Talk:Daken

Japanese-American?
This article has him listed in the category "Japanese-Americans." As far as I know, he has never possessed American citizenship. -- El Payaso Malo 99.25.247.253 (talk) 09:08, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Marvel vs Capcom
Daken is also one of the secret characters in Marvel vs Capcom 2 that can be unlocked. (He is shown with longer versions of Wolverines claws and they are not mettallic, but resemble bone claws) In this game he is wearing the same costume he wears in the Dark Avengers series...


 * Uhmm, no. Marvel vs Capcom 2 came out in 2000 (way before Daken was created). In that game there was two selectable Wolverine versions (one with metallic claws and one with bone claws). The upcoming re-release of MvC 2 doesn't add any new characters or change any costumes. The similarity to Daken is just a coincidence.24.190.34.219 (talk) 19:27, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Recent edits to Daken's page...
I added issue references and placed his bio in the chronological order of his ongoing story in "Wolverine: Origins"

My thanks to author(s) of Daken's page. I look foreward to seeing the image that will be selected for his article, as well as how this new character will develop in the future.74.244.63.126 00:58, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Removed some speculation
Daken probably does have some superhuman physical capabilities like superhuman senses, strength, stamina, agility, reaction time, etc. like Wolverine has. However, he hasn't shown any of them thus far in his appearances. Daken isn't a clone of Wolverine, so all of his powers might not be identical to those of Wolverine. He might not even have some of them. That's especially true since half of his genetic material comes from his mother Itsu. I admit that I'm not really sure entirely about leaving the superhuman speed reference in there. If I do remember right, Wolverine did say that he moved so quickly that he couldn't see him. Also, indicating that Daken couldn't take his father if Wolverine wasn't holding back by trying to reach him psychologically is POV. There's no evidence, at least not as yet, to suggest that Wolverine could take Daken, unleashed or otherwise.Odin&#39;s Beard 00:14, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

LGBT?
I notice that this page is listed under the LGBTProject, but there is no mention in the article of this character being Gay, Bisexual or Transgendered. Is this simply an oversite or should this be removed?--208.181.91.25 (talk) 18:58, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

He kissed another man in Wolverine: Origins #11, but later killed him. This could, I suppose, be confirmation of his bisexuality (or not, considering the circumstances). Tathunen (talk) 23:01, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The character may be confirmed as bisexual at a later time, but what happened in #11 is too vague. He did lure a guy back to the room, under the pretense of a sexual encounter, but nothing sexual happened. He strangled the guy with his own necktie I believe. It's hard to say he's bisexual based on that. One could just as easily speculate that he killed the guy because of his sexual preference really. Odin&#39;s Beard (talk) 23:46, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Recently in Dark Wolverine # 75 it also implied he fooled around with a man - though he did so in order to obtain top secret info. Later he also makes a pass at Venom - though this could also be a seen as a joke. Basically, Daken has been shown in homosexual situations however it's never shown if this is due to orientation or simply not being above using those situations to his advantage which seems equally as likely.


 * Anyhow, I do believe it is worth a mention in the article, maybe with it's own section, now that it has a few instances in the comics, as it is interesting to some readers.24.190.34.219 (talk) 23:38, 24 June 2009 (UTC)


 * On two occasions the "Sexual orientation" section has been blanked by new users, which no explanation given. I can only assume it's vandalism, so the section has been restored. If there is consensus to remove the section it should be discussed here first. Until then, I advise people to keep an eye out for continued vandalism.


 * I think that the section should stay. It is of interest to some readers and is properly cited from several different comics with different writers. I tried to phrase the section in an unbiased way without an agenda, if someone would like to edit it more, feel free. 24.190.34.219 (talk) 06:34, 17 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Just to add, the writers commented on Daken's sexuality at comic-con. I added the info and source to the article.


 * Liu said that Daken will "do anyone and anything" to achieve his goals and he's "past that kind of identification. He's beyond it." Way added that Daken's sexuality will be addressed later on, but it's more about his personality. "He's no more homosexual than he is heterosexual. It's about control."

telepathic trap
"This "trap" can only be successfully navigated by a supremely powerful telepath on the order of Professor Charles Xavier"

This statement is inaacurate, he doesn't navigate the trap. He essentially gets lucky, Xavier states himself that had his psyche not been fragmented (by Sinister trying to take over his body previously) he would have fell victim to the trap. PhoenixPrince (talk) 06:00, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

The telepathic trap should also not be confused with his memories being erased. It is stated in several storylines that his psyche was never conditioned or erased as his father's was, but merely brainwashed since childhood into following the will of Romulus without question. The purpose of the trap is to prevent psychics from entering Daken's mind without Romulus' permission.FA Shotgun (talk) 01:41, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

we need a pic of him in costume.
as he is wolverine of osborns team, we need a pic of him in the wolverine costume, can anyone get it please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.217.82.28 (talk) 12:25, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Pheromone ?
Where does the "pheromone" perception-altering thing in the powers & abilities section come from ? I haven't read it anywhere. Concerning his ability to appear outside of someone's field of vision, he clearly states while facing Deadpool in Wolverine : Origins #25 that it isn't thanks to any superhuman power, but only a result of his training by Romulus. Please back these assertions with some sources, or I'll have to remove them. 213.215.2.242 (talk) 14:40, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

No sources were brought, so I removed it. Please do not revert my edit without adding some references. 213.215.2.242 (talk) 10:47, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * The second American Son Spiderman issue, he uses his pheromone based powers to confuse Spidey's spider-sense but also spider-mans depth perception and appear farther away. Don't know the issue number, sorry. Also, the powers and ability section had absolutely no mention of his pheremone based powers so I added a sentence to the end. If someone could expand this.24.190.34.219 (talk) 02:43, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Pronouncing Daken
Can anyone help me out? Do you pronounce the "Da" in Daken as "the" or "day"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.201.253.78 (talk) 05:50, 9 June 2010 (UTC)


 * The pronunciation has still not been added? 2601:0:7280:28D:D1C2:FF57:B8AA:E363 (talk) 20:46, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 * It's DAH-ken, not DAY-ken (note that "the" has multiple pronunciations). I'll try to find a source, but I don't I know how to enter it phonetically anyway. 2601:0:7280:28D:D1C2:FF57:B8AA:E363 (talk) 20:57, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 * If you don't have a source, I'm curious what makes you think your pronunciation is correct? Is the name Japanese in origin? Have you heard the name spoken by the character's creators? Krychek (talk) 15:09, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Never mind -- I found and added a source. Krychek (talk) 18:15, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Ultimate Daken
Hey, shouldn't it be mentioned that Jimmy Hudson from Ultimate Comics: X is the Ultimate Version of Daken??? Jimmy is Wolverine's only known and recognized son and he possesses some of Daken abilities, including his own "metal-like" claws without the need to go through the adamantium insertion process... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.146.58.91 (talk) 07:57, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Podcast
The mention of the podcast under "Other Media" doesn't seem particularly relevant, or even notable. I was going to just delete it but thought I'd see if more experienced editors wanted to make a case to keep it. Zoombrute (talk) 04:31, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
