Her powers affect probability and her costume/makeup is black and white. Plus it's totally cool, dude. Even cooler is the fact that her ability to "generate luck" was somehow produced through selective breeding carried out by one of the government's innumerable super soldier programs.

I do have to say that statue is the nicest the character has ever looked.

She's very good at knocking things over?

Teela Brown?

Back OT, the Hercules statue looks great, but that Jocasta sketch had me thinking it was an unfinished Jessica Rabbit at first glance.

So she's the Scarlet Witch turned slightly sideways.

And "Domino" still doesn't work.

I always took her powers to be more like the Black Cat's.  I THINK she even used to say, "Things have a way of falling into place for me."  (or something close).  Blech.

And this character is called "Domino". . . . why?

 

I would say cuz her face looks like a domino, but then I realized she would have to be black with a white circle...I never understood why Leifeld was given the keys to the X-franchise, when he'd never really done anything before that which merited such free reign to create new characters and do whatever he wanted.

I guess he sold books.

While I think they're mostly crap, Cable and Deadpool have become two of the more profitable characters Marvel has had since Giant-Size X-Men.

THAT would actually make sense.

Last time I was working on Spider-Man, I had an idea for a Mad Thinker subplot. Bad guys hire the Thinker to knock off Jonah, and the scheme begins with a single panel, upper left corner, about the size it would be if it was on a nine panel page. The panel contains something utterly unconnected with an attempt on Jonah.

Next issue, a similarly sized panel appears, vaguely related to the previous one, but still unconnected to Jonah. So it continues for the next six issues.

In the ninth issue -- the HIT issue -- all the panels are reprinted as a single page, and we see that what the Thinker did was start a cascade of seemingly unrelated "dominoes" that would lead to Jonah being killed.

Of course, what the Thinker could not factor into his scheme was that someone very close to Jonah was Spider-Man!

That sounds like a really cool idea. Perhaps you shouldn't have shared it with us. It may just turn up in a book now.

Looks like the first of Kotobukiya's DC X Bishoujo statue line will not be Wonder Woman (darn!):

Hm. That Batgirl is a big disappointment after the Marvel figures. I'll be passing on that one!
