this is not a GIP!

Anyway, this is not a GIP because! I just read part of an X-Force fic circa Domino as den-mother/team leader, where she's forced into the unenviable position of teaching Shatterstar about the birds and bees. Logically (this being 'Star), she very seriously leaves it up to porn. If it was me I'd get an assortment of hardcore, softcore, straight, gay and radical feminist lesbian porn. Alternate with telenovellas. Done.
Sample? ( You know you want it. )
You know what the world needs? A Domino ongoing where she goes back to her fancy-free mercenary days and sets up her own agency. Guns, logic-defying mutant luck powers, rampant badassery and all for profit (and payback). Of course, due to her long association with the X-people and her subsequent semi-infection with Xavier's Dream, she vets all ops for Evil, and does the occasional pro-bono when the cause is Just and the bad guys Annoying.
X-Factor meets Deadpool! With 20% less angst about the morality of her actions.
What's great about the character (well, one of the things that's great her) is that she's one of those Liefieldian Wolverine ripoffs, all badass, pouches, and horrific origin story, but she doesn't drown in an ocean of angst or uncertainty. She's a woman who knows her capabilities, both physical and moral, and has seen the darkest parts of humanity and her own soul, but who continues to get out there and do her freakin job. And she does it very, very well. All the while taking things only as seriously as they need to be taken.
Great moments in Domino:
- personally tracks him down and kills an old friend because he'd become a feral killer
- takes on Reavers single-handed to save ex-husband (who ends up dying because she's one of *those* Marvel characters)
- leads surly band of mutant teenagers
- along with Shatterstar breaks out some of the 198 from the refugee camp outside the X-Mansion
- actually survives a relationship with Cable
And for the supporting cast we could rescue Shatterstar and Tabitha from off-panel obscurity. You're tempted. Just admit it.
