Powers & Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Darkness Connection: After being shot in the head with a bullet formed from the Darkness, the small shade of dark essence within the bullet seeped into Dominic's brain. This allowed the power to disseminate throughout his body, enhancing his anatomy and giving him a connection to the Darkness itself.
- Enhanced Strength: After waking up from his coma, Dominic exhibited dramatically increased strength; sufficient to tear a Darkling's head off single-handedly as well as casually manhandle any one of his mobsters; even those significantly more muscular than himself, including Jackie and his own son.
- Artillery Conjuration: The Don can reach into the faces of other Darkness enhanced individuals reanimated by it's power to pull out a pair of pistols. Munitions which seem to briefly negate Jackie's abilities.
- Increased Durability: Dominic's resistance to injury and pain was likewise augmented by his miraculous resurrection through the Darkness. He seamlessly functions even with a bullet lodged in his brain as well as easily being able to withstand being fired upon multiple times by Darkness-formed bullets.
Abilities[]
- Business Acumen: Dominic was a respectable business man and possessed large amounts of power and wealth.
- Unarmed Combat: Combined with his enhanced strength and durability, Dominic was a formidable opponent in combat. He was able to defeat empowered Jackie in a fist fight.
Weaknesses[]
- Hallucinations: Likely as a side-effect of the brain damage he received from the bullet, Dominic is susceptible to vivid hallucinations that severely tamper with his connection to reality. He seems to live almost completely within a fantasy vision; one that could be orchestrated by the Darkness.
Trivia[]
- Dominic Alberto is the first character from one-shots to appear in main series later on.
