The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon lets Daryl be his true self: Wolverine
Throughout The Walking Dead’s near 15-year run as a televised franchise (the comic it’s based on turns 20 this October), many characters have served as its figureheads. You have Rick Grimes, the former cop who does his best to maintain order among communities prone to bloodlust. You have Michonne, the katana-wielding badass, and Glenn, the hopeful fan favorite. You even have Negan, a man who ranges from “reformed warlord” to “perverse psychopath.” All of these characters are fairly close adaptations of those found in the original comics. But one, a character that potentially eclipsed the popularity of all of them, was totally new when he debuted in the second episode of the first season: Daryl Dixon.
