The Dominators were a race of near-Humans who controlled much of the Ten Galaxies. They were intensely utilitarian, and hesitate to misuse any amount of energy for matters that did not directly benefit the dominators and their mission. This was especially the case in energy management of their robotic laborers, Quarks.
The Dominators were similar to Humans in form, but over two and half metres tall with pale skin, dark hair and red-rimmed green eyes. (DWN: The Dominators (novelisation))
The Dominators used saucer-shaped craft which were powered by negative mass flux absorption. This negative mass flux absorption allowed the ships to absorb radiation and convert it to propulsion.
The Dominators used the Quarks as labourers in their forces. Though they used them for a variety of tasks, they preferred to use slaves where they could, in order to reserve their energy.
The Dominators used Neuro-Initiative Tests, or NIT. These tests are intelligence tests where the subject is shocked and then has to fit objects into similarly shaped holes. These tests are used to find out the suitability of other species for slavery and to determine their level of threat. (DWN: The Dominators (novelisation))
The Dominators controlled much of the Ten Galaxies, which they took by ruthless, calculated force. Eventually, their Quark forces were stretched thin, which meant they required slaves in order to fill the jobs that the Quarks were taken from. Several planets were researched for this purpose, such as Epsilon Zero Gamma and Dulkis.
The scouts sent to Dulkis consisted of Toba and Rago. The plan was to take the strongest Dulcians as slaves and then use a special seeding device dropped into the magma of the planet in order to destroy it. This destroyed planet would then have its energy used for powering the Dominator fleet. Though the Dulcians were unwilling to fight back, The Doctor was able to stop them from destroying the planet. (DW: The Dominators)
The Dominators and the Quarks attempted to invade Earth in the late 20th century. Their attempt to use the Earth's core as a fuel source is foiled by UNIT. (DWM: Fires Down Below)

The Dominators, collectively known as the Dominion, are a alien race from the outer cosmos of the DC Universe. They are highly technologically advanced, and live in a rigid hierarchical society, in which one's caste is determined by the size of a red circle on one's forehead. They are master geneticists who can manipulate the meta-gene to enhance members of their own caste.

As a Dominator, you control a devastating combination of control and assault powers. A Dominator can freeze foes in place, render them unconscious, or cause them to flee in terror. Dominators can also smite their foes with a selection of single-target melee and ranged attacks, albeit not with the same power as a Corruptor. However, each time a Dominator attacks, he comes closer to unleashing his true sadistic power of Domination. With so much emphasis on diverse offensive powers, Dominators lack in defenses and work best with teammates who can provide protection.
Faction: Villain
The Dominator's power sets are:
Primary: Control
Secondary: Assault
The Dominator has low Hit Points and High Damage.
A Dominator's primary power sets are designed for controlling enemies. They are:
A Dominator's secondary power sets are designed for assault. They are:
The Dominator as an Archetype is counterintuitive to play, difficult to master, and relies on mechanics and techniques that are not obvious to many styles of player. Furthermore, the Dominator has a legacy of being underpowered, and suffers in the early game slightly as the game becomes more difficult, often leading to them being considered a 'weak class'. While not as obviously powerful as the other Archetypes in City of Villains, strategic and tactical play can make a significant difference to the play experience.
The Dominator doesn't have any ways of protecting itself in its sets, and it gains a very small boost from most Pool Powers designed to improve Defense or Resistance; in practice, this means that the Dominator feels very vulnerable, and many Dominator players take this to mean they should play like a Blaster, or perhaps a Controller. This strategy can work in the early game, but it neglects some of the best powers in the Dominator's secondary, and generally makes for slow play. The Dominator's ranged damage isn't as good as its melee damage, and its controls are not as long-lasting outside of Domination.
What the Dominator player needs to consider to make the most of the early game is the idea of an Active Defense. The principle is simple; a Held opponent cannot hurt you. If you are fighting a group of three opponents, say, a Lieutenant and two Minions, by holding the Lieutenant, you have effectively reduced the amount of damage you will take by more than a third. At first, you won't be able to maintain more than one Hold at a time on an opponent, but provided you apply your Hold to the Lieutenant whenever it becomes available, it should be unable to fight you at all, while you engage the less dangerous minions. As you increase in level and your Holds last longer and you gain more and different controls, the number of opponents you can keep from attacking you increases. This means you can handle bigger groups, which means you can earn more experience, and faster.
Learning and adopting this principle is the first step towards a surviving Dominator. If you play like a Controller or a Blaster, using your controls to keep an opponent at bay while you whittle away at their health with ranged attacks, you will level slowly and be in trouble when you finally miss an opponent.
A good bit of advice for beginning Dominators is to set Domination as their auto-power. In the early game, this will give one an idea of how rapidly this powerful inherent builds. Too many Dominators see Domination as rare, something that has to be conserved and saved or it won't be available when they need it. The mindset claims that it doesn't want to 'waste' Domination. If one goes through a full mission with Domination fully charged and never uses it, then they have wasted it. Domination charges relatively fast and degrades slowly. It's very easy to take a break to rest, even go away from the game for a moment or two, and still have Domination accessible.
Domination often changes the course of a battle; it gives the Dominator a full bar of Endurance, it breaks them free from status effects and it multiplies the effect of their control powers. Sometimes, what counts as a control power can be a little oddly defined — Energy Assault's Bone Smasher, for example, is considered a control power because of a 60% chance for Disorient. Knowing what attacks benefit the most from Domination can alter one's attack style greatly.
The final note here is that once you start using Domination regularly and stop treating it as a rare thing that must be conserved, you will realize that sometimes you can rebuild Domination before the actual Domination power has recharged. This is a common enough situation, and one of the reasons some Dominators invest in Hasten. Hasten does three things for the Dominator — it allows Domination to recharge faster (by shortening its recharge time), it allows Domination to be built faster (by letting you make more attacks in a short amount of time), and it allows Domination to be used more effectively (by allowing you to make more attacks under the influence of Domination).
Domination's effects last 90 seconds. Activating it doesn't drain the Domination bar until after those 90 seconds end. The base recharge time for activating Domination is only 200 seconds. With enough recharge time reducers — typically [Hasten] combined with multiple instances of Speed Boost and/or Accelerate Metabolism — it is possible to activate Domination a second time off the original bar.
Here are a few more details on dominators. A strong way to play a dominator in PvP successfully is to know your enemies hold/mez resistance powers and how they work when affected by your holds. Probably the toughest archetypes to mez/hold are coincidentally the archetypes that can kill a dominator or controller the fastest: Scrappers, Stalkers, Tankers, and Brutes, and so will be your deadliest opponents.
Domination effectively makes a status magnitude double by adding a second instance of the original power cast upon a target target. There is no icon or animation for the second instance of the power, even according to the target affected by the hold/mez. The second instance of the power has a much shorter duration than the original power, however, in a PvP setting, the second instance of the power in unresistable, meaning no matter what strength of hold/mez resistance the target has, they will be affected.
The effect works a little different for a "click" resistance power. The first domination power to a player target that has a toggle mez resist power untoggles the resistance power, and the second hold cast on a player target of this type will hold the target. However, if the affected target has a "click" resistance power, meaning that it is a power that is clicked once and has a set duration, such as Unstoppable, Practiced Brawler, Indomitable Will, etc., the target will be held or mezzed during the duration of the unresistable second portion of the dominator power. After this portion of the power has worn off, if the magnitude of effects becomes lower than the targets current hold resistance, the target will no longer be mezzed. This includes "God Mode" powers, such as Elude or Kuji-in Retsu.
There is a cap on how long you can keep a player target affected. This is to prevent griefing, and to make it so dominators and controllers don't become an automatic win against archetypes with no mez resistance. The good news is that the holds will stay stacked on the target, and when the forced break from being mezzed is done, the target can become mezzed again.
