Daken gay marvel

Akihiro, otherwise known as Daken, Wolverine, Fang and most recently Hellverine, is a bisexual character created for Marvel Comics by Daniel Way and Steve Dillon for Wolverine: Origins Volume 1 #5, released on August 8th, The term "Daken" is a slur meaning "mongrel" in Japanese, referring. While there are many explicitly gay characters like Wiccan, Hulking, Northstar, and Karma, the one getting the spotlight here is Wolverine’s ambiguously gay son, Akihiro, who goes by the name Daken and was the Dark Wolverine during the past year’s mega storylines/events Dark Reign and Siege.

Daken was really fun as a master manipulator. He was super distinct from Logan and a great foil to him. He also sort of charmed the Fantastic Four in this run if I remember right. Normally I’m not a fan of forcing honeypots into comics because it usually feels forced and clunky. Akihiro / Daken makes a cameo appearance in Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. Akihiro / Dark Wolverine appears as boss character in Marvel: Avengers Alliance.

For those who dont know, Daken and Johney Storm had a close and intimate Friendship That was subject to clear gay tension. Johney and Daken kept their love unspoken, and it was never quite shown. Though when the writer was asked "did Johney and Daken have a relationship?" Her response was this tweet: I mean look how cute they were. Throughout his life, Wolverine has loved many women and developed many fatherly roles.

He was born in Japan in , when Logan settled down with a Japanese woman called Itsu. Daken was created in and introduced in the Wolverine: Origins comic. The baby was left on the doorstep of a wealthy couple called Akihira and Natsumi. The boy was named Akihiro by his adoptive father, but was called Daken by the other villagers.

This was a slur on his mixed heritage as Daken means mongrel. Natsumi becomes pregnant and Daken becomes jealous and eventually kills her son. Akihiro is unable to kill Daken and commits suicide. Daken meets Wolverine for the first time decades later and attempts to kill him several times because he believed he killed Itsu. In his earlier appearances, Daken was presented as fairly one-note and out for revenge.

Under the talented pen of Marjorie Liu, Daken became a master schemer who could control everyone around him. He was able to outsmart Norman Osborn, Reed Richards and others. Daken was characterised as wanting to move beyond his grudge against Wolverine and build an empire for himself. What sets Daken apart from his father is that he is more sophisticated and cultured.

He possesses a healing factor and bone claws, but has the unique power of pheromone secretion.

Marjorie Liu has confirmed his sexuality. This makes him an intriguing character because he can be considered an anti-villain. Daken has acted the hero if it means he can further his goals.
