TRIVIA
Daken is bisexual and has used his pheromones to entice or confuse both men and women.
He used his pheromones on Lester (Bullseye), making him jealous, angry, and confused at random in order to exacerbate his paranoia and erratic behavior to discredit him. He later kissed him (nonconsensually) during the Siege of Asgard.
At some point Daken had a relationship with a male Hydra agent named Kim. Years later Daken spared him during a massacre "for old times sake." Kim was killed/mentally overloaded by one of his superiors in an interrogation about the incident.
