LGBT Spotlight on… Wolverine’s son Daken
Whenever a new LGBT character is outed in a mainstream comics, I try to feature them here. 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…
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!
