Wolverine's Son Just Suffered His Most Brutal Defeat Yet
The once villainous son of Wolverine, Akihiro, also known as Daken, is set to appear on a new X-Men team, the relaunched Marauders led by Kate Pryde, during the mutants upcoming Destiny of X era. In a preview for the upcoming one-shot, Marauders Annual #1 Daken is mercilessly defeated by the demonic Brimstone Love from the Marvel 2099 future (also known as alternate reality Earth-928).
The revamped Marauders team led by Pryde first debuted in 2019 as one of several new Dawn of X titles featuring the mutants in their new Krakoan home, dealing with threats internal, domestic, and galactic. Marauders featured a group of X-Men heroes and former villains working to rescue mutants being held in anti-mutant nations and keep the Hellfire Trading Company's assets safe. Now, Pryde is reforming the swashbuckling team with a new crew of mutants (and a new creative team, with Steve Orlando replacing Gerry Duggan), and their first major mission is to save Daken from the clutches of Brimstone Love and the disturbing Theater of Pain.
