Domino (Neena Thurman) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is best known as a member of the mutant team X-Force. Created by writer Fabian Nicieza and artist/co-writer Rob Liefeld, Domino made her first full cover story appearance in X-Force #8 (March 1992) as an original member of the Wild Pack team led by the mutant Cable.

Domino was portrayed by Zazie Beetz in Deadpool 2 (2018). She has also appeared in video games and minor animated television appearances.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Domino (character)”, the useful work is to connect “fictional character in Marvel Comics” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q59644. The Library of Congress control number is no2017095132. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1992 and 2018.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
