I dont even think editorial knows, they had cool goth uncle daken in all new wolverine and lovely c-list angry villain daken in iceman running at the same time

I hope writers decide to ignore Daken's characterization in the Iceman series and just go for Cool Goth Uncle.

They should have him show up with the tattoo done really lovely sometime because his regular guy was overbooked, so he let the new guy at the shop take a crack at it because gently caress it, he's probably only going to have this arm for like a month anyway, right?

It's not like they're that good to begin with.

Did Daken's tattoos grow back with his arm?

Why not? Logan's hair grows back in the same style every time. If Daken's self-perception includes the tattoos, they could grow back, that's not even on the radar as far as ridiculous mutant powers goes.

It's not a tattoo, Daken got branded when he fought Lou-Gan The Undying and became the Immortal Wolverine

I've been binging on the Injustice comics. The first run was pretty good, but Injustice 2 is just so much more fun. I really enjoy the little threads they leave running through everything.

Injustice 2, Issue 34, after a small town got genocided by an Amazo.



Injustice 2, Issue 55, Hal Jordan on a prison world for murdering, amongst others, Guy Gardner.



Injustice 2, Issue 63, the first thing Lobo does after getting a Power Ring




And the second thing Lobo does after getting a Power Ring:



It's so much fun.

Hey, it's better than Kyle Rayner, who got torn apart in space before he could even do anything. Although that was an incredibly meta moment, as Sinestro essentially gave a speech about how there's no room in a story this dark for a character like him.

Which is funny, because the plot of the Injustice 2 game is largely centred around Supergirl and how she's this naive, optimistic beacon of hope.

This way, he gets to live with Guy Gardner as his guilty conscious for the rest of his life. Commentating on everything that he does.

It was also meta in the sense that Kyle was flying home from space, excited to go see his girlfriend and yet he's the one who died horribly.

I know he got the guys who put him in a sack and threw him over a bridge. As I recall, his origin story ended with the "I find who hurt you. I kill. I good kitty" bit, so he hadn't caught the guy.

No tenses, though, and he's curled up on three skulls (only two threw him off the bridge) so I figured it was "I found who hurt you".

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

depends who his girlfriend was in this universe, considering she was earth-based it's loving weird. More weird that he'd be going to earth anyway, he's been space locked for so long.

Also a 'Fridging' specifically refers to the killing of a character lacking in character traits for the sake of providing motivation for another character.

No that was him, your comment just isn't applicable. Because he can't be "Fridged" if it's not to motivate someone else. That was the whole problem Gail Simone had with the death, that it was a character being killed to provide righteous motivation to another.
