aging (keep in mind that she's well over forty years old at this point, having had adventures during the 70's with Cable's "Wild Pack").

Whatever happened to Longshot?

Other interesting facts about Domino:
-Knows the most about Nathan Summers (aka Cable) of any of Cable's associates (save for Stryfe, deceased)
-That marking over her eye isn't makeup. It is one of her mutant traits (handy for reducing glare, I imagine), and earned her the affectionate nickname "Petey the Dog" from X-Force and Cable writers.
-Was in all of her initial appearances being mimicked by a shapeshifter called Copycat (real name Vanessa, former romantic interest of the Merc With a Mouth Deadpool) on behalf of Cable's Stryfe-and-Apocalypse-brainwashed son Tyler. Tyler was later (wrongfully) presumed killed by Domino when X-Force broke into Tyler's compound to rescue her. Tyler later turned up to offer Wolverine his Adamantium-reinforced skeleton back.
-Domino and Cable's initial relationship was strictly business; they were freelance mercenaries in the Wild Pack together. Domino for a while harbored resentment towards Cable when the Wild Pack disbanded and Cable left (returning to the future to marry Jenskot, I believe, and father Tyler. Jen was killed by Apocalypse's forces and Tyelr was taken away and brainwashed). In recent times, however, Domino and Cable have progressed into a rather more serious and less platonic relationship.
Someone has way too much time on their hands.
Not that I can say anything, of course.
