It's not the MAN who has been keeping us down, it's the MODS.

I imagine a lot of it has to do with two major factors. The first, he is a Wolverine clone, so its popular to hate on him. Secondly, he looks like a d-bag. Mohawk and tribal tattoos? Come on buddy.

He is an extremely interesting character though, and I'm inclined to believe that anyone who doesn't like him as a character, simply hasn't been reading Dark Wolverine. I hate Daniele Way with the fiery passion of a thousand exploiting suns, but I love Daken's Machiavellian ways. He is a schemer and a manipulator and he does it oh so very well. At the very least he is certainly a much deeper and more complex character than "*daddy issues* I'm sad *teen angst* I think I'll cut myself" X-23.

In a universe where theres Doom, Thanos, Kang,Red Skull, Loki, a machiavellian wolverine clone is a meh to a lot of fans. Especially when his grand schemes aren't really as interesting as his fellow manipulators considering two of them have huge things in the works currently. Add to that loeb is trying to do the exact same thing with Red Hulk, its just getting real redundant and feels real cheap. And I agree, looking like a d-bag doesn't help either.

is being a cheap carbon copy of an already existing character who already happens to have better versions and variations with decades of history not enough for you?

wild child
albert
sabretooth
deadpool
maverick
lady deathstrike

now if that isnt bad enough to shoe horn daken into logan's already established comic history wasnt bad enough and insulting to long time readers and especially the past writers..

only good clones are canon fodder knock offs that dont last long and are killed off inside mini's for various reasons like being imperfect.

the only good logan clone with an iota of saving grace is X-23..

everything else is garbage even the native chick was gracefully killed off as soon as she was shown that is the way it should have bn for daken.

maverick's hardly a wolverine rip-off. if anything his character got more wolverine-ized when they made him into agent zero.

prett much any member of the weapon X program was made a little wolvernish.. like i said variations of the character not exact copies..

maverick was a stealth fighter good enough to get close to wolverine without logan knowing he was near... mavericks HF was also shown to be good enough to survive evisceration even with the legacy virus in his system.. making reference to it still functioning and not being as good as it once was.. also maverick is very old to but still looked young..

to me he was what wolverine would have bn like if he stayed with the black ops program and guns and stuff...

I like the character

I think the character design is quite awful. Beyond that I don't really care one way or the other about him...
