Who is sabretooth

Sabretooth's natural healing abilities were formidable but were greatly accelerated thanks to Weapon X experimentation. As a result, Creed enjoys greater stamina, durability and decreased aging, as well as immunity to most poisons -- save adamantium poisoning which is only suppressed by his healing, not cured. Creed has used his healing factor to survive everything from the loss of limbs to surviving catastrophic plane crashes while fighting Wolverine.

Like Login, his healing factor can be suppressed by the notorious Muramasa blade. As part of his natural mutant powers, Sabretooth's senses are elevated, making him an incredible tracker. It was revealed in the pages of Chris Claremont and John Buscema's Wolverine 10 that he hunts down Wolverine every year on his birthday -- no matter where the X-Man is -- to try and kill him.

His vision is enhanced to a level that allows him to see in the dark, as well as in infra-red. His hearing has great amplitude and under the right conditions can pick up quiet noises from feet away. The most interesting part of his enhanced senses is his taste, which allows him to define granular aspects of a taste palette within food.

His sense of touch, however, appears to be rather normal. His hunting ability resulted in a mysterious past with Kraven the Hunter, which caused friction when the duo were drafted into Nick Fury's Avengers team together. Although, his enhanced senses can also be a disadvantage, able to be manipulated by certain sound frequencies and trigger scents, similar to the one used on X On top of all of his more specialized abilities, Sabretooth boasts incredible strength.

He is often seen holding his own against physically imposing enemies and is able to throw the likes of Wolverine around despite the weight of Logan's Skeleton. In addition to his raw animalistic strength, Creed's physical prowess and muscle structure has been enhanced not once, but twice. Sabretooth decided to follow Wolverine's example and try to do good, but before that, he turned himself in to the authorities to pay for the crimes he had committed.

When Logan and Warpath left the team, Victor took over as leader. They successfully accomplished many jobs under his leadership, even killing William Stryker for good. Through a series of tragic events, Creed was reverted to his old self to pick up where he left off in his evil. But being back to his bloodthirsty ways and killing humans led to his exile beneath Krakoa in stasis where he will remain conscious but immobile forever.

He frequently targets and kills civilians during other fights involving the loose-knit team, but he is loose friends with Logan.

During this period he fathers a son, Graydon Creed , with the mutant shapeshifter Mystique , who is undercover in the guise of a spy named Leni Zauber. Graydon eventually grows up to found Friends of Humanity , an anti-mutant organization. Next, Sabretooth is recruited by the Weapon X program, but it is unknown what, if any, enhancements he receives.

He does receive the standard Weapon X memory tampering, and he is found to be more prone to telepathy than his counterpart, Wolverine. In , Creed, using the alias Sabretooth, works as a mercenary assassin in Saigon and is responsible for the murder of several prostitutes. Because of his contacts, Creed becomes aware that an individual, the White Devil, is involved in the disappearance of soldiers and locals, which are rumored to be the victims of experimentation.

Sabretooth is approached by Scalphunter , who has killed Creed's employer. Creed then receives a large sum of money as a compensation for his employer's death and because the White Devil wants to employ him as one of his own enforcers, an offer Sabretooth accepts. He also likes wolverines Girlfriend. Eventually emerging as a costumed villain, Sabretooth becomes partners with the Constrictor and the two act as enforcers for major criminal interests.

Sabretooth soon battles Iron Fist for the first time and is badly beaten. With the Constrictor, Creed begins to stalk and kill human beings for pleasure, which earns him the newspaper title of "The Slasher"; he also attacks Misty Knight again.

The Constrictor and Sabretooth soon dissolve their partnership, and Sabretooth nearly kills the Constrictor at one time. Sabretooth is next reunited with his employer, the Foreigner, who claims to have trained the mercenary at some point. He attempted to attack the Black Cat, where he nearly bites through her leg until he encounters a crowbar hidden underneath her boot. He was defeated by Spider-Man, and defeated by the Black Cat in combat.

Sabretooth eventually encounters a thief by the name of Gambit , and the two fight, but find they aren't exactly enemies. Later, while recruiting for mastermind villain Mister Sinister , Gambit gathers a group of mutant criminals he has associated with who form the Marauders. Sinister clones several of the Marauders so that he has a loyal group of lackeys after the originals die, but Sabretooth cannot be cloned. Still, he stays with the Marauders for an unspecified amount of time before leaving and returning to his mercenary roots.

The Marauders participate in the "Mutant Massacre" of the Morlocks , which sets Sabretooth in another battle against Wolverine. He recounted his first battle with Wolverine after the latter had joined the X-Men.

Sabretooth and the Marauders joined in an attack on Polaris , and battled Wolverine again during the Marauders' attempt to capture Madelyne Pryor. Sabretooth later hunted Wolverine in Madripoor, and recounted his alleged first battle with Wolverine after apparently murdering Wolverine's lover, Silver Fox.

During his time as a mercenary, he establishes himself as a hero-fighting villain by taking on the likes of Ms. Also during this time, the ninja organization the Hand augments his strength.

Sabretooth eventually returns to the sewers to slaughter some leftover Morlocks, Chickenwings and Mole. He killed 'Wings, hunted Mole, and then battled Archangel. Caliban , a surviving Morlock who previously pledged his life to the immortal mutant Apocalypse , hunts for Sabretooth, who then attacks Rictor.

In a vicious battle, the once meek Caliban breaks Sabretooth's spine, and leaves him for dead. Sabretooth's healing ability repairs this damage, but he doesn't track the augmented Caliban down. Sabretooth also clashes with Cable during these events. Sabretooth battled Wolverine, again claiming to be his father. However, it was revealed by genetic testing by S.

Sabretooth attacked Wolverine again in Times Square, fought the Hunter in Darkness, and underwent a hallucination about the "Project". Wolverine then experienced a memory in which he and Sabretooth were partners as CIA agents. Wolverine then experienced a memory of Sabretooth killing Janice Hollenbeck during their mission to rescue her, beginning their feud; Sabretooth then allied with Fenris and Matsu'o Tsurayaba and fought the X-Men and Maverick.

Sabretooth returns to his enemy Wolverine, and the pair are reunited with Team X. Wolverine and Sabretooth discover Silver Fox is actually alive, but she only remembers a hatred for Logan. Ferro takes control of Creed and coerces him to kill Silver Fox, this time for real. Psi-Borg then apparently consumed Creed. Soon, suffering from severe bloodlust, Sabretooth hires telepathic mutant Birdy to help him keep his urges in check by providing what he calls "the glow," a psychic blast that satiates his bloodlust and numbs the pain of his suppressed memories as a youth, allowing himself control for short periods.

Sabretooth is next hired by the Hand's leader, Matsuo, in an attempt to defeat the X-Men with the newly reanimated Omega Red. During the battle, Psylocke possesses Sabretooth to free her teammates.

A short time later, Birdy is killed by Sabretooth's grown son Graydon; Graydon now has a hatred for mutants, especially his father. Without the "glow," Sabretooth slips into a murderous killing spree. This culminates in a clash with Maverick, whom Sabretooth defeats. He escapes, claiming only Wolverine can do what needs to be done to the psychotic Creed as he leaps out a window. Maverick approaches the X-Men and in Japan, an ancient telepath, comatose since the nuclear bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, mind-links and the team discovers Creed's psychosis was rooted in his time as a CIA operative: on a mission, he slaughtered a target, his wife a "freebie" for Creed , and a little boy.

The look in the boy's eyes has followed Creed ever since. As Xavier infiltrates Creed's mind, he discovers that every victim Sabretooth has killed is remembered by the villain. Xavier is confident this means Creed values human life, and there is hope for the mutant. Sabretooth is incarcerated, as a wanted murderer, in a holographic environment because Xavier does not want him to roam on the grounds.

Sabretooth is angered, but grudgingly stays with the team.
