Description
Daken (; birth name: Akihiro ) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Daken was created by writer Daniel Way and artist Steve Dillon and first appeared in Wolverine: Origins
5 (October 2006).
Daken is the mutant son of Wolverine and his deceased wife Itsu, possessing superhuman abilities similar to his father (e.g., healing factor, retractable claws) as well as pheromone manipulating powers. Blaming his father for his supposed abandonment, his mother's death and traumatic childhood, Daken sought revenge against Wolverine. Daken was a member of the Dark Avengers under his father's moniker Wolverine , the Brotherhood of Mutants and at one point was a Horseman of Death. After years as a supervillain and sometime antihero, Daken later reforms himself as a superhero after relocating to Krakoa, reconciling with his father and becoming a member of X-Factor and the Marauders, eventually earning the title of Fang for his heroism.
Daken was ranked sixth in Comics Alliance's "50 Sexiest Male Characters in Comics" list and is often recognized for his sex appeal.
