Lord Dominator

Lord Dominator was the main antagonist of the second season of Wander Over Yonder. She was the former lead in the Galactic Villain Leaderboard. She used to take pride in her mayhem the same way a bully enjoys messing with nerdy kids, and, to Dominator, the whole galaxy is full of nerdy kids. Now, after the events of the aforementioned show, she is close to being reformed.

## Appearance

Lord Dominator is a tall, humanoid alien woman with pale-green skin, red freckles, pointy ears, bright pink eyes (sclera), and white hair that's been shaved into a lengthy mohawk. She wears thick, black mascara, black eyeliner that's drawn on to resemble running teardrops, and black lipstick.

When going into battle, her helmet's retractable, skull-like mask covers her face and her power suit transforms into a giant, brawny suit of mech armor that covers her from head-to-toe like a cloak. Out of battle, Dominator's power suit takes the form of a black crop top with spiked shoulder pads, a black, floor-length skirt with a thigh-high split on each side, and yellow gloves just like Lord Hater's. She also wears a black helmet topped with giant serrated yellow horns, socks similar to Wander's, and shoes similar to Lord Hater's. Dominator's insignia, a dripping red heart that looks like it was painted in blood, adorns the front of her crop top. Although less noticeable, it can also be seen on her fully-armored form.

## Personality

In her giant mech armor, Dominator's an imposing silent force who drains planets dry in order to use their resources, namely Volcanium X, to power her fleet and power suit. Under the mask, however, she’s overly-enthusiastic girl who absolutely geeks out over wreaking chaos and destruction. Dominator is just as hyperactive as Wander is, if not even more so, and frequently screams, laughs, and bounces around in excitement over her own evildoing. Despite her true personality, however, Dominator is a sadistic menace through and through. Rather than conquer the entire galaxy, she wishes to destroy it for her own amusement. Friendship is a foreign concept to her, so much that she initially believed it to be another word for subservience, and she quickly wrote it off as being "dumb and way overrated" after learning that friends aren't people who follow your every command.

As hinted at by Wander, the reason why Lord Dominator acts like such a "bully," i.e., ceaselessly torments but never kills Wander and his friends, is because she's lonely and likes to spend time with them, albeit in her own cruel and antagonizing way. Although, she understands, in a way, that she longs for companionship, she continuously denies it. However, in the future, she will learn that Wander is right.

## Powers and Abilities

### Original

* Magma Manipulation: Dominator's most prominent ability is her power over lava, being able to generate it from her body to fire as projectiles, shape it into different weapons, or change into her battle form at will. Her ship is equipped with a specialized drill that mines lava directly from a planet's core to serve as fuel or material with which to manufacture her minions in on-board factories.
* Optic Beam: During the fight for the Ring of Invincibility, she demonstrated the ability to fire an energy wave from her visor powerful enough to vaporize Hater's ship in one shot.
* Ice Manipulation: Following the events of "My Fair Hatey," Dominator gained the power over ice and snow. She acquired these powers when Peepers attempted to destroy her ship's core with the frostonium Ray, not knowing that this would backfire. She still keeps her fire and lava powers and uses them in conjunction with this ability, making her twice as powerful. As of "The End of the Galaxy," she has become proficient in its use, shown when she created an ice sculpture decoy of Sylvia before immobilizing Wander in ice.
* Above-Average Intelligence: Dominator has a great knowledge of various things. For example, she has designed all of her awesome clothes herself, and also invented her ship, weapons, robots and power suit. Also, her engineering skills are self-taught.

### PTE-Exclusive

* Sword proficiency: Likely a footnote from "The Robomechabotatron", she is revealed to have a knack for swordplay.
	+ Keyblade: Her Keyblade manifested when it was discovered that light was found in her heart, and when Wander offered her the hand of friendship, it began to spark. This would later provide a clue that Dominator is closer to reforming than Bernadette and the Punch Time Exploders initially thought. The Keyblade itself reflects Dominator almost perfectly: the handle has a look similar to her helmet, with a black version of Lord Hater's skull, and the keychain is a miniaturized version of the doll of herself from "The Bad Neighbors". The blade is an orange-yellow color, and the teeth are modeled after an erupting volcano.
		- Single Misfortune: A Keychain that she acquired after the adventure in Atlantis. The handle is a combination of the claws of the Leviathan and Kida's childhood bracelet, the keychain itself is an Altantean crystal pendant, the blade is modeled after Kida's blade with Atlantean letters carved into the side reading "Atlantis", and the teeth resemble uncut crystals.
* After the Heartless attack on the Galactic Federation ship, Dominator has manifested these abilities in battle, mostly based on how much output she has on her lava and ice powers
	+ Lightning Manipulation: When the output is 50-50, she is able to manipulate lightning.
	+ Rock Manipulation: When the lava output is 75-25, she is able to create rocks to use as weapons or projectiles.
	+ Water Manipulation: When the lava output is 25-75, she can use water to her advantage in battle.
* Equinox: Due to her conflicted feeling about fighting on Rottenday's side, the light and darkness in her heart has caused her to manifest both dark and light magic. However, her powers started to surface in Punch Time Exploders Meet Shrek, and by the time the events of Prelude to Reformation happened, she had started training in Equinox magic in conjunction with using the Tome of Skylands.

## Partners

Even with the Punch Time Exploders as her teammates, Dominator still needs a little companionship, and that's what these guys are for.

### Pokémon

Starting in The Pokémon Girls: The Power of One, Dominator is learning how to train Pokémon, thanks to Bernadette.

### Other

* Fireshield: After her adventure in Berk, she had acquired a Monstrous Nightmare, but couldn't take it with her, so she is being cared for by Hiccup.

## Weaknesses

Her abilities appear to be tied to her armor. While disguised as "D" in "The Night Out", she could not use her normal lava powers, but was still strong and agile enough to hold her own in a fight.

As revealed in "The Flower," Dominator is not immune to common allergens or diseases. When the flower in question sprayed pollen in her face, Dominator began to sneeze uncontrollably, and it buys Wander and Sylvia time to escape.

Dominator's technology is also vulnerable to Lord Hater's lightning powers, making him one of the few known characters who can defeat her.

What was perhaps Lord Dominator's biggest weakness is her reluctance to destroy victims of hers that she is strongly fixated on bullying, even if they make for a formidable rival, like Lord Hater. She is so drunk with power that she never considers anyone to be an actual threat to her. In The End of The Galaxy, it was exactly this kind of mindset that led to her downfall. She considered the rebels to be "just a bunch of goofy idiots" and held off on destroying them all as much as she could, just for the fun of savoring their torment, thinking that they were powerless against her. As Wander pointed out, whenever Dominator had the chance to destroy them, she wasted those chances in favor of keeping them alive just to bully some more.

## Role in the Series

After the events of Wander over Yonder, she was found by Lord Rottenday and taken under his wing as a Lord for the Three Lords Alliance. However, she sworn off destroying planets after what happened and had shown signs of wanting to change for the greater good. For example, she refused to kill Snow White in Punch Time Exploders Meet Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and got fired after betraying Rottenday and Maleficent by freeing the heart of Princess Aurora.

After leaving Void, she wandered for a while until getting captured by the Galactic Alliance. Soon she was offered a chance to capture Experiment 626 with Jumba and Pleakley, but when the mission involved helping the Punch Time exploders rescuing Lilo, she felt like she needed to think things over and decided to fake her death.

It wasn't until Punch Time Exploders Meet Shrek that she decided to change for the better and join the team for good.

The events of Punch Time Exploders: Friendship is Magic, Prelude to Reformation, and Punch Time Exploders and the Legend of Spyro had inspired her to create Lord Dominator's Former Bad Guy Reformation Group, a support group dedicated to gathering former villains and other reformed characters and talk out their differences.

In The Punch Time Exploders Search for the Black Cauldron, her role in possessing The Tome of the Skylanders came to a head by the time the PTE had gathered the Skylander Crystals, and their new goal in stopping the Rottenday War by finding Spyro in Camelot will be reached.

### Disguises

Unlike the original source material, Dominator changes into different outfits and disguises from time to time.

* Dee: She uses hairspray to make her mohawk stand upright, and she wears a purple dress underneath a puffy jacket, purple triangular glasses, purple boots. She also briefly wore a black biker jacket with her initial on it, which she then ditches at the end of *The Night Out*, but regained in The Experiment.
* In Punch Time Exploders Meet Sleeping Beauty, she briefly disguised herself as Prince Phillip to get closer to Aurora, before the Punch Time Exploders that were with the latter exposed her.
* Cousin Dominique: Her Cousin Dominique persona wears a green sunhat, yellow pineapple blouse, a white sarong with red flowers and leaves (paralleling Lilo's red dress), and yellow and green sandals.

**The Glacier: Volcano’s New Girlfriend**
**Glacier**: Hey, guys. I’m the glacier. Volcano and I met when she was getting closer to ravaging the land. It took a lot out of me, but I managed to cool her down. In fact, the most unexpected thing happened to her. She thought going down a path of destruction and conquest was the only way to go, but let me just say, she was wrong. After a life-changing event, she decided to follow me and our friends on a brand new quest, and hopefully we’ll get through it together.
**Volcano**: Thanks, Glace. But right now, I’m not gonna worry about this competition, because I came, I saw, and I erupted! That Golden Mask Plaque is gonna be mine!

 The Glacier in her final clue package not only relates to her ice powers, but also to Bernadette.
