"I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters. For those ten seconds or less, I'm free."
―Dominic Toretto[src]

Dominic "Dom" Toretto is the eldest son of Jack Toretto, the brother of Jakob and Mia, husband to Letty Ortiz, the uncle of Jack and his younger sister, the cousin of Fernando, and the father of Brian Marcos.

An elite street racer and auto mechanic, Dom is a man with a strong moral code and family values, Dominic began as a career criminal who robbed trucks to support his family. Banned from the professional circuit, Dominic relied on illegal quarter mile races to satisfy his passion for racing. When he met Brian O'Conner, his family was torn apart by the revelation that Brian is an undercover cop. Dominic escaped from the United States and reestablished a new crew, running several jobs around Central and South America.[3][4]

He joined forces with Brian again after returning to Los Angeles to avenge the apparent death of his wife Letty.[4] After helping incarcerate drug lord Arturo Braga, he was sentenced to prison for twenty five years to life for his previous crimes before escaping the law and fleeing to South America once more, where he and his crew came into conflict with corrupt businessman and drug lord Hernan Reyes and Diplomatic Security Service agent Luke Hobbs in Rio de Janeiro.[1]

Dominic earned his freedom after he and his crew helped Luke take down former British Special Forces soldier Owen Shaw, while rescuing an amnesiac Letty.[5] He settled the score with the Shaw family after defeating former British military assassin Deckard Shaw, the man responsible for seemingly killing his friend, Han Seoul-Oh.[6]

He was later forced to betray his team due to Cipher threatening his son, but with the help of the Shaw brothers, he was able to rescue his son and rejoin his team.[7]

Three years after, Jakob resurfaced for revenge against Dom and threatened to destroy the current world order using a device called Project Aries. Dom gathered his team once more to go after Jakob and his partner Otto, who later teamed up with Cipher, and, along the way, face the past he ran away from for the sake of his son, Little Brian.

Two years later, Dom and his team met their deadliest enemy yet, Dante Reyes, Hernan's son who sought revenge for the death of his father and the loss of his family's money and legacy. Dante managed to separate Dom from his teammates, frame them as terrorists in the eyes of the world and the Agency and steal their money to buy the loyalty of hundreds of men. In an intense car chase in Portugal, Dom witnessed in horror as Jakob sacrificed himself to eliminate some of Dante's henchmen before he and Little Brian were cornered by Dante, who blew up a bridge under them, with the fates of Dom, his son and many of their friends remaining unknown.

Biography

Early Life

Dominic Toretto was born on August 29, 1976[1] as the oldest child in the Toretto family. His father, Jack Toretto, was a professional stock car driver who earned a reputation on the track and his family, including his sister Mia Toretto and brother Jakob Toretto, owned and ran a market and cafe shop. As a child, Dominic befriended the likes of Vince during the third grade. At some point he befriended Letty, a neighborhood local, around the time she was ten years old, based on their shared interest in cars. However, he never took a romantic interest in her until she was sixteen years old. In addition to keeping up his family's business, Dominic also participated in illegal street races for money and to sustain his passion for racing.[note 2][8]

Dominic's Father

"Um... I watched my dad burn to death. I remembered hearing him scream. But the people that were there said that he had died before the tanks blew. They said it was me who was screaming."
Dominic Toretto to Brian O'Conner[src]

Jack Toretto, Dominic's father

Dominic's father was a proactive figure in his life. He helped Mia with her homework, reading ahead of chapters to help her the following day.[1] The Torettos also attended church and held family barbecues for their neighbors.[1] Dominic helped his father build what would become the 1970 Dodge Charger R/T, "900 horses of Detroit muscle". His father used the Charger to participate in the Los Angeles County Raceway in nine seconds.[8]. However, Dom's father was facing some financial issues and was planning to throw a race to give the family a better life.

Death of a Father

"That’s my dad! That’s my Dad! We gotta get him out of there, We gotta get him out of there!"

Dominic and his father moments before his death

During the last stock car race of the 1989 season, Dominic and his brother Jakob worked on their father's pit crew along with another member, Buddy Hubbard. Before the final lap, Jakob and Dominic were working on their father's car. Dominic argued with the pit crew of another racer, Kenny Linder, who were talking poorly of the Torettos. As their father got back onto the track, he was run off the track by Linder when Linder's car clipped his bumper. Dominic's father was killed instantly when his stock car crashed into the wall at 120 miles per hour and burst into flames. Dominic remembered hearing his father screaming as he burned to death, but the people who witnessed the accident explained that his father had died before his car exploded. Dominic had been the one screaming.[8]

A week following the accident, Dominic and Jakob were at the track sorting through their father's possessions and encountered Linder, who was paying his respects. After Linder talks trash about their father, Dominic pulled Jakob back and attacked Linder, beating him with a wrench. Dominic only intended to hit him once, but lost control and kept attacking Linder it until he couldn't lift his arm anymore. The result of Linder's injuries rendered him unable to race, Dominic was banned for life from the tracks.[8]

Imprisoned at Lompoc

"Two years in Lompoc. I'll die before I go back."
―Dominic Toretto to Brian O'Conner[src]

Dominic was sent to Lompoc Prison for two years for assaulting Linder. Whilst there prison, he met Tego Leo and Rico Santos.

Exiling his Brother

Whilst in Lompoc Prison, Dominic came to the realisation that his father's car was tampered with and that was the cause of the car blowing up. Dominic realises that Jakob was the last one to work on the car and he began to resent Jakob and blame him for his father's death. After being released from prison in 1991, Dominic tracked down Jakob, who had become a proficient street racer, and challenged him to a race with the deal being if Dominic won, Jakob would have to leave LA and disappear forever. Dominic beat Jakob and as a result Jakob left LA. Over the years, Jakob's hatred for his brother increased and eventually he would come back after Dominic.

Street Racing / Life of Crime

"I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters. Not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I'm free."
―Dominic Toretto to Brian O'Conner[src]
Dominic F1-07

Dominic watches Brian from the back of the market.

Since Dominic’s release from prison, he continued running his family’s market with Mia. In addition he established a local automotive shop, which doubled as a front for his illegal street racing ventures at night. Dominic and his friends remained tied to the criminal life. In order to make more money on the side to support their livelihoods, they committed a series of highway robberies, such as stealing appliances from transporting trucks using their cars. Using black Honda Civics, Dominic, Jesse, Vince, Leon and Letty attacked four trucks and stole $1.6 million worth of major electronics. The only identifiers the truck drivers could give the Los Angeles Police Department were the neon-green lights on the underbelly of the Coupes.

Infiltrated by the LAPD

Brian O'Conner, an undercover LAPD officer under the alias "Brian Earl Spilner", is assigned to find out who is stealing the merchandise. Three weeks into his undercover assignment, he visits Toretto’s Market & Café to speak with Mia and order a tuna sandwich. Dominic, inside the market at the time, remains at the back of the store and listens in on their conversation. Following the arrival of his friends, Vince and Brian get into a fight about the number of times he’s visited the market.

Mia and Letty demanded that Dominic break up the fight. Reluctantly, Dominic leaves the market and intervenes in Vince’s fight with Brian. He questions the false name on Brian’s license and tells him to never visit their market again. When Brian protests, Dominic doubly fires him from Harry’s store and The Racer's Edge.

Befriending Brian O'Conner

Dominic F1-04

Dominic after he wins the street race of the night.

Later that night, Dominic and the others congregate at a local street race. Prior to the preparation of the race, Letty catches him flirting with two girls, Camille and Monica. When she doesn’t buy that he was merely speaking with them, he turns his attention to his friend Hector, who announces he accumulated over $2,000 worth of buy ins for the quarter mile race. With no money, Brian offers the pink slip to his 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

If he loses, the winner of the race gets his car. Dominic and the other racers oblige his terms. During the quarter mile, Dominic, driving a 1993 Mazda RX-7 is able to beat everyone, winning the money and Brian’s car. Brian, who comes in dead last, proudly claimed that he almost had Dominic. Unimpressed, Dominic relays that Brian never had him and was guaranteed to lose his car.

Leon warns Dominic and the other racers of the police’s arrival. Dominic runs with the rest of them. Driving into a parking garage, Dominic hides his Mazda and continues his escape on foot. When he is caught by the police, he runs down an alley. Brian appears in time and gives him a ride. Brian evades the police with little incident. Dominic assures Brian that he’s gained his trust, but wasn’t keeping his car.

When he asks if Brian ever committed any felonies, Brian downplays his offenses. Using the information he was given by Jesse (who ascertained Brian’s falsified records online), Dominic brings up his history of grand theft auto. Brian shifts the conversation to Dominic and asks if he ever did time in prison. Dominic mentions his two year stint in Lompoc, a place he would die to avoid.

Crossing Johnny Tran

Dominic F1-05

Dominic and Brian talk about Johnny Tran on the way back to the city.

Dominic and Brian are surrounded by Johnny Tran and his crew. Dominic, realizing too late that they’ve strayed into Tran’s territory, tries to explain that it was an unavoidable mistake made by his “new mechanic”, Brian. Tran questions the ownership of the Mitsubishi. Dominic deflects Brian’s immediate association to the Mitsubishi and tells him that he doesn’t own it on account not taking delivery. Tran declares the car belongs to no one and appears to leave. However, he doubles back and destroys the Mitsubishi. During the beginning of their hike back to the city, Dominic explains that bad blood between himself and Tran was the result of a business deal gone sour and sleeping with his sister.

They catch a taxi back to the Toretto house. When Brian returns, Dominic decides to invite him in. He uses Brian’s presence against his crew to remind them that none of them thought to look for him when they escaped the street race and returned to his house. Dominic creates more discord between Vince and Brian by offering Brian the Corona he takes from Vince. Dominic is forced to leave the first floor of the house to entertain Letty, who wanted a massage. Before heading upstairs, Dominic reminds Brian that he owes him a ten second car.

Brian's Debt

Dominic F1-06

Dominic after Brian presents him his new ten second car.

The following day, Brian arrives to Dominic’s garage with a rusted 1994 Toyota Supra MK IV. While Dominic is unimpressed with the state of the car, Jesse is confident it can be restored. During the repairs of the Supra, Brian slowly gains Dominic’s trust. His cover is nearly blown by Vince, who correctly assumes that Brian is a cop when he and Dominic catch him leaving Hector’s garage. An uncertain Dominic chooses to believe that Brian was trying to figure out what Hector and Johnny Tran were going to use on their cars for the Race Wars event. Brian takes them to Tran’s garage, where they find several electronics similar to the ones stolen from the four truck robberies and cars without engines.

When Dominic learns that Brian has begun seeing his sister, Mia, Dominic warns Brian he'll break his neck if he breaks her heart. Brian’s confidence that he wouldn’t hurt Mia lead to Dominic showing him his father’s 1970 Dodge Charger. Dominic explains the history of the car he built with his father and the regrettable actions that led to his attacking a stock car racer, Kenny Linder, who he believed was responsible for the stock car accident that killed his father.

Race Wars

Dominic F1-01

Dominic listens to Brian, who wants to in on his side business.

With only thirty six hours to pin the truck thefts on Dominic, Brian becomes aggressive with his attempts to earn Dominic’s trust. Following a brief race with a Ferrari owner, Dominic and Brian have lunch at a grill. Brian comes forward with his assumptions, that Dominic was earning more money than the market and garage could get him and asked for an in on Dominic’s side business. Instead of giving him an in, Dominic gives Brian the directions to the Race Wars.

At the event, Dominic and his crew set up and prepare for the races. Jesse loses his Volkswagen Jetta to Johnny Tran in a race, he flees the scene with Johnny’s car. Angry, Tran accuses Dominic of selling him out to the police. Dominic attacks Tran, declaring that he would never sell anyone out to the police. When he is pulled away from Tran, Dominic and Vince appear to leave the event. Later that night, Dominic gets into a fight with Mia, who tries to stop him from committing the fifth truck theft with Letty, Vince and Leon.

Flawed Truck Theft

He refuses to listen to her and leaves with the others. They meet at a lookout outside of Thermal where the Honda Civics was hidden. Letty, Vince and Leon express uncertainty about trying to attack another truck without Jesse. Dominic assures the crew that they would be taking a “long vacation” after the fourth truck score and tells Letty that he had a dream about their being in Mexico together.

On the road, Dominic and Vince position themselves in front of the truck. When Vince is able board the front of the truck, the driver fires on him with a shotgun.

When Dominic catches up with Brian, he has shot and killed Tran. He leaves immediately afterward and stops at an intersection.

Racing Brian / Escape

Dominic F1-08

Brian O'Conner lets Dominic Toretto go.

Without saying it, Dominic tells Brian that he intends on escaping when he makes a run for the train tracks. Brian pursues Dom in quarter mile race. As a train approaches, Dominic's car begins to malfunction. He and Brian are able to pass the tracks, narrowly missing the train as it barreled toward them. Dominic fails to pay attention to the road afterward and is side swiped by an unexpected truck and his car flips over. Dominic survives the roll the Dodge makes, but the car is too damaged to use. With the police on the approach, Brian gives Dominic the keys to his Supra, stating that he still owed him a ten-second car. Dominic takes the keys and escapes.

Baja, Mexico

Following Dominic's escape from Los Angeles, he relocates to Baja, Mexico. During Dominic's time in Mexico, he meets Han Seoul-Oh. The two establish a relationship and begin traveling. When the two relocate to the Dominican Republic, they meet a man named Armando and form a friendship. Han would later become a member of Dominic's crew.[3]

Whilst off the grid, Dominic is mentioned several times by Agent Bilkins and U.S. Customs agent, Markham to Brian who is now in hiding in Miami for letting Dom escape. Roman Pearce, Brian's childhood friend, often questioned the history he had with Dominic, considering it led to his then present life as an ex-LAPD officer on the run. Brian confesses to Roman that he let Dominic go because he felt responsible for not being to help him when Roman was arrested and imprisoned for three years for harboring stolen cars.[9]

Dominican Republic

They enjoy a brief dinner with Santos' family before heading out.

When Leo is freed, they head to a local club to meet with wealthy local, Elvis. Elvis informs them of a window of opportunity to hijack a gas shipment on a tanker. Dominic makes a deal with the man to be ready to steal the gas and give it to the people, so long as he honors his word. While relaxing at the club afterwards, Dominic is reunited with Letty Ortiz, who tracked him from Mexico. The two drive together to the beach, where they rekindle their relationship.

Dominic supersedes Zizi’s orders to meet at the “same place” where Vince went and told Mia to wait for his call.

When Mia veers off Zizi’s planned course, he tries to shoot her. Brian and Dominic fight Zizi and his men off long enough to escape 1963 Chevrolet Grand Sport Sting Ray.

At a local street race, Dominic and the others are cornered by Hobbs who intends to arrest all of them. However, Dominic uses the local’s resentment of authority to his advantage with several armed men, who refuse to allow Hobbs to arrest them.

Hobbs and his team retreat. Dominic and the others use the tracking device Tej placed on Hobbs’ vehicle to maintain vigilance on whereabouts. Dominic, realizing that Elena still had his cross, breaks into to Elena's house to recover his cross. He waited until Elena entered her house and disarmed herself.

Although he eventually bests Hobbs when seeing Mia and Brian in danger, Mia's pleas for him to stop eventually causes him to surrender and allow himself and the others to be arrested.

Joining Forces with Hobbs / Vince's Murder

While transporting them to an airport for extradition to the United States, the convoy is attacked by Reyes' men. Dominic and the others are released by Elena and aid Hobbs in fighting back against Zizi and their men. They kill every man except Zizi and escape. On the way back to their safe house, Dominic learns that Vince was fatally wounded. Before he dies, Vince tells Dominic that he named his son, Nico, after him.

Dom and Mr

Dom and Mr. Nobody discuss their plan with the team to rescue Ramsey.

Dom is brought with him to a convert ops command center and is told by Mr. Nobody that they can help each other get what they both need. Mr. Nobody later informs him that a hacker known only as Ramsey has been captured by a wanted terrorist named Mose Jakande because he is pursuing something Ramsey helped develop called God's Eye, which is a surveillance system that can spot anybody from anywhere in the world. Using this, Dom can locate Shaw and take him down. As Dom accepts this offer, he is joined by Brian, Tej, Roman, and later Letty, who came back. After discussing how to get to their location, the guys come up with a plan to infiltrate the bus that is carrying Ramsey, while Dom asks Tej to help him put armor on one car.

Liberating Ramsey

They attempt to play another game of chicken, but as they charge toward each other, Dom is able to lift the front of his car up at full speed and it crushes the front part of Shaw's car. After backing out, Shaw gets out of his crushed vehicle, drops his firearm and pulls out an unknown metal stick from his car, but Dom pulls a shotgun on him saying, "You thought this was gonna be a street fight?" referring to what Shaw said earlier. As Shaw grins, Dom shoots his shotgun away from him, throws it back into his car and pulls out a pipe and a wrench, saying, "You're goddamn right it is." As Shaw rips off another unknown metal stick from his vehicle, the two engage in an epic one-on-one brawl all over the roof of the parking garage. During the fight, Shaw manages to gain the upper hand, but after he kicks Dom toward his car, he sees a pack of grenades in Shaw's car and as Shaw strikes him again, Dom starts to throw him around. Shaw hits Dom with one of his sticks after Dom body slammed him, before Jakande intervenes and attacks them both thinking Shaw is no longer useful to him, and Shaw is defeated when part of the parking garage collapses beneath him, which Dom stomps.

As Jakande prepares to kill Dom, Hobbs, who broke out of the hospital, attacks Jakande's helicopter with a mini-gun.

As Dom left Isabel's house, he noticed he was being followed by Aimes and instructed the locals to delay him so he could escape. When Dom arrived at the police station, he discovered that Dante was tracking all of his family, including associates like Magdalene Shaw, Monica Fuentes, Suki, Sean Boswell, Buddy and Elle, and then got a call from Dante who informed him that the Agency knew where he was. Aimes arrived with the Agency and arrested Dom.

F10 0803

As Dom was being transported to a prison, the van was ambushed by Dante and his henchmen. Aimes threw Dom a gun and the two worked to take down Dante's henchmen but they were interrupted by Dante revealing that he kidnapped Isabel and he threatened to kill her. Tess arrived, having followed them to Rio, and she and Aimes were shot by a sniper in a helicopter. When the sniper tried to shoot Isabel, Dom pushed her out of the way and used a car door to defend them. Dante stole God's Eye from Tess and fled in his helicopter.

Dom instructed Isabel to take Tess to the hospital, giving her a chance to honor her sisters legacy. Aimes and Dom joined forces, with Dom being unaware that this was a trap set by Dante and Aimes. Dom requested Aimes help getting to Portugal where he knew Jakob would be with Little B.

Portugal

"You made one mistake. You never took my car."
―Dominic Toretto to Dante Reyes[src]
F10 0873

Aimes and Dom travel to Portugal by plane where Jakob and Little B were being pursued by Dante, and Dom drove his car out of the plane and onto the highway below to join them. Aimes instructed Dom to do what he needed to do and then meet him at the airstrip nearby where Tej, Han, Ramsey and Roman were being transported to in another plane. Dante kidnapped Little B from Jakob's car and then had two helicopter lift Dom's car off the ground, however he was able to destroy the helicopters by driving to a road below causing the helicopters to crash into each other and blow up.

F10 0949

After reminding Little B of advice he gave him during a driving lesson, Little B was able to escape from Dante's car and get into Dom's car. Realising that Dom couldn't escape whilst he was still being pursued, Jakob thanked Dom for welcoming him back into the family and letting him escape from his shadow and used the canons on his car to cause an explosion to take out Dante's henchmen, seemingly sacrificing himself in the process.

F10 1011

With Dom free of Dante and his henchmen, Aimes instructed him to take the service road to the airstrip however Dom found himself cornered by two semi-trailers that were being remotely piloted by Dante. Dante revealed that Dom had fallen for another trap and as Roman, Ramsey, Tej and Han's plane arrived, it was shot down by Aimes who revealed his partnership with Dante to Dom. Dante reminded Dom that he was predictable and this time the villain wouldn't be joining his family after witnessing the vault heist in Rio. Dante then sent the semi-trailers towards Dom's car and Dom, who reminded Dante that he hadn't separated him from his car, was able to drive off the bridge into the dam below, with the collision of the two trucks causing an explosion which destroyed Dom's car.

Dom and Little B survived the explosion and resurfaced. Now without his car, Dante revealed that he had rigged the bridge with explosives and sets them to detonate, leaving Dom and Little B's fate unknown.

Fast & Furious: Spy Racers

"You think a couple of guys could pull up and kidnap me? That takes an army. This is Ms. Nowhere. I've worked with her organization in the past. And now she needs your help."
―Dominic Toretto to Tony Toretto[src]

Dom meets up with his cousin Tony Toretto and his friends on a street in Los Angeles, after witnessing Tony lose a race against Mitch, a fellow street racer. Tony is upset that he lost to Mitch once again, and Dom tells Tony that as a Toretto, he is born to win, but that being a Toretto wasn't about what he did in a car but with what was in his heart. Dom inquires whether Tony's car could make it back home, to which Tony's friend Cisco Renaldo, a mechanic, replies that while it would not win any races (its fuel pump is loose and is being held by a piece of chewing gum), it would be able to make the trip back home. As Dom walks away, telling Tony that there's something he wants to tell him about at home, a van pulls up with masked men who subsequently kidnap Dom. Tony gets in his car and decides to give pursuit, with Echo and Cisco doing so as well; since Frostee Benson is only thirteen, he rides with Cisco, although he uses his technical expertise to have a drone follow the van at all times so that they can track Dom's whereabouts.

Their attempts to follow the van are hindered when they are chased by a group of bikers, prompting them to all split up. Cisco's vehicle is much too large and slow to outrun or outmaneuver the bikers, although Frostee recommends that they use that to their advantage and head somewhere the bikers cannot follow, prompting him to drive through a construction site. Echo zips through traffic and drifts underneath a truck while the bikers behind her collide and crash, and she gleefully notifies her friends that she is no longer being followed. Tony's attempts to shake off his followers begin to go awry when his fuel pump becomes loose again. Knowing that he cannot drive at this speed much longer, he sees a group of low-riding cars going up and down and decides to speed through them as they go up; as the cars lower, it hits the bikers, leaving Tony free to follow the drone's tracking signal.

The gang find themselves outside a warehouse, where the signal has led them. Cisco cautions Tony against rushing in, citing that they do not know what is in there, only for Tony to reply that Dom is in there and to kick in the door. The group find themselves facing none other than Dom and a woman who has been timing them, whom Dom refers to as "Ms. Nowhere". Dom explains that he wasn't actually kidnapped, citing that a group of guys would not be able to do so and that it would take an army, and that the whole endeavor was a test; Ms. Nowhere, whose organization Dom has worked with in the past, needs a group of street racers to infiltrate SH1FT3R, a criminal organization who hosts street races to serve as cover for its massive heists, with its leader Shashi Dhar already haven stolen over three billion dollars from Silicon Valley's richest men. Tony wonders why they need them when Dom is there, to which Dom laughingly responds that he cannot go undercover as he would recognized instantly, and that a group of new street racers are needed, hence why he recommended Tony and his friends. As Tony agrees, Dom tells him not to just follow orders but to follow his gut. As he leaves, he warns Ms. Nowhere that SH1FT3R would be the least of her worries if she does not keep Tony safe.[10]

Dom (Spy Racers)

Dominic arrives to the rescue

Sometime later, after Ms. Nowhere and Gary are confined in a cell at a military base, Dominic arrives to free them. Dominic reminds Nowhere that she had asked him to keep Tony safe and she retorts that trouble seemed to follow the Torettos wherever they went. Ms. Nowhere, Gary, and Dominic take the jet and fly above the Las Vegas Strip, where they notice a building demolishing. With no way to safely exit the collapsing building, Tony drives out of one of the windows in desperation; before he can plummet, however, he is snagged by a harpoon fired by Dominic and is towed into the plane.

Tony & Dominic Toretto

Dominic saves Tony

Now safely onboard the plane, Tony is shocked to see Dominic there. As Nowhere and Gary approach them, Dominic states that he would always be there for his family, and Tony says that he had always wanted to be like Dom but never realized what that truly meant, to which Dom replies that Tony still stepped up and finished the job and that he is proud of him.[11]

Personality

"You don't turn your back on family. Even when they do."
―Dominic Toretto to Brian O'Conner[src]

Dominic has been described as "a family guy"[12] Dominic is a "caretaker"[13], defined largely by his emotional ties. In contrast to Brian's estranged relationship with his father, Dom puts family first. Dominic is very protective of Mia and extremely loyal to anyone he considers family. He will do anything he can for them, even traveling to a foreign country to retrieve their body for a proper burial.[6] Dominic is a religious man on account of his upbringing, attending church as a child with his father and sister.[8]

While not overtly religious, Dominic relies largely on the faith he places in people.[4] He requires everyone at the table wait until the food is blessed before eating, or bless the table when they eat before the blessing takes place.[note 3][8][1][5] He uses the cross he wears around his neck representation of his love for wife, Letty Ortiz, who has known since childhood.[8][6] Dominic recalls his father's influence on him and the things he did for Mia as as child as the reason he considers family as most important.

Dominic is impulsive and has little control over his temper. He tends to attack people whenever they insult him, or when he sees something he doesn't like. Dominic doesn't even bother asking for the full story and attacks the offender before an explanation, as seen when he attacked Kenny Linder following his father's death[8], and Brian, when he assumed Brian's actions resulted in Letty's death at the hands of Braga's cartel.[4] His lack of control has often resulted in grievous consequences for the one attacked.

During his time on the run in Rio and onward, after hearing about Mia's pregnancy, Dominic develops a better impulse control, possibly wanting to set a good example for Mia's unborn child.[1] He doesn't attack Owen Shaw following his meeting with Letty, something he would've normally done in the past. Instead he speaks with Owen, who is confident that Dominic's moral code and familial ties makes him vulnerable to attack.[5] Dominic holds himself a strong sense of pride. While not arrogant, he is self-assured in his abilities as a driver and fighter.

His moral code often restricts him from using dirty tactics when disadvantaged, but he is not above using them when cornered. In at least one instance, he attempted to fight Deckard Shaw in without weapons on assumption that that elder Shaw brother operated on a similar moral code. Dominic refused to kill Deckard the same way when he had the same opportunity and favored melee combat.

Dominic's passion for racing was sustained by illegal street racing on account of being banned from the professional circuit. He considered little of his life in-between the quarter miles races and considered them his true freedom. Following the reformation of his crew in South American, his desires were refocused on his desire to uphold his family unit. His criminal activity was primarily motivated by the desire support his family financially. Following the theft of Reyes's $100 million dollars, Dominic, Mia and Brian retire from to leave the life of theft.

Dominic is frequently mistaken by his opponents as ignorant or lacking intelligence. However, Dominic is mindful of his surroundings and often plans ahead when the situation calls for it. His desire to protect his family boarders on self-sacrifice. He was willing to risk his livelihood to steal back the military satellite CPU from Owen Shaw as Shaw's plane began to crash. In extreme instances, Dominic often tries to sacrifice himself for the advance of his friends and family's survival even it means he'll die in the process.

While Dominic holds his friends and family above all else, he has said that there are rare occasions where he, at least for several seconds, feels free of his responsibilities, as he has also said "I live my life a quarter of a mile at a time."

  • Peak Human Condition: According to the God's Eye, Dominic is 6'1" and weighs 215 pounds, with a muscular build. He has proven himself to wield immense strength and durability in addition to being surprisingly fast and agile, being quite athletic due to his extensive life as an outlaw and his stint in prison.
    • Peak Human Strength:
      Dom Lifts the HyperSport

      Dom lifting the front of a supercar

      Dominic possesses practically low-level superhuman strength. He is able to easily overpower weaker opponents, even quite a few of those that included extensively trained fighters, surpassing the likes of Brian O'Conner, who he could easily toss aside and quickly break out of his grip and slam him to the ground with a simple motion, Owen Shaw, who he was able to knock back with his blows and even throw him to a concrete box with enough force to break it, and Deckard Shaw, who he easily uppercut off his feet and several feet away and could pick up by the collar and slam him with enough force to cause him visible pain. His blows were able to punch through concrete and dent a car when he punched it instead of Shaw, which angered him to the point he was able to lift him up and throw him into a car windshield from a further distance. He could also lift Connor Rhodes by the throat and off the ground. His greatest feat of strength was stomping the ground weakened by Mose Jakande's missiles, causing it to crumble beneath Shaw's feet. The only ones to have ever surpassed Dominic's strength are Luke Hobbs and Klaus but even those individuals have trouble fighting him, as Dominic was able to clash with Hobbs and cause him trouble breaking out of his grip while he was able to eventually do the same when Hobbs restrained him, although he only did it the second time when he was angered upon seeing Mia in danger, while he was able to knock off Klaus with a leaping blow and lift him long enough for Hobbs to knock him out. When interrogating a man, Dominic was able to keep a car engine suspended by a chain with one hand. In Abu Dhabi, Dominic also managed to lift the front of a Lykan HyperSport, which weighed 3,042 pounds (1,386 kilograms/1.52 tons). When he returned to Rio de Janeiro in 2021, he overturned a crashed car with one arm.
    • Peak Human Durability: In addition to his strength, Dominic is extremely sturdy and durable by human standards. He has emerged from numerous car crashes unscathed, and he can take hits from others with vast strength, such as Luke Hobbs and Klaus. Dominic once took a bullet to the back of his shoulder, and he only exhibited anger and annoyance, instead of pain. He also survived an extremely high jump off a cliff into water with Brian.
    • Peak Human Speed: Dominic is quite fast despite his large frame. He can keep up with Hobbs and Shaw in combat (who can punch faster than 13 m/s and 19 m/s respectively). He ran fast enough to save Gisele from being run over by Fenix. He also saved Elena from gunfire, and saved Mia from their house exploding.
    • Peak Human Stamina: Dominic can push himself for long periods of time. He has demonstrated the ability to keep fighting after receiving severe injuries.
"When Dominic drives, he's golden."

Train Jump Flashback - Furious 7

Toretto driving his Charger

  • Master Driver: Dominic is career racer and proficient driver, adept at driving various vehicles. Dominic is skilled in varying race and street sports, such as cornering and drifting, but prefers quarter mile races. Dominic is often reckless, using extreme measures to resolve equally extreme situations. In two different occasions, Dominic drove his Dodge Charger R/T off the cliff and smashed it in order to escape from Mose Jakande and his men, and twice he smashed directly in a head-on collision with Deckard Shaw.
  • Expert Engineer: Dominic is highly adept at fixing and tuning cars, rivaled only by Tej Parker in experience. He built the Dodge Charger R/T with his father. He built and tuned several vehicles that he owned, including two 1970 Plymouth Road Runners and a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle from an audition race for Braga's crew membership. He tweaked the engine of his cousin's car by using the opener ring of a soda can to attach a hose to a part of the engine to act as a turbo. Dominic is also very knowledgeable in physics, which he applies while driving and performing impressive stunts, and he is a skilled welder, as he managed to place a tracking device in his necklace.
"I guess I'll have to kick his ass then."
"I'd love to see that one. No, I would-- I would pay to see that one, actually."
Brian O'Conner and Mia Toretto[src]
Dominic Toretto VS Deckard Shaw

Dom street fighting with Deckard Shaw

  • Expert Combatant: Dominic is a very strong and skilled street fighter, as seen when he easily broke up a fight between Brian and Vince, and overpowered Johnny. Using proper technique in conjunction with his brute strength, he has been able to easily defeat Arturo Braga's men, henchmen in a pawn shop, as well as fight against highly-trained opponents, including Brian O'Conner (a former cop and federal officer), Luke Hobbs (a former DSS agent), Owen Shaw (a former British SAS special operations soldier), Deckard Shaw (a British Special Forces assassin), and Connor Rhodes (an enforcer). Aside from firearms, he can also wield various blunt weapons, such as wrenches and pipes. He is very impulsive and aggressive in combat, but he can also keep a level head and draw strength from seeing his loved ones in danger in order to gain the upper hand.
  • Expert Marksman: Unlike many of his opponents, Dominic rarely resorts to using firearms. When he does use firearms, his preference is often the shotgun. Even though Dominic prefers fists over firearms, he is adept at using them. He mainly prefers using shotguns, and once, he made a sawed-off shotgun. He used a shotgun to shoot out the tires of Braga's men during the chase in Mexico. While he was under attack from Reyes's men, he saved Hobbs's life and killed several attacking men using a shotgun from Hobbs's armored truck.
"You know, when I was reading your files, I was impressed with what you've accomplished with your team. But meeting them now, I've gotta say, Dom, you've truly got a gift."
Mr. Nobody[src]
  • Expert Tactician: Dominic is rather intelligent and uses his opponent’s presumption to regard him as ignorant to his advantage. He perchance of elaborate heists, such as the 2004 truck hijackings, and the 2009 fuel thefts, saw him and his given teams incorporate high end and luxury vehicles into his plans. When collaborating with Brian in 2009, he devised a plan to hijack 100 million dollars in Rio from Hernan Reyes, a Brazilian drug lord, and also aided Luke Hobbs to capture Owen Shaw. After escaping capture in the U.S for hijacking cars, he was able to escape from the county. He managed to remain in hiding for five years from the U.S government, travelling across Central and South America, such as Mexico, Dominican Republic, Panama, Ecuador and Brasil. After stealing 100 million dollars from Hernan Reyes, he hid in the Canary Island in Spain mainly because there was no extradition clause. After he placed a tracking device in his necklace and left it on her plane for the Shaw brothers to find and rescue his son, the notorious Cipher described Dominic as "resourceful."
  • Multilingualism: Dominic speaks English, Portuguese,[1] Italian,[1] and Spanish.[7]

  • Mossberg 590 Mariner: Dom's most frequent weapon of choice is a shotgun. He took Vince's shotgun before he confronted Brian O'Conner on his driveway, but disarmed himself of the weapon when Jesse arrived. He later brought the same shotgun to Mexico with Brian, first aiming it at "Ramon Campos" and used it again to shoot out enemy tires during the chase in Mexico.
  • Remington 870: Dom brought this shotgun when he and his crew raided one of Hernan Reyes' safehouses.
