Daken: Difference between revisions

Daken is the son of [[Wolverine]] and his deceased wife Itsu. Blessed with his dad's [[Wolverine Claws]] (although with a twist or two there) and [[Healing Factor]], as well as the added ability to give off pheromones, Daken is a younger, darker and edgier version of his dad. He loves Xanatos Gambits, and seducing people just to prove he can, is apparently [[Anything That Moves|Omnisexual]] (or at least bi-sexual) and smart enough to dupe [[Norman Osborn]] and [[Reed Richards Is Useless|Reed Richards]]- but still gets his ass handed to him by his father. Speaking of dad, Daken has quite a few [[Disappeared Dad|daddy issues]].

 

Daken first appeared in ''"Wolverine Origins''" #10 (March, 2007), created by Daniel Way and Steve Dillon. He went on to serve as a member of the [[Dark Avengers]]. He gained his own title ''"Daken: Dark Wolverine''" in 2010, which was ongoing [[Too Good to Last|until 2011]].

 

 

* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: Just like his Dad.

** [[Asexual]]: [[Word of God]] states Daken doesn't actually care for sex, he just uses it as a way to manipulate people.

* [[Appropriated Appellation]]: Daken means mongrel [[Bilingual Bonus|in Japanese]] and was the name he was taunted with as a child.

* [[Body Horror]]: Like his dad, Daken's healing factor means that he tends to get put through the meat grinder on a regular basis.

* [[The Berserker]]: Subverted, people expect this of Daken, given who his dad is, and Daken loves to take advantage of it. In one scene, Daken allows [[Norman Osborn]] to think that he has used Daken's temper and hatred for Wolverine to bait him, after which Daken smiles and points out the mistakes in Osborn's cultured facade.

** "But more importantly, you're MY Wolverine. YOU are Wolverine. Do you know what a hero is?"

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Let's see.. he survived his mother's murder (which happened before ''he was born!''), watched his adoptive father commit suicide, and was raised by a hated enemy of his father's. Yup.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Although not the obvious muscle head his dad is, Daken can pull this off pretty well too.

* [[Good Thing You Can Heal]]: He's done his fair share of standing around and letting horrible injuries happen to him for no reason other than this trope.

* [[Healing Factor]]: His dad is Wolverine. [[Captain Obvious|Duh.]]

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Oh God, do you want a list of the people he's messed with? He once drove a lover he was messing with to ''suicide'' to get rid of any lose ends.
