Akihiro, known as Daken and later Fang and Hellverine, is Wolverine's mutant son, raised in Japan and shaped by the warlord Romulus into a manipulative killer. He served the Dark Avengers, ruled Madripoor's underworld, died and returned several times, and on Krakoa reformed through X-Factor, the Marauders and Alpha Flight. Killed by Sabretooth, he was revived by the demon Bagra-ghul as Hellverine and later joined Cable's X-Force.
