X-Necrosha, not only being a plague - I mean...play on Genosha's name, was one heck of bangin' start to this X-Men crossover. For those of you that do not know, X-Necrosha is the story of long time X-Men foe Selene, making her move to destroy the people that she felt destroyed her. Her ancient lover, Eli Bard is backing her with an undead army of mutants that he resurrects using the stolen Techno-Virus from Bastion. Selene starts things off by attacking various X-Teams on the new headquarters of Utopia. She shows great strategic skills by sending the (un)dead team of Hellions to confront Emma Frost. They catch her off guard and attempt to attack her but Cyclops, Domino, and Wolverine jump in to help. Wolverine makes an attempt to end it fast by stabbing a Hellion but the impaling has no effect and Wolvy is knocked into the ocean thus, taking a big player off the board early. The same strategy is used when the resurrected Cypher uses his past with Magma to infiltrate her room and sneak attack her. Another battle highlighted is the resurrected Pyro and Berserker taking on Warpath and Archangel. The story ends with Selene and her Inner Circle stepping on the shores of Hammer Bay, Genosha with the idea of resurrecting the dead.

Ever since we found out Logan's son lived through Romulus' brutal murder of Itsu Wolverne: Origins #5) , Daken has been shrouded in mystery; Much like his master Romulus. Romulus kept a tight leash on Daken after pulling him from his mother's womb. Even though he left him with a young Japanese couple, he still watched from the shadows, manipulating Daken into becoming cold and heartless.

His first bout of evil came when he killed a young boy in his village for teasing him with the nickname Daken, English for mongrel. He was told he was a half-breed and not worthy. As the years passed, Daken became increasingly separated from his adopted mother but, surprisingly, had a close relationship with his father. His father introduced him to Dragons. Daken quickly developed a fascination with the Dragons, but also feared them. He was fascinated by their powerful presence and fearful of their iconic symbol.  This explains why Daken has the tattoo on his body and why he has his hair in the fashion that he does. He is representing something more than himself, he is representing the Dragons immortalized on his body.
