I didn't like her too much in Uncanny X-men though, the whole talk with Psylocke and Savage Land crap. God I hate the Savage Land and those crappy mutants there. I started liking her more and more in New X.men though, hopefully she'll have some good showings in X-force. From what Yost and Kyle says, she's probably going to return to her silent days of being nothing more than a weapon though.
I suppose her and Julian was too much to hope for.
Same here, Claremont kind of ruined her in UXM. There's a lot of badly executed touchy feely moments in his writing.

Daken could work, he just needs less cliched angst and 'I was brain-washed so I'm gonna kill my dad' moments.
Here's a unique idea. How about Daken becomes a CLEAN-CUT hero. None of his dads bullshit 'shades of gray, I'm a good-gug but i'm all tormented and stab people' bullshit. Just Captain amERICA ESQUE cLEAN-CUT.
Edit :Whoop, KeyBOArd f*CKing uP.

That could actually be somewhat interesting....
Turning Daken into a complete boy scout...

Us. Comic book fans. Neither character really deserves to exist and they're both tired cliches.
Anyways, Daken wins pretty handily.
how does his son have the same powers as he does? why must they make this stuff? AHHHHHH!

What do you mean how does his son have the same powers as he does?
You mean like how the Summers kids have the same powers as Jean?

Wolverine took it easy on both of 'em. Neither of em are fit to even lick his shoes

Both of them punked Wolverine in their fights. X-23's fight was a bit more ownage-worthy then Daken's. X-23 seems to display a greater level of training or fight programming from the Weapon X program.
But I am impressed with Daken. He seems more adept at stealth and assassination. He certainly don't need an adamantium skeleton to beat a person who has an adamantium skeleton. Probably makes him that much faster.
Split 5/10 til i see more from both.

X-23 apparently has faster hf/greater damage soak (either that or Daken got stabbed in some vital spot while Laura did not). Daken was impressed with her skill and said he's not sure how that makes him feel.
On panel Daken stalemated her two times, once when she had help from Pixie and Armor.

I've always been more impressed by Laura's combat finess and viciousness. Daken's good, but I think the pheromones are what makes him noteworthy, not necessarily skill.

x-23 beats current daken in a close battle; she's a better fighter than he is & has a stronger hf. daken does not have an adamantium skeleton btw.

Daken got bitched by Laura in that collision crossover he got so winded fighting all those monsters that Laura had to lock him in a room and kill the rest.
So she definitely has stamina over him as well.

Yes, but we need to remember that Daken w/o pheromones stalemated her two times despite her adamantium claws and help from 2 other X-Men in one instance.
He also has the stun claw (that he most likely won't use though )

I'd agree with you there

Think it was suggested by someone at the start of the thread that he did.
She doesn't need one though!

Didn't x-23 KO daken with one claw strike during the Utopia crossover?
anyway, whatever stalemate he managed to claw out before....it's clear that x-23 is the better fighter as of now.

Ah, I see.
She has trouble swimming with her claws coated in metal, I guess she'd drown with the adamantium-laced skeleton
Then Liu has her effortlessly stopping vampire Jubilee's punch (she was shown to be super strong even in the X-23 arc)

No. She couldn't do it with two claw strikes (another part of the fight was shown in Confession) and one stab. That was a stalemate between Daken / Laura, Pixie and Hisako.
He stalemated her in Collision, dude. Without pheromones. The same cross in which he admired her skill.

It looked to me like he got a bigger wound.
