Dom Explodite

Dom Explodite is a main character of A Normal Day and the leader of The Chaos Council.

## Background

Dom Explodite is one of the six main characters along with Nick, Omar, Marc, Timmy, and David. Dom first appeared in Season 1 Episode 1, "The Pilot", along with the 5 other main characters. In the episode, Dom and his friends try to hijack The School's orientation and announce the formation and goals of The Chaos Council. Dom is the main orchestrator of this plan and is the leader of The Chaos Council at the time. Throughout Season 1 and for the rest of the show, Dom is a complicated character that walks the line between being an anti hero or a villain. He claims his end is to eradicate bullying everywhere, but this often gets blurred by things like vengeance, friendship, hatred, and love. His friends (besides Omar) often see him as a hero, but everyone else usually else sees him as a monster and a menace.

## Origin Story

In Season 3 Episode 1, "Dom's Origin Story", we learn what event caused Dom to become the person he is. In this episode, Dom explains to a group of fellow inmates why he became the radical Kid Chaos (He was in jail at the time). He says that he had been bullied and picked on ever since he started school in kindergarden. This came to a head in third grade, when a group of kids led by Obesha used a hot glue gun to permanently attach his trademark hat onto his head. The pain from that experience scarred not only his head, and his mind as well. Later that day, a group of kids were laughing at him about what happened, and that's when Dom finally snapped. He found some fireworks and set them off in class, causing complete chaos. After this, The Teacher grabbed Dom and threw him outside into the pouring rain. In this moment of darkness and regret, Nick, Omar, Marc, and David all go outside to check on Dom (they haven't become friends yet). They praise Dom for standing up to the bullies and start calling him the Kid Chaos. They also admit to Dom that they've been treated poorly and bullied by other students too. And in that moment, Dom vows to end bullying and make sure that no one will have to experience what he experienced ever again. That day, Dom found new friends and they united against a common enemy, but he also cemented himself as the most infamous kid in school, and this status would only worsen as time went on.

## Personality

In the public eye, Dom is seen and portrayed as brash, angry, devious, and vengeful. He's usually thinking of a way to enact a crazy scheme to further his own goals. These schemes are usually the driving force behind lots of episodes throughout the series and Dom drags the other characters along. Dom has very fragile mental stability, often having severe freakouts and outbursts of anger before thinking of a plot for revenge and or "justice". These traits were first seen in Season 1 Episode 4, "Dom and Timmy vs The Fun Run", where Dom has an outburst after kids at lunch begin teasing him for getting zero laps every year at the fun run, so he creates a scheme to ruin the event for everyone. This is only one of many examples of Dom's messy morality. Dom's not truly evil, but he does evil things only because he believes people deserve it. Dom often confuses justice with revenge, and he usually targets people who he believes are enemies or people who wronged him. He thinks that because said person did said evil act, that gives him a right to retaliate in response.

In Season 1 and Season 2, Dom is purely focused on getting revenge and taking down his enemies like Obesha and Suzzy. In Season 3 and onwards, Dom begins valuing his friends more and becomes motivated by avengeance more so than vengeance. In Season 4 Episode 2, "The Traitors Part 1" Nick, Omar, and David are hospitalized. In response, Dom vows to avenge them by breaking apart The Traitor's friend group. Dom may usually act like an out of control evil mastermind, but he does have limits. In Season 2 Episode 7,"Dam it Dom!", Dom accidentally blows up the dam and floods the town, but due to feeling guilty, Dom tries to set things right by creating and executing a plan to drain all the water.

Dom is a strong leader, after all, he is the founder of The Chaos Council. Dom is also a master manipulator, usually manipulating his friends (mainly Timmy) to help him with his schemes. Another one of Dom's most valuable traits is that he'll never give up even when against near impossible odds . He will never ever stop no matter how bad things may seem. He's escaped from jail, a mental hospital, and even the Underworld. He's relentless whenever a problem threatens him or his friends, like when he defeated his evil clone, toppled The Agency, and stopped a nuke all within a week in Season 3 (This did take encouragement from his friends). Although Dom has brought the town to near destruction on many occasions, he's also saved it just as many.

One of Dom's best and most surprising traits is his empathy and protectiveness, especially for his friends. He'll always defend a kid he sees getting bullied, like how he met Timmy in Season 8 Episode 3, "Dom and Timmy Origin Story". He'll always help others in need and is rarely ever seen giving up on someone. In Season 7 Episode 2, "The Notorious Notebook", Dom (with Marc) saved Nick from getting expelled from the school. Dom is also a surprisingly selfless person, being able to put other's happiness in front of his. In Season 8, Timmy confesses to Dom that he likes Ena, the girl Dom also likes. After learning this, Dom does everything he can to help Timmy so he doesn't have to experience the same pain he experiences because of his crush, but his plan to do this is still very morally dubious. Overtime, Dom uses his various schemes to help a wider range of people rather than just himself, even if the schemes themselves are still unethical. In season 4 episode 4, "Dom and Omar Adventure", Dom reveals that he threatens the teachers to give his friends good grades. While this action is morally dubious, Dom thinks it's justified because he is helping his friends. Dom even has compassion for his enemies and rivals, but this is rare. In Season 4 Episode 9, "A Tale of Two Simps", Dom is the only one that helps and supports Cyle after Ena rejected them. And when he finds out The Traitors had kicked Cyle to the curb, he convinces them to let Cyle back into the group. Dom was a better friend to his enemy than Cyle's actual friends. In Season 9, Dom was the one to encourage the rest of The Chaos Council to save Omar from space, despite the two being at odds for the entire series.

## Friends and Allies

### Nick Dakid

Nick was one of Dom's first friends and one of the first people to join The Chaos Council. He along with Marc, David, and Omar are the kids who followed Dom after he launched the fireworks and literally got thrown out of the school (as explained in Season 3 Episode,Dom's Origin Story"). Dom has a very positive relationship with Nick, and he is one of Dom's best friends. Like Marc, Nick is one of the main people Dom teams up with whenever he has a master scheme, and the three together make a crazy trio. Like with all his friends, Dom deeply cares about Nick and will often go out of his way to make his miserable life better. He was the one who supported Nick after he got rejected by everyone in Season 2 Episode 5, "Nick's Prom Problem", even if he was a bit mean at first. He also helped Nick get with his crush Missy in Season 4 Episode 5, "Nick's New Obsession", even if this plan backfired severely. Dom and Nelson even helped Nick find the location of his long lost parents in Season 6 (Nelson did all the work but it was Dom's idea). But as always, Dom's unethical and scheming nature does cause harm when he wants to help, like when he almost kidnapped Nick's crush in Season 6 Episode 8 "Happy Birthday Nick!".

Nick is one the people Dom is very protective of and he makes sure no one gets away with harming him, like in Season 4 Episode 2 "The Traitors Part 1". After all, Nick is a homeless orphan, and Dom likely feels sympathy for him due to his lifestyle. And unlike most of the other characters, Dom doesn't mind Nick's creepy tendencies. Dom and Nick actually bond often due to both of their hopeless love interests, like in Season 14 Episode 1, "Simp Squad Part 1". However, Nick and Dom aren't always on the best terms, and Nick will still turn on Dom if he believes he is going to far, like what happened in Season 1 Episode 9, "Chaos Council with Superpowers!". But even then, Dom will still always forgive Nick once everything blows over.

### Marc Joester

Marc and Dom met on that fateful day in third grade, the day Dom was literally thrown out of the school (as explained in Season 3 Episode, "Dom's Origin Story"). The two bonded over their mutual angry and they've been great friends ever since. Like with Nick, Marc is one of the people Dom teams up with whenever he has a master plan, but unlike Nick, Marc is more willing to go along with Dom's crazier schemes. Dom cares for Marc like all his friends, but isn't seen going out of his way to help him as much as with Nick and Timmy. This is because Marc doesn't usually need help and is more often the one helping Dom, like in Season 7 Episode 1, "Dom's Final Battle", where Marc trained Dom for his battle with Jaysen.

Dom has been the one to give Marc guidance from time to time, for better or for worse. In Season 4 episode 2, "The Traitors Part 1", Marc feels guilty after Nick, David, Omar are hospitalized by The Traitors. Dom convinces him that it is not one bit their fault and gets him on fully board with his scheme to break apart The Traitors' friend group. Personality wise, Marc has the most in common with Dom out of anyone in The Chaos Council. Dom and Marc share similar extreme and slighty psychotic personality traits, and the two often bond because of this. In season 1, Marc was the only one to stay and team up with Dom when everyone else left him. But Marc isn't completely on board with Dom's plans all the time, like when he helped Nick and Omar stop Dom in Season 1 once he realized he went too far.

### David McMayvid

David was one of the kids that followed Dom when he was literally kicked out of the school and he has been a distant yet good friend to Dom ever since. Dom's relationship with David isn't as strong as with some of his other friends, but that's because David is a very anti social and reserved person. Dom doesn't interact with David much outside of the main group, but despite this, Dom still cares for David all the same. David will still help and go along with Dom nearly whenever he has a scheme, like in Season 2 Episode 4, "Chaos Council the Movie!". Dom and David have similar frequent outbursts of anger, so Dom is usually the one to understand him whenever David has a mental breakdown.

Unlike most of the characters in the show, Dom doesn't mind that David has a waifu or body pillow, and even praises David after he learns his backstory in Season 7 Episode 3, "David's Body Pillow." He even helps David when he and the gang try and get David's waifu to become real in "David's Waifu". And even if the two don't interact much outside of the main group, Dom was still devastated when David joined The Traitors in "David the Traitor!". But like all of Dom's friends, David will turn on Dom when he goes to far, like in Season 1.

### Omar Shmo

Omar was one of the kids that followed Dom when he was literally thrown out of the school. Since then, Dom and Omar have had a very rocky and complicated friendship/rivalry. Omar has been Dom's most on and off friend throughout the series. Their differing ideologies often causes conflict between the two, and out of all of Dom's friends, Omar is the most hostile to Dom and is the least likely to help Dom with his schemes. More likely, Omar is the one to try and stop Dom whenever he's going too far. In the finale of Season 1, Omar is the one that orchestrated the plan to send Dom and Timmy to the camp (this was after Dom launched a massive clone raid on the school). But after they escaped, Dom was visually sad when he found out Omar joined The Conformists, but his expression quickly shifted to anger. Usually in the time after Dom does something insane, Omar doesn't quickly forgive Dom and even leaves the Chaos Council from time to time. After what Dom did in Season 8, Omar worked with the Suzzy and the conformists to figure out a non violent way to stop Dom once he returned.

The two get into pathetic hand to hand fights often throughout the early run of the series, like in Season 2 Episode 4, "Chaos Council the Movie!". Dom and Omar have massively different views on good and evil. Dom believes that revenge is right and that the only way to stop evil is with more evil. But Omar believes that revenge isn't justified and that more evil will only create more evil. In Season 4 Episode 4, "Dom and Omar Adventure!", Dom and Omar reluctantly team up to find their science teacher after they get an F on their report cards. Later in the episode, Omar learns that Dom threatens his teachers so that he and the rest of The Chaos Council. Omar is appalled and calls Dom evil, but Dom then goes on a rant about how the education system is the one that is evil, and that he is just trying to help his friends. Eventually, the two get into a fight that Omar loses. But when Omar goes back home to tell his parents the news about his F, he is shocked to find out that he has an A. He later finds out that Dom made the teacher give Omar an A along with the rest of his friends.

Despite the two nearly always being at odds, Dom and Omar have gone out of their way to help the other out. Omar is usually the one to help Dom and give him advice when he is going through a mental rough patch. In Season 3 Episode 6, "Crushed", Omar was the main one to help and talk Dom out of blowing himself up because of his depression over his crush on Ena. Omar also turned on Suzzy and The Popular Girls when they tried to send Dom and The Chaos Council to space in Season 9 Episode 6, "Go to Jupiter, to get more stupider". Despite their history, Dom surprisingly still cares for Omar just as much as his other friends. In Season 9 Episode 7, "Omar x Suzzy", Omar and Suzzy finally break up and at first Dom is happy. But after seeing how sad this makes Omar, he devises a plan with the rest of the Chaos Council to get the two back together (this plan still involved some nefarious action). Dom and Omar's conflict came to a peak when Omar got abducted by an old childhood friend in Season 9. When this happened, the Chaos Council had no idea what to do, but Dom was the one to encourage them to save Omar even if it seemed impossible at the time. Dom and Omar may be portrayed as rivals often, but very very deep down, Dom still cares for him despite all their battles.

### Timmy Twickletune

Unlike the other main characters, Timmy didn't meet Dom in the story explained in Season 3 Episode 1, "Dom's New Origin". We learn how Timmy and Dom actually met in Season 8 Episode 3, "Dom and Timmy Origin Story". In this episode, Dom explains how after the fireworks incident that turned him into the most infamous kid in school, a younger Dom saw a younger Timmy being bullied in the hallway. Possibly seeing a little bit of his former self in him, Dom stood up for Timmy and scared the bullies off. Dom offered to recruit Timmy to Chaos Council, and Timmy got really excited and said he never had any actual friends before. Later in the story, a group of bullies led by Obesha try and glue Timmy's pink cap to his head (the same way they did to Dom). Dom sees this and saves Timmy from having the same traumatic experience he had. After this, Timmy began seeing Dom as his hero and became his storta sidekick.

Since their meeting in third grade, Dom and Timmy have had a very complicated relationship that evolves greatly over time. Timmy is usually seen as Dom's naive partner in crime that Dom often manipulates for his schemes. Dom's extreme personality and Timmy's compassion causes the two to disagree often about the morality of what they are doing. Despite this, in the first few seasons Dom sees Timmy as a gullible kid that he could use and manipulate to further his own goals. This is first seen in Season 1 Episode 4, "Dom and Timmy vs the Fun Run", where Dom drags Timmy along in his plan to sabotage the fun run event. In Season 4 Episode 2, "The Traitors Part 1", Dom makes Timmy disguise as Iven to further his plan to break apart The Traitor's friend group. Timmy is always hesitant to go along with these kinds of plans, but Dom manipulates and convinces Timmy that he is doing the right thing. In Season 1 Episode 7, "Chaos Council vs The School", Dom kicks Timmy out of Chaos Council for hiding during their fight with the school. Timmy was the first and only character to ever be kicked from The Chaos Council, and even though Dom let him join back, Timmy was still devastated. Dom claimed that Timmy was weak because he cared about the bullies feelings, probably refering to when he felt bad for Obesha in Season 1 Episode 6, "Dom the Rapper". At the end of the Season, Dom does apologize to Timmy and Timmy forgives him, but this was only after he became Timmy the Terrorizer and nearly destroyed the town. In the Season 1 finale, Dom and Timmy both got sent to camp by Omar after what they did (Dom launched a raid on the school with his clones and Timmy tried destroying the town as Timmy the Terrorizer). In camp, it's likely that Dom and Timmy bonded greatly as a result of the experience.

Since then, Dom and Timmy's dynamic continued but Dom began to value him more as a friend, even though he still saw him as a weakling. Like with all of Dom's friends, Dom does care deeply for Timmy, even if he doesn't like showing it all the time. He's very protective of him and will always help whenever Timmy has a problem. In Season 5 Episode 4, "Finding Timmy", Dom never gives up on trying to find Timmy in the school during snowy day recess. In Season 5 Episode 5, "Wedding Crasher", Timmy doesn't want his Mom to marry his Step dad who has 11 kids who all pick on him. When he explains this to Dom, Dom is the one to lead the charge to try and get the wedding cancelled (even though his plan fails). Unnfortanetly, Dom is the one to push Timmy to do something bad whenever he is on the fence about something. In Season 7 Episode 7, "Timmy fakes his Death", Timmy becomes depressed and thinks that no one cares about his existence. When he is talking to Dom, Dom gives him the idea to fake his death to see if people actually care about him or not. After some convincing, Timmy reluctantly decides to do this with the help of Dom.

At this point, Dom and Timmy's friendship has some positive yet mostly negative elements, but it would change forever after Season 8. In this Season, Timmy develops a crush of Ena and falls into a depression, just like Dom did in Season 3. Having nowhere to go and no one to turn to, Timmy visits Dom in the rain seeking any kind of help. But to Timmy's shock, despite how in love Dom claims he is with Ena, Dom vows to help Timmy get together with her, even if that means doing some nefarious activity. Many speculate why Dom did this, some say he did this just to further his master plan throughout the season, and others say he was trying to ruin any Timmy chances had with Ena. But the most likely reason is that Dom doesn't want Timmy to experience the same pain he felt when he was in love. In the final scene of the Season, Timmy asks Dom why he helped him, and Dom responds by saying that despite how much he loves Ena, he values Timmy more. Their friendship would only get better, and eventually Dom finally realizes that Timmy is his true best friend in Season 13 Episode 4, "Dom's Comrade".

## Enemies

### The Traitors

The Traitors are a group of kids and are another one of Dom's greatest enemies that consist of Cyle, Arny, Ino, Buck, Murf, and Joek. But unlike all of his other villains, Dom actually used to be a member of The Traitors. This is revealed in Season 4 Episode 2, "The Traitors", where Dom explains to his friends that he used to be part of a friend group before the Chaos Council. He says that in third grade, he was part of The Traitors, but things didn't go too well and they belittled him constantly, even kicking him to the curb once he became too infamous after the fireworks incident. This could potentially be another reason for why Dom snapped that day. The Traitors first appear and have their first major story in Season 4 Episodes 2, "The Traitors Part 1", and Season 4 Episode 3, "The Traitors Part 2". In these episodes, Dom and The Chaos Council encounter The Traitors on the front steps where they usually eat lunch. After an argument, the principal arrives and throws Dom into time out. At first, Dom doesn't show that much anger and hostility for The Traitors despite what they did to him. But Marc quickly changes his mind and motivates him to try and seek revenge. Since then, The Chaos Council and The Traitors have been bitter enemies. Out of all of Dom's villains, The Traitors are the ones who underestimate him the most, like in their first episode where they believe he is capable of nothing. Even after Dom proves them wrong, this barely changes their opinion on him, and this is likely because they know the weak and pathetic kid Dom was when he used to be in their friend group. While Dom does despise The Traitors as a whole, the more complicated interactions lie within the specific members like Cyle and Arny. But Dom doesn't completely hate The Traitors unlike some of his other enemies, and he even saved them from Cyle in Season 16 Episode 8, "The Ultimate Simp".

#### Cyle

Cyle is the leader of The Traitors and Dom's biggest rival since Season 4. In Cyle's first episode, "The Traitors Part 1", Dom mostly saw him as an enemy that deserved punishment along with the rest of The Traitors, but over the course of the series, Dom and Cyle specifically have become bitter rivals, mainly over their shared love interest. In "The Traitors Part 2", things change once Dom learns that Cyle likes Ena, the girl Dom also likes. Dom claims he doesn't care and isn't worried, though later in the episode he makes Timmy reveal Cyle's secret to the entire school. Dom says that this was part of his plan to break apart The Traitors, but it's possible Dom did this because of the insecurities due to how his crush on Ena went. Dom and Cyle's dynamic takes a shift in Season 4 Episode 9, "A Tale of Two Simps". This is the first episode where Dom and Cyle's shared crush on Ena causes conflict, even though she doesn't like either of them. In this episode, Dom and Cyle get into a prank war over who gets to go to the school dance with Ena. The first two acts of this episode are pretty generic character wise, but that changes after Ena rejects both of them. Later in the day, Dom sees Cyle crying alone in the school hallway, and despite his friends telling him to be mean, Dom decides to try and help him. Dom likely remembered the pain he felt over Ena in Season 3, Episode 6 "Crushed", so he understands what Cyle is going through. Dom tries telling Cyle everything will be okay, but Cyle explains that his friends kicked him out of the group after Dom framed him for the body pillow. And surprisingly, Dom sets things right by telling The Traitors the truth and making them let Cyle back into the group. It's unkown if Cyle knows Dom did this, but either way, Dom was arguably a better friend to him than Cyle's actual friends.

Over the rest of series, Dom and Cyle's rivalry has only gotten worse. In Season 8, Dom executes a master scheme so that Timmy can date Ena. Dom also captures nearly all of The Traitors except Arny and Cyle for his anti evil operation (along with a bunch of other kids). Omar is convinced it was Dom's doing, but Cyle is confused about why Dom didn't capture him. The most likely reason is that Dom was trying to mentally torture Cyle with Timmy dating Ena along with his friends being missing.

Despite Cyle always calling Dom a crazy monster, Dom is the one to stop him whenever he goes to far. In Season 16 Episode 8, "The Ultimate Simp", Ena gives the two a challenge to get rid of their friends. Dom immediately doesn't accept because he actually cares for his friends, but Cyle takes this seriously and actually tries getting rid of The Traitors, so Dom takes it upon himself to save them. Dom and Cyle's rivalry came to a breaking point in Season 17, where Cyle won the lottery. He thinks that this means Ena has no reason to not be with him, but she rejects Cyle again, and this is when he finally snaps. Believing that he deserves her, Cyle uses his money to capture Ena and try to destroy the school with the help of The Traitors (Cyle was paying them), but Dom and The Chaos Council does stop him in the end.

#### Arny

Unlike all the other Traitors, Arny was the only one to appear in the series before the group's debut. Arny and Dom actually first met in Season 2 Episode 1, "Dom and Timmy's return". Arny was one of the people Dom freed from the camp, and he later becomes a member of the Chaos Council and a friend of Dom. But in Season 4, Arny has joined The Traitors. It is unknown when or why Arny left Chaos Council and joined The Traitors, but it was likely sometime in Season 3. Since his betrayal, Dom has had a complicated relationship with Arny. On one hand, Dom hates Arny for joining The Traitors, but on the other hand, he misses his former friend.

In Season 4 Episode 3, "The Traitors Part 2", Dom executes his scheme to break apart The Traitors. During this scheme, Timmy (disguised as Ino) tells The Traitors that Arny used to be part of The Chaos Council, so they kick him out of the group. Previously in the two parter, Dom tells Arny that he knows The Traitors will betray him, so knowing Dom was right, Arny reluctantly visits Dom on the roof. After Arny tells Dom what happened, Dom is overjoyed yet slightly sympathetic, so he let's Arny back into Chaos Council. Along with avenging his friends, it's likely that another one of Dom's goals was to get his friend Arny back. Despite Arny being part of The traitors, Dom still does care for him a bit. Later in the episode, Cyle tells Dom that The Traitors never cared for Arny, and Dom is shocked. But to Marc and Timmy's shock, Dom decides not to tell Arny and he frees him from the attic (Arny was captured at the time and Dom tried using him to bribe Cyle). When asked why he did this, Dom says that knowing that Arny's fake friends don't care for him would ruin his life, so Dom spared him. After this episode, Dom realized that Arny was too far gone, so there was no point trying to get him back anymore.
