* AnythingThatMoves: Sort of (see below). Daken plays with gender stereotypes like they were jazz songs with no rules. As in the scene where he seduces a female anorexic supermodel by finger feeding her a strawberry she had been afraid to eat, and then flirts with the nebbishy male fashion designer on the same page without stopping for breath. He follows this up by flirting with the {{Shapeshifter}} Mystique before the end of the comic.

--> ''"Logan... my Love... Even if you live forever, you will never learn how to lie.'"''
\\\
Mariko is one of Wolverine's most prominent lovers, a Japanese heiress with connections to both Japanese nobility and the {{Yakuza}}. She was born to the prominent Yashida Clan. She is a half-sister to the original Silver Samurai/Keniuchio Harada and a cousin to Sunfire/Shiro Yoshida and Sunpyre/Leyu Yoshida. She and Wolverine dated from 1979 to 1982. Then the events of ''Wolverine'' #1-4 (September-December, 1982) took place. Her father and Clan leader Shingen Harada returned after a lengthy absence. He forced to terminate her relationship with Wolvie and to marry his chosen heir Noburu-Hideki. Wolverine went to Japan to investigate what happened and Shingen targeted him for termination. Shingen ended up killed by Wolverine, and Noburu killed by Yukio.

The events made Mariko the new Clan leader and conveniently a widow. She became engaged to Wolverine and they scheduled their marriage. Events were complicated by the return of her half brother the Silver Samurai who wanted to become Clan leader in her place. He and his lover Viper, targeted Mariko for assassination in ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen'' #172-173 (August-October, 1983). Most of the X-Men almost died in the events of these issues. Wolverine did manage to save the day. But the marriage was cancelled. While everyone was busy with the duo of assassins, Mastermind got to Mariko and managed to corrupt her mind. Under his influence, Mariko declared Wolvie unworthy for her hand and dismissed him. Several issues later she regained her senses, but now felt unworthy of him.

Mariko and Wolverine continued seeing each other over the years. She even served as a surrogate mother for his adoptive daughter Amiko (Kobayashi). Then came the events of ''Wolverine'' vol. 2 #55-57 (June-July, 1992). She got into a gang war with Matsu'o Tsurayaba. She ended up poisoned and dying in pain. She asked Wolvie to MercyKill her to end the pain. He did so, a memory that has continued to haunt him over the years. He swore bloody revenge on Matsu'o. Once a year, Wolvie visits his old foe and mutilates him. Leading to Matsu'o looking barely human.

Mariko remained dead for 25 years and turned up often in flashbacks, dreams, and hallucinations with her soul turned up trapped in a version of {{Hell}}. She was eventually resurrected by the Hand to serve as an enforcer, the Scarlet Samurai, but the aid of Old Man Logan set her free and she departed to live her own life.

* AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: The Earth-616 Mariko is a common human. The Earth-2109 is Sunfire, a mutant, member of the ComicBook/XMen, and a prominent member of the ComicBook/{{Exiles}}.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: In ''Old Man Logan'' #32, it is revealed that she has been resurrected by the Hand and has become the Scarlet Samurai]].
* BeastAndBeauty: According to Creator/ChrisClaremont he pictured Wolverine and Mariko fitting this trope. Him being an unattractive man with violent, animalistic urges. She being a beautiful, calm woman which [[MoralityPet brings out the best in him]].
* DistaffCounterpart: [[spoiler: To the Silver Samurai after being resurrected]].
* {{Expy}}: According to her co-creator Creator/JohnByrne, she was based on Mariko Toda from the novel ''Literature/{{Shogun}}'' (1975). "I had just read ''Shogun'', which Chris had not read at that point. I just absolutely wanted to steal that character, just shamelessly steal the character. And as you probably know, she was created to die."
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Following her resurrection from the Hand, she briefly served them as the Scarlet Samurai. She broke free from it and went back to being a good guy]].
* Fiction500: She was one of the wealthiest people in Japan, with her own companies, a private army, and strongholds in the port city of Agarashima and the Meguro ward of UsefulNotes/{{Tokyo}}.
* KimonoFanservice: The Kimono-clad Japanese beauty had plenty of poses underlining her desirability, properness, and relative innocence.
* KimonoIsTraditional: She spends many of her appearances dressed in a traditional-looking kimono. Indicating her belief in the GoodOldWays.
* TheLostLenore: She is the love interest of the protagonist (Wolverine), dies relatively early in his career, and her death still has consequences on the way Wolvie interacts with her killer Matsu'o Tsurayaba and subsequent love interests.
* MayDecemberRomance: Bordering on MayflyDecemberRomance. Wolverine was born in the 19th century and is much older than Mariko. She died a lot sooner than him.
* MercyKill: Kill by Wolverine as an act of mercy, ending her suffering. She was dying anyway from poison and was in a lot of pain.
* MightyWhiteyAndMellowYellow: Her relationship with Wolverine fits this trope. He is the powerful white warrior, she is the "delicate flower" (as Creator/JohnByrne described her) of Japan. He ends up saving her a lot.
* MoralityPet: Even after her death, Mariko continues to serve as this to Logan; [[spoiler:he once rejected a chance to bring her back to life because it would have required him to spare another evil individual, Logan stating that he loved Mariko because she was a better person than him in every way and she would never have accepted being brought back to life under such circumstances]].
* {{Ojou}}: A wealthy, high-class Japanese woman who died young.
* OppositesAttract: She and Wolverine are opposites in looks (unattractive man, beautiful woman), style (he wears casual clothes, she wears stylish looking ensembles), temperament (HairTriggerTemper versus master of self-control), and social status (wandering vagabond, wealthy property owner). They have the hots for each other. (Notably, when one LotusEaterMachine situation tried to tempt Logan with a vision of Mariko who dropped the ProperLady thing to be a "wild woman for [her] wild man", he ''hated'' it, and it strongly contributed him to breaking free.)
* ParentalSubstitute: She was the surrogate mother to Amiko (Kobayashi), whose real mother died back in 1984.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: After being resurrected, she has shown to be more powerful as the Scarlet Samurai]].
* {{Yakuza}}: Her Clan is part of the Yakuza and she served as a competent and reluctant leader to a crime family.

An ally of Logan and former member of Team X. Christopher Nord was attacked by his former teammate Sabretooth and he was so badly injured he had to make a deal with Malcolm Colcord of Weapon Plus to save his life. He became Agent Zero who would handle tougher missions that the Weapon X strike team couldn't handle. He was later de-powered on M-Day and has seldom been seen since.

* BroughtDownToBadass: Even without his mutant powers, Zero is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant, a precision marksman, and an expert in covert operations and demolitions.
* CoolMask: The Maverick costume included a mask that covered the upper half of his face.
* LegacyCharacter: After he abandoned the Maverick identity to become Agent Zero, he was succeeded by Christopher Bradley until his own death.

One of the Lupines, a humanoid race of mutants with similar abilities as Logan, Remus is the twin sister of their leader, the villainous Romulus. She aids Wolverine against her twin and his army of Sabretooth clones, asking that in return, Logan kill Romulus.

--> ''"Death is the prize that awaits us all. Since it's inevitable, why worry about it?"''

A ronin and free spirited thief-for-hire who has assisted Wolverine on numerous occasions, Yukio sees each day as an adventure, and delights in risking her life. No matter what life throws her way, Yukio enjoys it, an attitude that baffles Wolverine.

* ActionGirl: Ninja variety.
* BoyishShortHair: She usually appears with boyish cuts, although she's been seen with pigtails too.
* FragileSpeedster: Yukio is fast, agile, and well-trained, but lacks the durability and raw strength of a Wolverine or Silver Samurai.
* FriendsWithBenefits: It's been mentioned by Storm that Wolverine engages in frequent casual sex with her whenever he happens to be in Japan to the point where refusing due to his relationship with Melita Garner caused her some degree of irritation.
* MeaningfulRename: According to Wolverine, she changed her name from "Yukiko" so people wouldn't assume she was female.
* {{Ninja}}: Hits all the stereotypes.
* OddFriendship: With both Wolverine and Storm.
* ParentalSubstitute: To Wolverine's foster daughter, Amiko.
* {{Ronin}}: Considers herself to be one.
* SpyCatsuit: Usually wears one instead of a ninja outfit.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Admitted she had a relationship with a Navy serviceman who had his share of crazy experiences and became heavily involved with Wolverine despite him being heavily dangerous.
* FearlessFool: She has no problems with the dangerous and lethally finite station that is being Wolverine's girlfriend and blatantly writes off dangers with sarcasm. She even physically threatened Kid Omega when he badmouthed Wolverine after his most recent death despite Kid Omega being an Omega-Class Mutant that could flatten her on a whim.
* HappilyFailedSuicide: She admitted she once tried to commit suicide and failed, and vowed to "never look back".
* IntrepidReporter: Once something interests her in terms of news, she will not stop until she gets the whole story about the topic. It's how she formed her relationship with Wolverine.

[[folder:Daken]]
!!Daken / Akihiro

Daken featured in Rick Remender's ''[[ComicBook/XForce Uncanny X-Force]]'' and ''ComicBook/UncannyAvengers''. He also was one of five characters focused on in ''The Logan Legacy'', a seven-issue miniseries that explored the aftermath of the death of Wolverine, which starred in the weekly ongoing ''Comicbook/{{Wolverines}}''.

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Has his arm torn off by Mr. Sinister in ''Wolverines'' #1 after his healing factor was stripped from him by Siphon at the end of ''The Logan Legacy''. By the time of ''Comicbook/AllNewWolverine'' his healing factor had recovered and he grew back his arm.]]

* {{Archenemy}}: After Sabretooth he's the strongest contender for the title, what with his EvilCounterpart status, personal connection to Logan, and popularity among writers and fans alike. Ironically and despite this, Daken is shown to be profoundly saddened by Logan's death and makes an effort to give him ''some'' form of proper burial. [[spoiler: Later during ''Comicbook/{{Wolverines}}'' he's insistent that Logan's remains be treated with respect once they're recovered, and is prepared to come to blows with Sabretooth when he (incorrectly) believes the latter is mocking him for it.]]

* DepravedBisexual: Daken has killed countless innocents, including poisoning wine he knew his disposable girlfriend would drink. He was in a relationship with Icemaster in Comicbook/UncannyXMen2018, and in Creator/LeahWilliams's Comicbook/XFactor2020 he is into Aurora and jokes that him being this trope is balanced out by Prodigy's aversion of this trope while they're on the same team.

** In ''Death of Wolverine: The Logan Legacy'' #5, Comicbook/{{Daken}} assaults an auction in Madripoor and slaughters everyone there [[spoiler: except Viper, Mystique, and a former lover]] in order to retrieve the remains of Logan that are being sold there so he can give his father a proper burial. He later angrily snaps at Sabretooth not to mock his insistence that Logan's remains be treated with respect once they recover them in ''Wolverines''.

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Zig-zagged. Daken's SmellsSexy pheromones are just as effective on males as on females, a fact that he ruthlessly exploits as a tool for manipulating people. Even ones who would otherwise find him personally repulsive due to his personality. Also, his attractiveness is nowhere near so effective against those who are not affected by his pheromones. For example, Hulkling of the ''Comicbook/YoungAvengers'' is unaffected, and can even tell that Daken is trying to manipulate him with his pheromones, because Hulkling is a NonHumanHumanoidHybrid with absolutely no human ancestry.

* GenerationXerox: In the end, he and Skaar don't get along any better than Logan and [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk The Hulk]]. Much to Wolverine's relief, because he was utterly terrified by the idea of Daken befriending gamma-powered [[RecycledINSPACE space]] [[Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian Conan]].

* KilledOffForReal: Drowned by Wolverine in ''ComicBook/XForce''. That didn't stick, as he came back in ''Comicbook/UncannyAvengers'' not long afterwards, and he's back to normal by ''All-New Wolverine''.

%%** Daken says this to [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Skaar]] the first time they meet.

* PracticallyDifferentGenerations: Daken was born just after World War II, making him no younger than his 70s. His sister, Comicbook/{{X 23}}, is 20 years old as of ''Comicbook/AllNewWolverine''. Gabby is even ''younger'', being thirteen years old.

* SurvivorGuilt: Muramasa reveals in ''All-New Wolverine #28'' that the reason his HealingFactor remained compromised after the events of ''Comicbook/{{Wolverines}}'' is because of the immense guilt he carries over his father's death, and not being able to stop it.

The events made Mariko the new Clan leader and conveniently a widow. She became engaged to Wolverine and they scheduled their marriage. Events were complicated by the return of her half brother the Silver Samurai who wanted to become Clan leader in her place. He and his lover Viper, targeted Mariko for assassination in ''Comicbook/UncannyXMen'' #172-173 (August-October, 1983). Most of the X-Men almost died in the events of these issues. Wolverine did manage to save the day. But the marriage was cancelled. While everyone was busy with the duo of assassins, Mastermind got to Mariko and managed to corrupt her mind. Under his influence, Mariko declared Wolvie unworthy for her hand and dismissed him. Several issues later she regained her senses, but now felt unworthy of him.

* AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: The Earth-616 Mariko is a common human. The Earth-2109 is Sunfire, a mutant, member of the Comicbook/XMen, and a prominent member of the Comicbook/{{Exiles}}.

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Zig-zagged. Daken's SmellsSexy pheromones are just as effective on males as on females, a fact that he ruthlessly exploits as a tool for manipulating people. Even ones who would otherwise find him personally repulsive due to his personality. Also, his attractiveness is nowhere near so effective against those who are not affected by his pheromones. For example, ComicBook/{{Hulkling}} of the ''Comicbook/YoungAvengers'' is unaffected, and can even tell that Daken is trying to manipulate him with his pheromones, because Hulkling is a NonHumanHumanoidHybrid with absolutely no human ancestry.

* SmellsSexy: He has pheromones that let him nudge people's emotions. The pheromones allow him to push people's emotions in many directions, and Daken has been shown to use this to good effect... He just prefers using it to make himself a sex god. It does not, however, work on non-humans, regardless of sexual orientation, as [[spoiler:[[ComicBook/YoungAvengers Hulkling]]]] proved.

* RapunzelHair: Her red hair is incredibly long. It's actually comparable to ComicBook/{{Medusa|MarvelComics}}'s.

* StuffedIntoTheFridge: Daken's mother, Itsu, was murdered by the Winter Soldier before he was born. She had almost no personality developed and was mainly a plot excuse to cause Daken and Logan to fight. His mutant healing factor kicked in and he survived long enough to be rescued by Romulus. This led to the only thing approaching a soft spot he has in memory of her.

!!The Professor / Truett MacDonald Hudson

* NotSoDifferent:

%%** He has a bit of this with X-23 as well. In fact those similarities are among the reasons they ultimately bonded.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: It's never been explained exactly where Marcus Roston got his powers.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Prior to becoming a movie star, Marcus Roston was a member of the Pride, but was kicked out because he seemed to be taking an unhealthy interest in their kids. Apparently, even a cabal dedicated to purging the earth of almost all life has standards.

[[quoteright:179:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/daken_1089.jpg]]

Daken is the son of ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} and his deceased wife Itsu. Blessed with his dad's WolverineClaws (although with a twist or two there) and HealingFactor, as well as the added ability to give off pheromones, Daken is a younger, darker and edgier version of his dad, who was the dark and edgy poster child of the 70s-90s. He loves {{Xanatos Gambit}}s, and seducing people just to prove he can, is apparently [[AnythingThatMoves Omnisexual]] (or at least bi-sexual) and smart enough to dupe ComicBook/NormanOsborn and [[ComicBook/MisterFantastic Reed Richards]] -- but still gets his ass handed to him by his father. Speaking of dad, Daken has quite a few [[DisappearedDad daddy issues]].

\\\
Mariko is one of Wolverine's most prominent lovers, a Japanese heiress with connections to both Japanese nobility and the {{Yakuza}}. She was born to the prominent Yashida Clan. She is a half-sister to the original Silver Samurai/Keniuchio Harada and a cousin to Sunfire/Shiro Yoshida and Sunpyre/Leyu Yoshida. She and Wolverine dated from 1979 to 1982. Then the events of ''Wolverine'' #1-4 (September-December, 1982) took place. Her father and Clan leader Shingen Harada returned after a lengthy absence. He forced to terminate her relationship with Wolvie and to marry his chosen heir Noburu-Hideki. Wolverine went to Japan to investigate what happened and Shingen targeted him for termination. Shingen ended up killed by Wolverine, and Noburu killed by Yukio.

The events made Mariko the new Clan leader and conveniently a widow. She became engaged to Wolverine and they scheduled their marriage. Events were complicated by the return of her half brother the Silver Samurai who wanted to become Clan leader in her place. He and his lover Viper, targeted Mariko for assassination in ''Comicbook/UncannyXMen'' #172-173 (August-October, 1983). Most of the X-Men almost died in the events of these issues. Wolverine did manage to save the day. But the marriage was cancelled. While everyone was busy with the duo of assassins, Mastermind got to Mariko and managed to corrupt her mind. Under his influence, Mariko declared Wolvie unworthy for her hand and dismissed him. Several issues later she regained her senses, but now felt unworthy of him.

Mariko and Wolverine continued seeing each other over the years. She even served as a surrogate mother for his adoptive daughter Amiko (Kobayashi). Then came the events of ''Wolverine'' vol. 2 #55-57 (June-July, 1992). She got into a gang war with Matsu'o Tsurayaba. She ended up poisoned and dying in pain. She asked Wolvie to MercyKill her to end the pain. He did so, a memory that has continued to haunt him over the years. He swore bloody revenge on Matsu'o. Once a year, Wolvie visits his old foe and mutilates him. Leading to Matsu'o looking barely human.

Mariko remained dead for 25 years and turned up often in flashbacks, dreams, and hallucinations with her soul turned up trapped in a version of {{Hell}}. She was eventually resurrected by the Hand to serve as an enforcer, the Scarlet Samurai, but the aid of Old Man Logan set her free and she departed to live her own life.

* AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: The Earth-616 Mariko is a common human. The Earth-2109 is Sunfire, a mutant, member of the Comicbook/XMen, and a prominent member of the Comicbook/{{Exiles}}.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: In ''Old Man Logan'' #32, it is revealed that she has been resurrected by the Hand and has become the Scarlet Samurai]].
* BeastAndBeauty: According to Creator/ChrisClaremont he pictured Wolverine and Mariko fitting this trope. Him being an unattractive man with violent, animalistic urges. She being a beautiful, calm woman which [[MoralityPet brings out the best in him]].
* DistaffCounterpart: [[spoiler: To the Silver Samurai after being resurrected]].
* {{Expy}}: According to her co-creator Creator/JohnByrne, she was based on Mariko Toda from the novel ''Literature/{{Shogun}}'' (1975). "I had just read ''Shogun'', which Chris had not read at that point. I just absolutely wanted to steal that character, just shamelessly steal the character. And as you probably know, she was created to die."
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Following her resurrection from the Hand, she briefly served them as the Scarlet Samurai. She broke free from it and went back to being a good guy]].
* Fiction500: She was one of the wealthiest people in Japan, with her own companies, a private army, and strongholds in the port city of Agarashima and the Meguro ward of UsefulNotes/{{Tokyo}}.
* KimonoFanservice: The Kimono-clad Japanese beauty had plenty of poses underlining her desirability, properness, and relative innocence.
* KimonoIsTraditional: She spends many of her appearances dressed in a traditional-looking kimono. Indicating her belief in the GoodOldWays.
* TheLostLenore: She is the love interest of the protagonist (Wolverine), dies relatively early in his career, and her death still has consequences on the way Wolvie interacts with her killer Matsu'o Tsurayaba and subsequent love interests.
* MayDecemberRomance: Bordering on MayflyDecemberRomance. Wolverine was born in the 19th century and is much older than Mariko. She died a lot sooner than him.
* MercyKill: Kill by Wolverine as an act of mercy, ending her suffering. She was dying anyway from poison and was in a lot of pain.
* MightyWhiteyAndMellowYellow: Her relationship with Wolverine fits this trope. He is the powerful white warrior, she is the "delicate flower" (as Creator/JohnByrne described her) of Japan. He ends up saving her a lot.
* MoralityPet: Even after her death, Mariko continues to serve as this to Logan; [[spoiler:he once rejected a chance to bring her back to life because it would have required him to spare another evil individual, Logan stating that he loved Mariko because she was a better person than him in every way and she would never have accepted being brought back to life under such circumstances]].
* {{Ojou}}: A wealthy, high-class Japanese woman who died young.
* OppositesAttract: She and Wolverine are opposites in looks (unattractive man, beautiful woman), style (he wears casual clothes, she wears stylish looking ensembles), temperament (HairTriggerTemper versus master of self-control), and social status (wandering vagabond, wealthy property owner). They have the hots for each other. (Notably, when one LotusEaterMachine situation tried to tempt Logan with a vision of Mariko who dropped the ProperLady thing to be a "wild woman for [her] wild man", he ''hated'' it, and it strongly contributed him to breaking free.)
* ParentalSubstitute: She was the surrogate mother to Amiko (Kobayashi), whose real mother died back in 1984.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: After being resurrected, she has shown to be more powerful as the Scarlet Samurai]].
* {{Yakuza}}: Her Clan is part of the Yakuza and she served as a competent and reluctant leader to a crime family.
