First Appearance: Avengers III#12 (January, 1999)

Powers: Dominex is a giant robot with enough raw strength to level a mountain. It can also project "Somni-Rays" that can knock people away from itself. It is also pretty nigh-invulnerable as it stood up to military missile-fire.

History: Dominex was a doomsday device designed by the Quist, also known as the Arcane. It was used to destroy a planet that Dominus was unable to takeover. On Earth, the Dominex robot was damaged by the explosion of Dominus and was not able to restore and reactivate itself until much later.

(Avengers III#12) - Dominex was awakened from an old base of Dominus that the Thunderbolts were investigating. It blasted the team (along with the Avengers) away from itself and began its mission to destroy the world. The two teams battled effortlessly against it as it trudged towards civilization until Moonstone dressed as Dominus and pretended to be possessed by the spirit of Dominus himself; this caught the robot off-guard as Vision uploaded the files on Dominex to Hank Pym and Tony Stark. The Thunderbolts breached the robot, found its command module, and destroyed it, putting an end to Dominex.
