Like/Dislike Daken

[Alphaxman]

How many people actually like Daken after reading Wolverine #75? I was indifferent to him because I don’t read Wolverine: Origin and his appearance in X-Men Legacy wasn’t anything great. Plus Bendis barely does anything with him in Dark Avengers.

I won’t say that I think he deserves a monthly series but if he is written like he was in this issue I will gladly pick up anything he is in.

:biggrin:

That issue made me love Daken.

[Quinnhop]

Majorie Liu can make me like any character.

[Alphaxman]

:biggrin:

That issue made me love Daken.

He was kinda great wasn't he. A little scary and a lotta sexy. :wink:

[RoguishGurl]

I never read anything about Daken before Dark Wolverine #75. Now I absolutely love him.

[darknessatnoon]

I didn't like him till I found out he was gay.

same. 101010

[Personamanx]

Have yet to read Dark Wolverine #75. But I do for the most part like Daken.

[Monty_Cristo]

i hated him when he was just a character in Wolverine Origins (i thought he was supposed to be the new Sabretooth). then i started to like him when i found out he was going to become a Dark Avenger. now he's just really grown on me. he's refreshingly different.

[px2418]

I didn't like him till I found out he was gay.

i think he is bi, he does sleep with a woman in dark wolvie but he also kinda hits on venom

[Ecks-man]

He has potential to be a really good character, though I'm liking what's been done with him lately.

[Monty_Cristo]

maybe i'm hallucinating but Daken always seems stockier and hairier when he's wearing the Wolverine costume. that bugs me. i was hoping he'd look like a taller sleeker version of his dad. but just becomes a clone when in costume.

i've yet to see him sport facial hair when not in costume. it's weird.

[NewMutant]

Well Wolverine Origins sucks... so I haven't read him in that since he wasn't in the first arc. I plan on getting Original Sin when it comes out in TPB. And will get Dark Avenger and Dark X-Men... not because of him though. So I'll get some exposure soon enough. I don't like the idea of Wolverine having a kid mostly because it never stays. Doesn't he have a daughter already and we haven't even heard from her in how long? Plus... we get enough Wolverine and now we have X-23. Do we really need another Wolverine rip off? Dark Wolverine doesn't sound interesting and has been getting mixed reviews. But if the story is gets continous reviews that are postive I'll pick it up.

[ollie_queen]

ML's collaboration with Way transformed Daken from a generic 'bad-ass' to a character that feels genuinely complex and unpredictable. I've read all of his appearances before, but #75 made me completely fall for him.

him having a daughter didn't work because Logan's a deadbeat dad. Daken works because he's the product of a deadbeat dad. Logan has every reason for not checking up on Daken; unlike that girl.

[SevereTireDamage]

I hated this character, but after #75 he isn't too bad.

[orkoni1]

I like him b4 but love him now even more. It goes back to the argument that almost all if no all characters can be great but it all depends on the writer.
He's got that sex appeal like Bundy, you know he's dangerous but he's also hot (in bundy's case "was hot" lol). Guess that's why ppl in jail get love letters from women liking the excitement of danger.

[Perfection/Emma 2]

Maybe if he changes his sinister ways, then maybe I'll be indifferent to him at best, but at the moment, he disguses me:evilangry:

[orkoni1]

I wonder If he'll seduce Emma. OMG what would Scott say! and Wolvie!

And you! :evilsmile:

LOL just teasing.

[spiderwire]

Wolverine is about 115-120 years old fought in several wars on both sides, walked the earth more times than most people walked the grocery store. Him having just one known child is amazing among itself. How many "pups" have Romulus killed off? Daken can be a breath of fresh air or the same old smoke. I like Logan having not raising his son weighing on his conscious. Besides adult mutant children seems to be the trend these days. Besides Daredevil everybody old school is rocking the cradle. Including Steve Rogers and the Scarlet Witch who happens to be the proud parents of Hope Summers. Told ya first!

[Waterlily]

I have had an unhealthy obsession with him since he stabbed Emma in her vision.

Deodato Jr seems to do the best with not making him look like his dad while he's in costume. I also have noticed the five o'clock shadow that sprouts whenever he wears the mask.

Poor Amiko, Wolverine really screwed up when it came to her. Didn't she become a sorceress or something crazy like that?

[steve2275]

he's a suave mnipulative bastard

[Fatguy]

I chose "After #75", but I've been warming to him from Dark Avengers for a while. Dark Wolverine pushed him over the top.

[wolvie616]

he is worse than buckethead thing

[Maestro]

I like Daken being written by Liu. if he is being written by Way then he goes back to being lame.

[LungerTony]

I liked Daken in the Original Sin crossover between Origins and Legacy awhile back.
The intense positive feedback about Dark Wolverine certainly has me intereste din getting it in trade format in the future.

[Zomling]

How many people actually like Daken after reading Wolverine #75? I was indifferent to him because I don’t read Wolverine: Origin and his appearance in X-Men Legacy wasn’t anything great. Plus Bendis barely does anything with him in Dark Avengers.

I won’t say that I think he deserves a monthly series but if he is written like he was in this issue I will gladly pick up anything he is in.

I liked him since his first appearance and since Dark Wolverine 75 like him even more as a character.

I agree that he is barely used in DA and this is disappointing, but it gives Liu/Way more scope for stories in DW.

[timbox]

I didn't like him until Miss Sinister slammed his crotch against a wall.

[ThisMortalSoil]

The first comic I read featuring Daken was the "Origins" issue where he fights Deadpool. I picked up a few more issues after that and thought he was pretty cool. But Dark Wolverine #75 made me LOVE him, he's a new favorite

[attackofthehayley]

i didn't know wolverine had a girl kid :o

I think daken might be bi but that hitting on venom was just to stir him up..
I hated daken before, now, i'm interested.

[Dave13]

I didn't like him until Miss Sinister slammed his crotch against a wall.

Wait i thought they had sex? or was that a part of it, thats kinky.

I can't respect anyone with a Mohawk these days it's only one step above the mullet

[timbox]

He didn't even have to ask her for it; she did it all on her own.

[Imraith Nimphais]

He was kinda great wasn't he. A little scary and a lotta sexy. :wink:

Was he not just?...:biggrin:
Not unlike his father, yet in a completely different way...I was never a great fan of Logan...but I am very much a fan of Daken (after just one issue)...truth to tell, I would not be adverse to seeing him on an x-team after all that DR/DXM nonsense comes to a close.:smile:

[Volk1]

I like the fact that Daken shops at H&M. It humanizes him!

I like the last two ensembles the best.

[KrullWall]

I like him in the Dark Reign context, but I think once you that is gone he will seem lame and boring like the way he was in Origins.

[Dagger]

I disagree. I find him to be much more interesting than old pops, and he has like 18 minis and ongoings right now. I think he's a very interesting anti-hero with daddy issues which will help with bringing some drama into his stories. I also think that if he does try to become more heroic, that it'll be a fun road to go down as he's trying to come to terms with his more aggressive, not so subtle side. Plus, he'd be the first openly bi character with their own ongoing...I think.

[The Big G]

At first i thought he was a nub, we already had Laura which is pretty much Logan's daughter. But then he grew on me and makes me LOL.

Cant wait for the Laura Daken fight though.

[worstblogever]

Yeah, his design was/is terrible, but his personality is so volatile, it's starting to grow on me.

[Supercoolshay]

Including Steve Rogers and the Scarlet Witch who happens to be the proud parents of Hope Summers. Told ya first!

Wait...what?

On a completely random note:

Daken
Naked

Coincidence... I think not.

[SayOcean]

Logan has every reason for not checking up on Daken; unlike that girl.why shouldnt wolvy ahd checked up on Daken if he knew he existed? and are you talking about Amiko? thats his foster daughter and shes crazy as hell

but whats not to like about a bi sexual, euro trash, sociopathic killer?

[Daken's Girl]

I liked him before, now I LOVE him. :biggrin:

http://getfreshkid.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/denim1.jpgThis supports my idea that my friend who shops at H&M is Bi

[AcesX1X]

yes! i've loved daken since the moment i laid my eyes on him! he blows wolverine completely out of the water. i wouldn't be surprised if no one even knew who wolverine was in about five years. daken is that cool.

i am glad the rest of you are finally coming to your senses.

[Mia]

but whats not to like about a bi sexual, euro trash, sociopathic killer?

Right.

I don't like the character, I think he's a revolting pig. But then again I do realise that's who he's supposed to be. I wasn't sure how I felt about him being bi-sexual. But then it dawned on me that Daken is proably the kind of guy who feels powerful plowing guys. Sort of like that Chris Meloni character on Oz.

[Supercoolshay]

This supports my idea that my friend who shops at H&M is Bi

I'd like to hear this theory.

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

I'm not sure I get the parameters of this poll.

Do we pretend he's not a comic book rapist?

[Ratstar]

There was... Mystique, hers lasted for two years.
And... Nightwing, his was what, at least 10 years?

At first i thought he was a nub, we already had Laura which is pretty much Logan's daughter. But then he grew on me and makes me LOL.

Cant wait for the Laura Daken fight though.
Me too, should be awesome. Even if it is a little one sided :(

Yeah, his design was/is terrible, but his personality is so volatile, it's starting to grow on me.

Indeed. His unusual personality is interesting, and at least gives him more depth and versatility compared to many other recent creations.
The art has to be important too... Even with those deformed claws, he looks really cute with some artists, but kinda gross with others.

[Supercoolshay]

That H.A.M.M.E.R Chic would have slept with him anyway. He didn't need to pheromone control her.

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

I admittedly don't have a post-graduate degree in Law, but I'm pretty sure no judge would accept the 'she would've done it even without the roofie' and 'threatening to kill her if he/she ratted me out is part of the kink'. arguments.

i didn't know wolverine had a girl kid :o

I have the same feelings. Couldn't give a crap about him before, but liked him in this issue.
But still waiting to read the next issue to have a definitive opinion. What I fear is that the writer turns him into a Marie Sue, dismissing the other characters (inculding the FF) to make him look good.

[littleredhat]

I love to hate him. He's an awsome villian.

[Mia]

I love to hate him. He's an awsome villian.


That's basically it. I hate the character. But love him as a villain. I hope that Marvel doesn't reform him. They need more immoral villains.

[spiderwire]

Wonder when Daken is going to get a visit from his old friend Wildchild. They seem like natural sparring partners and the writers can do something original. We've seen Wolverine and Sabretooth battle in almost every situatiuon mix it up with these two.

[B. Kuwanger]

I hate Daken, he represents pretty much all of the reasons that I buy less comics these days. I can only hope that he falls in love with Skaar and they fly off into space together never to be seen or heard from again.

[Keldor]

Daken sucks :biggrin:

[Daken's Girl]

Daken sucks :biggrin:


...not! :tongue:

[Talisman]

After this whole Dark Wolverine stuff is done, he should totally relocate to Madripoor and set up shop. It'd be awesome seeing him on his old man's turf and taking over.

[Filthy Mutie]

Dark Wolverine definitely made him likable to me, although Original Sin was a marked improvement. Until then I felt he was a contrived idea in a book that was poisonous to my eyes.

[Monty_Cristo]

shinobi shaw would like daken. i propose a team-up.

When I first saw Daken's outfit in this issue, I immediately went to my closet and put together a pretty close approximation of it, using, pieces from, yes, H&M. Another reason why I voted "liked Daken after #75". Hopefully he sticks around for a while because I could sure use some more fashion ideas.

and he's like a sixty year old. that suddenly makes me want to get a look at his driver's license.

him having a daughter didn't work because Logan's a deadbeat dad. Daken works because he's the product of a deadbeat dad. Logan has every reason for not checking up on Daken; unlike that girl.

I'm willing to question that, bub....

http://www.comicvine.com/wild-thing/29-22800/

:evilangry:

[CMBMOOL]

I don't know I truly do not like Daken at all, and I hope that both X-23 and Skaar just destorys the little prickle of Wolverine's life.

Sooner or later he's going to cross the line where even Logan can't protect him anymore.
