Daken's Bio:

http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...ensProfile1.jpg
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...ensProfile2.jpg

Origin:

Okay now I'm going to make this short and sweet, most people know Daken's obvious background so I'm going to focus more on what you likely never knew.

He is the son of Wolverine and Itsu and was born in Japan. Wolverine never knew of Daken's birth and Itsu was killed by Winter Soldier as ordered by Romulus. Wolverine thinks both Itsu and the baby to be dead when in fact the baby had survived due to his healing factor and was left on the ground. So baby Daken was later found by a couple, Akihira and Natsumi. Both were trying hard for a child with no luck until one faithful day they found the baby that would later become known as Daken. He was found by Akihira and the couple raised him as their own. They called him Akihiro but he later picked up the name Daken from a bully who was picking on him calling him a mongrel. Daken got his revenge though murdering him late at night. His mother grows scared of Daken and his pheromones which she feels controlling her and Akihira. Daken learns of this and in an act of vengeance he kidnaps and abandons her new born baby in the wild like the Spartans did to unworthy babies. He is cast out and his mother charges at him with a bayonet but Daken's claws develop and reveal themselves for the first time and he stabs his mother. His father stricken with grief kills himself with the same bayonet. Then Romulus reveals himself before Daken, takes him in and so Daken's story begins.

Here's a small little further history lesson on Daken:
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...toryLesson1.jpg
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...toryLesson2.jpg

Here's a little bit of background on the Muramasa blade:
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...ramasaBlade.jpg

Here's Daken getting his Muramasa blades:

Further info on the Muramasa claws and their capabilities is discussed later on.

This Respect Thread will be further categorised into:
1. Agility & Acrobatics
2. Speed
3. Fighting Skills
4. Pheromones
5. Strength & Claw Capabilities
6. Durability & Healing Factor
7. Fights!

Take note that my scanner can only scan one page at a time so any double page spreads are in single form so..... some scans will not make the most sense without looking at the other half, just something to bare in mind when looking at the scans. This is my first respect thread and I hope you enjoy the rest of it.

1. Agility & Acrobatics
Shows skill in avoiding attacks form the Thing.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...ingsAttacks.jpg

Dodges attacks from Ares.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...DodgingAres.jpg
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...AresAttacks.jpg
Although speculative it is often hinted at that he uses his pheromones to manipulate Ares in those scans.

Further agility and acrobatics are displayed in the Fights! section of this respect thread.

2. Speed
He's too fast for Wolverine.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...rineRound11.jpg
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...rineRound12.jpg

He's too fast for Deadpool too.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...usDeadpool0.jpg
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...usDeadpool1.jpg

The rest of both of these fights are displayed in the Fights! section.

3. Fighting Ability
Daken silences Venom.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...lencesVenom.jpg

Daken just being awesome.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...nIsAwesome1.jpg
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...nIsAwesome2.jpg
*Note: That's supposed to be a double page spread.*

Further fighting ability feets can be seen in the Fights! section.

4. Pheromones
Daken's pheromones first manifest.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...rstManifest.jpg

Here he uses his "scent" to make some guy confess to something he didn't do. As well he causes a shield operative to become attracted to him and later sleeps with her.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...ingHisScent.jpg

Women can't seem to control themselves in his presence.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...JustLoveHim.jpg

His pheromones can cause people to love him and trust him so much that he can get them to throw themselves in front of a truck.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...onesAtWork1.jpg
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...onesAtWork2.jpg

Moonstone and him had a thing but it is speculated that his pheromones had a part in her attraction to him.

There are plenty more instances of him seducing women using pheromones but I felt it wasn't really necessary to post all of them.

A good example of pheromones at use in combat can be seen in his fight with Spiderman featured in the Fight! section of this respect thread.

5. Strength & Claw Capabilities
Here's Daken lifting weights with Ares.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...htsWithAres.jpg

The Muramasa claws can kill Wolverine.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...llWolverine.jpg

The Muramasa claws can pierce the armour of the Iron Patriot.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...bbingNorman.jpg
Take note that this is shown to Daken by the Fates of Asgard, Daken is behind Norman contemplating doing this and he is shown what happens if he does do it, he chooses not to do it in the end but this is what would happen if he decided to do it.

Daken's claws chip Emma's diamond form.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...DiamondForm.jpg
Now that scan was very speculative I'll be the first to admit that. It could be his claw gets chipped but..... the chipped pieces seem to be shining very much like Emma's diamond form so..... it does look like he chips her diamond form.

Well as you'll see later Daken loses his Muramasa claws, he goes to his good friends the Fantastic Four and Reed hooks him up with a stun claw capable of stunning anyone it touches..... well except the Thing but as Reed puts it Ben's an exception to a lot of things.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...oveForDaken.jpg

He uses the claw to stun Ms. Tyger with a touch.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...ken/KOClaws.jpg

Here X-23 realises the danger his claw poses and basically says it would be unfair to use that in a fight with her.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...en/NewClaws.jpg
Speculative I know but it seems that way, at least to me.

Further strength and claw capabilities can be seen in the Fights! scetion, in particular against Skaar.

6. Durability & Healing Factor
Thing smashing Daken around and Daken is still conscious afterward.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...lobberinHim.jpg

Hawkeye (Bullseye) blows him up.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...BlowsHimUp1.jpg
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...BlowsHimUp2.jpg
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...BlowsHimUp3.jpg

He's in a house and then the house is blown up, not only does he survive but remains conscious.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...useBlownUp1.jpg
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...useBlownUp2.jpg
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...useBlownUp3.jpg
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...useBlownUp4.jpg
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...useBlownUp5.jpg

Molecule Man comments that Daken's healing factor is able to fight off his power.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...orResistsMM.jpg

Further survival against explosions this time caused by the Fates of Asgard.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...ngExplosion.jpg

Here he is burnt to a crisp and is carried away in a plastic bag as just a bunch of ashes and he still survives.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...ntToACrisp1.jpg
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...ntToACrisp2.jpg

Here there is a major explosion and not only does he survive but he remains conscious and heals almost straight away.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...icklyHeals1.jpg
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...icklyHeals2.jpg
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...icklyHeals3.jpg

http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...icklyHeals5.jpg

Further durability and healing factor feats can be seen in the Fights! scetion.

Yes, very good job indeed thumb up

Wolverine feat in the speed section is not about the speed actually... it's his vanishing act that he does using pheromone manipulation. Sorry for the nitpicking, but I couldn't stop myself stick out tongue

I might add a few feats later if you don't mind.

Yeah I know about the pheromone manipulation vanishing act but in his fight with Deadpool he compares it to superspeed and he does seem to get the better of Wolverine before Wolverine can even get a straight sentence out, but yeah I forgot to mention that and also forgot to highlight the right part of his fight with Deadpool, where Deadpool says it. My bad. Really Daken doesn't have any great speed feats so it was more just to fill that section.

Yeah sure go on ahead, that would be great. Thanks man. happy

Anybody else feel free to put your scans of Daken up too. yes

I'll put up his fight with Cyber later, I can't believe I forgot it. embarrasment

I was thinking should I put up the fight from Exodus where he takes on Armor, X-23 and Pixie at the same time. Most of it happens off panel is the problem.

More Respect!
Well first in his first fight with Wolverine just before it Wolverine can't see or get the scent of Daken.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...dPheromones.jpg

Also in the Durability and Healing Factor section I mention he get's burnt to a crisp, well here's what was left of him when they were carrying him out and he still heals from it.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...lsFromAshes.jpg

Here's his fight with Cyber, Cyber one of the guys to teach Daken how to fight. Cyber says Daken is a more skilled fighter and is faster than him.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...ersusCyber1.jpg
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...ersusCyber2.jpg

http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...ersusCyber4.jpg
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums...ersusCyber5.jpg
Wolverine then interrupts the fight. A pretty bad@$$ showing for Daken I think.

Oh and here Cyber considers Daken to have a better chance against him than Wolverine.

Almost forgot this.
Daken has a reasonable degree of telepathic resistance thanks to Romulus.

You're welcome. Yes, Daken's fight against "Girl Power" team is pretty essential, even though we only see a few panels.

Wolverine: Origins #27

Daken's first fight with pre-adamantium Cyber. Action takes place in 1959, so Akihiro's still a rookie... but he kicks Cyber's ass nonetheless.

(please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image)

All-New Savage She-Hulk #4

Daken gets stabbed with Ares' war cleaver by Lyra. What's impressive here is not his recovery time, but the fact that he pulled it out of his chest and cut in half using bone claws only. We're talking about Olympian weaponry here.

(please log in to view the image)

Timestorm 2009-2099 #4

Daken cuts a Hulk from the Marvel 2099 future. Again, bone claws only.

(please log in to view the image)

Incredible Hercules #128

Daken fights Huntsman of Zeus, Pluto and his zombies.

(please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image)

Here he cuts one in half:

As impressive as Daken is, the entire bit with the Demon-Possessed Wolverine "killing" Daken was all just a ploy. So he didn't actually get incinerated into ashes and regenerate from them.

True.

Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Exodus

Daken fights Laura, Hisako and Pixie till Osborn gives the order to retreat. Last scan is from Dark X-Men: The Confession one-shot... it doesn't make much sense, but since not much was shown of their fight, it's always something.
