Victor Creed was a mutant with a regenerative healing factor, extendable claws, and heightened senses, strength, reflexes and agility. He possessed animalistic attributes, such as excessive hair, fangs and claws.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Victor Creed was the son of Thomas Logan, which made him James Howlett's half brother. One night while young James was sick, Thomas entered the Howlett home looking for James' mother Elizabeth. Thomas shot and killed her husband, John. James impaled Thomas with his newly sprung mutant claws just before Thomas could reveal that he was his real father. After Thomas died Elizabeth cast her son out calling him a freak. James fled and Victor followed.

As the two boys grew into men, they fought together as Canadian mercenaries in the American Civil War, World War I, World War II. and the Vietnam War. Victor grew increasingly violent and uncontrolable as time passed. During the Vietnam War, he attempted to rape a young Vietnamese woman and then brutallly attacked the soldiers who tried to stop him. This incident put both him and James in front of a firing squad. They survived the death sentence, and were invited to join Major Stryker's black ops team, Team X.

James eventually left both the team and Victor when he witnessed Stryker's willingness to kill innocent civilians and Victor's acceptance of this. Victor and Stryker subsequently worked together to capture various mutants for experiments.

In 1979 Victor agreed to go along with Styker's plan to trick Logan into agreeing to have adamantium bonded to his skeleton by claiming that Victor had gone rogue and had killed the Silver Fox, the woman James loved. Prior to the adamantium bonding process James and Victor fought in a bar in Canada, with Victor savagely beating James and snapping his bone claws.

The animosity between Victor and James was made even worse when Stryker revealed that, contrary to his deal with Victor, he couldn't merge adamantium to Victor's skeleton because it would kill him. Stryker claimed that Victor's healing factor was not strong enough to allow him to survive the process. Despite this animosity between James and Victor, they fought together to defeat Stryker's 'Weapon XI'. Victor claimed that he was the only person with the right to kill Wolverine. He departed when the battle was over.

X-Men

Creed took on the name Sabretooth and began working for Magneto in the Brotherhood of Mutants. He had evolved into an even more bestial creature. He was bigger and stronger, but was unkempt in appearance. It is unknown if this mutation was natural or was the result of Weapon X experimentation.

Trying to capture Rogue for Magneto, he came across Wolverine in Northern Alberta, a snowy forest area. He chased away by the the sudden arrival of the X-Men Cyclops and Storm. Before departing, he took Wolverine's dog tags. When Magneto left them on his desk Victor kept them for himself.

Later, he taunted Storm in a train station as Magneto pursued Rogue, however he was struck with a lightning bolt from Storm, blasting him away.

Later, he and Wolverine fought on the Statue of Liberty, where Wolverine was able to retrieve his tags. He was blasted off the statue by Cyclops and crashed onto a boat.

Victor's name later appeared on a list of mutants Mystique scrolled through on Stryker's computer while looking for Magneto's file.

NotesEdit

In X-Men Origins: Wolverine Victor was revealed to be the half brother of Wolverine.

It seems that Sabretooth and Dog Logan are the same person in the X-Men film series. Although Thomas Logan is established as his father it is unknown why he doesn't share his last name.

In X-Men Origins: Wolverine he possessed normal intelligence. It has not yet been revealed how he became more animalistic or how he lost his memory. It is unclear if Sabretooth remembered his half-brother during the original X-Men film, as he barely spoke. His taking Wolverine's dog tags could be a sign that he did, in fact, remember. It is possible that he lost his memory due to his further feral mutation, though this is never stated.

According to numerous tie-ins to the films, he survived his fall from the Statue of Liberty.

In X-Men Victor Creed is portrayed by Tyler Mane and in the prequel X-Men Origins: Wolverine he was portrayed by Liev Schreiber.

At the end of X-Men a television news report can be heard saying that Henry Guyrich's dead body was found, apparently mauled by a bear. This was likely Sabretooth.

TriviaEdit

Both Sabretooth and Dog Logan started off with dark hair that later became blonde as the years went by.
