Though to Moon Knight’s benefit, his other personalities are Spider-Man, Captain America, and Wolverine - not a bad batch of crazy imaginary alternative personalities. And it’s Moon Knight, the schizophrenic, all-white Batman. Luckily, Los Angeles can rest easy, because watching over their large, complicated city lies the watchful eyes of the local superheroes. And the twist he mentions? Well, I’m not going to tell you, but his quest to become leader of the LA underworld certainly heads in the right direction. His healing factor takes a few more issues before it disappears completely. His failing healing factor pretty much drives the next year of stories, but that’s for another time. So, he does what Wolverine would do in this situation: guns blazing towards a painful death. Sure, Daken’ll massacre police officers, but not in his current condition and definitely not with Taskmaster nearby. Y’know, if not for that massive amount of Heat he ingested. Daken shouldn’t have much difficulty taking him down. Taskmaster can mimic any abilities he sees (like Captain America’s shield throwing, Hawkeye’s archery, Black Knight’s swordplay, etc.), but besides that, the guy’s a normal human. To be fair, Taskmaster isn’t super strong or durable or anything. The dude’s bad news, though delightfully charming. For more information on him, you can see my previous Taskmaster article. Taskmaster trains the supervillains/does mercenary work using his photographic reflexes. Unfortunately, in the current moment, he’ll have to deal with him: But y’know how supervillains are - living for the moment and all that. For a sixty year old man (born right after WWII), you figured Daken would know better than to initiate highly dangerous plans while loopy on drugs. The newest, coolest recreational drug on the market. But unfortunately, he stumbled upon a little problem during his time in Hollywood. Daken and six skilled henchmen will ambush a truck (and its small army protecting it) to steal the $26 million inside. First order of business? Show his usefulness, of course. The city certainly lacks the hundreds of superheroes running, flying, and web-slinging around New York City anyway. Finally, create a humanizing, ambitious personality mixed in with deep-rooted inadequacies and insecurities leftover from his father’s popularity and heroism.īut today, in Daken: Dark Wolverine #11-14, written by Rob Williams and drawn by Matteo Buffagni, Michele Bertilorenzi, & Riley Rossmo, we’re going to watch him claw stuff.Ĭurrently, Daken (pronounced Dah-kehn) lives in Los Angeles, where he figures the city could use a new crime boss. Give him a cool mohawk, neat tattoos, and a brilliantly scheming mind. Next, add some diversity, like Daken being half-Japanese and bisexual. First, make him Wolverine’s legitimate son - add in anger from his father’s abandonment and a genetic psychopathy. But his success hardly surprises me, because the guy’s spun from a winning creation formula. He took over the Wolverine title for a year and then received his own solo series for two years - very impressive for a new character to star that long in a comic before being canceled.
