| If Domino is created with the same powers as the Green Mask, why does he need ropes to escape his room and climb ups walls of buildings? He should be able to fly like his mentor. Meanwhile, it is refreshing (and unusual) to see the young sidekick fail in his first mission. Young and inexperienced, it would be logical for the sidekick to be captured and tied up. |
