Domino has starred in a couple of miniseries of her own, one in 1997 and one in 2003.

The first series involved her teaming up with the Alpha Flight member Puck to fight Lady Deathstrike and Donald Pierce, but the second one revealed a lot of her origin and followed up on it.

In the series, Domino went looking for her mother Beatrice and clues about her past with Project: Armageddon. However, her search revealed that the project was actually still ongoing and that it had produced another child, Neena's half-brother.

The boy, called Lazarus, was the true result of the attempts to create a perfect weapon, someone who had the power to control the emotions of others. Using his powers, he trapped Domino in Project: Armageddon's base in Florida. Domino broke free though and tried to liberate her brother, only for a new group to burst in.

They were the fantastically named Armajesuits, a fanatical cult dedicated to stopping the project, led by Domino's mother. Beatrice believed that Lazarus was evil though and tried to kill him before he could reach his full potential. Neena ended up shooting her mother to save Lazarus' life.

She then left him to be raised at the same church she was with Father Boschelli.

I was just a mild-mannered NCTJ accredited journalist until one day I found out the truth... that I could share my nerdy ramblings with people on the internet! It's just like mumbling to myself on the train, but without all the strange looks.
