Akihiro (Earth-616)
Most recently, in May 2024, Akihiro was resurrected and revealed to be the true identity of the titular protagonist in the Hellverine miniseries. This series, written by Benjamin Percy and drawn by Julius Ohta, introduced Akihiro's new persona as "Hellverine".
The Hellverine storyline involves the demon Bagra-ghul, who had previously fought and briefly possessed Logan, being drawn to Akihiro's gravesite at the North Pole due to his similar presence to his father's. Bagra-ghul stitched Akihiro's body back together, resurrected and possessed him, transforming him into Hellverine.
This latest appearance as Hellverine represents a significant development for the character, continuing his story even after what was thought to be a permanent death due to the fall of Krakoa and the absence of the Resurrection Protocols.
Backstory
Daken is the son of Wolverine and Itsu.
Daken (/ˈdɑːkən/; birth name: Akihiro) is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Daken was created by writer Daniel Way and artist Steve Dillon and first appeared in Wolverine: Origins #10 (March 2007).
Akihiro was the son of Wolverine and his Japanese wife, Itsu. In 1946, Itsu, while in the last stages of her pregnancy, was murdered by the Winter Soldier in an attempt to draw Wolverine out and return him to the custody of Madripoor. After Itsu's death, Romulus took the baby, cutting him from his mother's womb and leaving her body behind. The baby survived the incident, possibly due to his mutant healing factor, which he inherited from his father.
