Comments: Little is known about the early life of the feral mutant named Victor Creed, although it is believed that he suffered an abusive childhood at the hands of his father who was disgusted by the boy's mutant nature. As an adult, Creed took the name Sabretooth, and by the 1910s, he was known by this name in a small Canadian frontier community where he intimidated almost everyone. One of the few exceptions was a young man named Logan, whom Sabretooth sensed had superhuman abilities similar to his own. A vicious fight erupted between the two, when a jealous Sabretooth assaulted Logan's girlfriend Silver Fox, beginning a violent rivalry that would last a lifetime.
Sabretooth's went undetected until the early 1960s when he served in Team X, a special intelligence unit run by the Central Intelligence Agency for the subversive Weapon X Program. In Team X, Sabretooth was reunited with both Logan, now known as Wolverine, and Silver Fox, though none could recall their past encounter due to false memory implants from Weapon X ally Psi-Borg. During a mission in East Berlin, tensions between Sabretooth and Wolverine escalated yet again. Sabretooth remained with Team X until it disbanded, and afterward, he set out on his own as a hired assassin, earning a worldwide reputation.
In recent years Sabretooth developed a psychotic bloodlust that overcame his admittedly heartless human persona. As a result of this further mutation, Sabretooth's features became more animal-like. Over the years, Sabretooth would have many dark alliances and commit countless crimes and murders. Though at times able to control his feral instinct, Sabretooth would ultimately return to violence.
