X-Force Movie: 10 Characters Who Must Be Included

Both Catwoman and Elektra were terrible movies that badly flopped, and instead of Hollywood viewing this as €œmaybe those were just bad movies,€ they instead viewed it as, €œno one wants to see female superheroes.€ Such is Hollywood logic. But female action heroes can be, and have been, done well. Sigourney Weaver€™s Ellen Ripley and Linda Hamilton€™s Sarah Connor proved this long ago. Not to mention the success of Sarah Michelle Gellar€™s Buffy Summers on TV. And that brings us to another important character in the X-Force mythos: Domino. A mercenary, Domino is a mutant with pale skin (save for the black patch over one eye) who possesses the ability to subconsciously alter probability. She€™s also a skilled marksman and proficient in both armed and unarmed combat. She€™s been a longtime friend, confidant, and occasional lover of X-Force€™s leader, Cable. Domino is a dangerous woman, the kind who hasn€™t appeared in the X-Men films except as a villain. Would be nice to see the shoe on the other foot for a change. Because Domino has the potential to be a great addition to the X-Force films.
