Lord Dominator

Lord Dominator, also known as D, is a character from the Wander Over Yonder series.
== Charactah Account ==
Described as "a greater hater", Dominator is a far more effective and threatening villain than the former big bad Lord Hater could ever be, which is metaphorically reflected by the similar outfit, name, Mooks, and ship.
On the outside, Dominator is a no-nonsense Knight of Cerebus man with an intimidating voice, but on the inside? Dominator is a woman who acts like a dorky teenager and still a sadistic menace through and through.
Her goal is to harvest Volcanium X from the cores of planets, which serves as a power source for her ship, powers, and army. This process turns the planet into a desolate wasteland and destroys it, which excites her. Dominator is all about bringing pain, suffering, and torment across the galaxy because she finds it fun and it brings her great pleasure.

== Trivia ==
* Lord Dominator's armored form is seen as a silhouette in the end credits of "The Rider".
* Major Threat was originally a potential name for Lord Dominator, but it was deemed too "jokey" and the name was later used for another character. 
* According to Dave Thomas, Lord Dominator was originally conceived as a villain from an anime.
* Craig’s original pitch for Lord Dominator's armored form was that she would be the “Michael Bay” version of Lord Hater. In other words, what Hater would be like if Michael Bay were to make a gritty, live-action reboot of Wander Over Yonder; Hater, but way cooler and more extreme.
* In terms of personality, the writers wanted for Dominator to challenge each of the other main characters, so they decided that she had to be more evil than Lord Hater, tougher than Sylvia, smarter than Commander Peepers, and either more excitable than Wander, or just as excited about doing evil as Wander is about doing good.
* According to Lord Dominator's audition sides, "Dominator refuses to be typecast as "the girl."" This is expressed in the audition line in which she says, "Don’t you get it? I’m not the girlfriend. I’m not the damsel in distress. I’m the bad guy," which later served as the basis for her villain song in the show!
** This aspect of her personality voices how her character itself was handled and written; in Craig McCracken's own words, “Lord Dominator’s gender is not what defines her. If male characters can be all things, then it follows that female characters can be all things as well.”
* According to Francisco Angones, Dominator uses the title of "Lord" instead of "Lady" because she likes to mess with people, but was never hiding her identity or disguising herself, and has always referred to herself as Lord Dominator because "why can’t a woman be an evil overlord"?
* ND Stevenson confirmed during a charity stream that Lord Dominator was written as lesbian—when he confirmed having notably done so himself in writing "The Night Out." Which other crew members played a part in this over the course of writing Season 2 are unknown. (Note: this is not to be confused as "Word of God" confirmation.)
** Dominator isn't interested in being in a relationship with anybody, as galactic destruction is her sole focus and passion in life, but if she did want a partner, she would want somebody who, according to Dave Thomas, "inspired her to be the best version of her evil self she could be."
* The reason Lord Dominator's outfit resembled Lord Hater's was to irritate him, which was shown to have worked in her debut episode, where Lord Hater was clearly angered by her copying his look.
* Lord Dominator's bleeding heart insignia and fake mascara tears are worn as badges of honor, bragging about how much misery she’s caused.
* Dominator designed all her clothes herself. She also invented all of her technology and built her ship, bots, and power suit all by herself.
** Lord Dominator's skills in engineering are self-taught.
* Lord Dominator held every other villain in the galaxy prisoner except for Lord Hater and his army, as revealed in My Fair Hatey.
** However, according to Francisco Angones, they escaped with the Watchdogs at the end.
* The galaxy that the show takes place in is not the first galaxy that Lord Dominator's demolished.
* In The End of the Galaxy, it is revealed that the reason why Lord Dominator repeatedly tormented the other main characters instead of just getting it over with and destroying them whenever she had the chance is because she's lonely and craves the socialization.
** According to Francisco Angones and Dave Thomas respectively, her loneliness is not the result of some tragic backstory,  but the result of her being so destructive and evil.
* In The Night Out, Lord Dominator temporarily finds a friend in Sylvia, but ends up pushing her friendship away because she loves to cause pain and destruction above all else, and ultimately rejects Sylvia for refusing to follow her every command. She is shown to not understand the concept of friendship, believing a 'friend' to be someone who will do whatever she says, much like her robots. She currently doesn't care about the concept of friendship, or at least does not fully understand it, while still longing for companionship.
* Like Dr. Screwball Jones, (as well as Sourdough the Evil Sandwich, Little Bits, Mandrake the Malfeasant, and most other competitors for the greatest in the galaxy,) Lord Dominator is one of the few characters that Wander has been unable to befriend.
* Dominator's favorite music genre is Punk, namely Riot Grrrl, Hardcore, and Glam Punk.
* All of Lord Dominator's masked lines were recorded by Noël Wells and then dubbed over by Fred Tatasciore in order to match the exact delivery and nuances of her performance. This ensured that all of her lines sounded like herself!
