[edit] Fictional character biography
Dominus was the channel by which this alien race named "The Arcane" conquered planet after planet. He first appeared in The Uncanny X-Men # 21 (June 1966) entitled "From whence comes... Dominus?"; [1] however, he was first mentioned on The Uncanny X-Men # 20, the one on which Professor Charles Xavier reveals a secret to Jean Grey by telling her one of the great reasons he founded the X-Men: to one day meet the further threat of Lucifer.
At Lucifer's command post, the Supreme One checks in with his Agent, Lucifer, and says that the time is ready for his true purpose, which is to deploy Dominus. Dominus and Lucifer were temporarily defeated by Charles Xavier, who suffered a debilitating injury in the process. Xavier's X-Men would later defeat Lucifer.
[edit] Dominus's Minions
Dominus employed a number of servants in contending with the costumed champions who opposed its attempts to conquer the Earth. One of them was Sunstroke, a human being. The others were sentient beings created from lizards ("Gila"), cacti ("Cactus"), and rocks ("Butte") by means of the robot's alien technology. Dominus was able to create duplicates of each of the three artificially created beings.
