Wolverine’s son Daken goes both ways!!!

There was a curious exchange between Dark X-Man/Dark Avenger Daken (the son of Wolverine) and the Dark Avenger Hawkeye (Bullseye) in this weeks Dark Avengers #7 that got me wondering about Daken’s sexuality…

a curious exchange from Dark Avengers #7

I don’t think writers do things like this by mistake. Usage of commonly known idiom’s such as “playing for both teams” are pretty obvious. Thoughts? What will Wolvie think of it? I’m guessing Daken’s a bisexual top, he seems bossy.

Thanks to Jennifer of FantasticFangirls who pointed out that this is far from the first hint of this tattooed bad boy’s AC/DC inclinations. Apparently Daken admitted to kissing (and killing) a man in Wolverine Origins #11, and has been using his pheromone power to sexually manipulate women and men in Dark Wolverine. Damn – ANOTHER title I’ll have to start picking up!

Also thanks to reader and regular commenter Psiwire who sent me these panels that reveal how Daken sexually manipulated a male H.A.M.M.E.R. employee with his pheromone power and him hitting on fellow Dark Avenger Mac Gargan – the Dark Avengers answer to “Spider-Man” (really Venom – formerly The Scorpion).

I want to see him seduce his alien twink teammate Noh-Varr (Marvel Boy)! Wouldn’t they make a hot couple? Like mixing Falcon and Raging Stallion porn.

With all this evidence, it seems this is not just a tease. I love that all these new (and old) characters are coming out these days!

Anyone else got a scan that adds fuel to the bisexual fire? Send it in for a shout out! For that matter – send me anything you spot that “outs” ANY comic book character!

Mighty Avengers #27: The Wrath of WHO?

I’m not a big fan of retconned powerful but somehow forgotten characters (see Sentry, Triumph, Astra and Primus The one exception who I think makes the Marvel U a better place is Jessica Jones, formerly Jewel). So they already have a tough audience in me for this issue… If the Unspoken is so damned powerful, than how is it that he’s been exiled on Earth since the day Black Bolt took the throne but this is the first anyone has heard of him? Sure the Inhumans made a pact to never speak of him, but what about everyone who met him since?

Doom, Thor, Black Bolt, Black Panther, Ka-Zar, Namor…There are many monarchs in the Marvel Universe, but only one so powerful and so reviled that he had to be written out of history. He is THE UNSPOKEN. And his return will have dire consequences on both our world and worlds beyond.

The start of a new storyline that will bring dishonor for one Mighty Avenger, redemption for another, a family reunion, and ties to both DARK REIGN and WAR OF KINGS.

I was amused with Captain America’s comment after the Unspoken annihilated The People’s Defense Force… “Oh my god… …He Alpha-Flighted ‘em.”
