Victor Creed was a mutant with animal-like abilities which led to him taking on the name Sabretooth, eventually being banished to the Void by the Time Variance Authority. Having joined Cassandra Nova's rogue group of henchmen, he encountered Deadpool and his alternate half-brother, Wolverine, before challenging Wolverine and was swiftly decapitated by him.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Brother of Logan[]
Sabretooth was a mutant with regenerative abilities and retractable claws at his nails. He grew up alongside his half-brother Logan in Canada. The pair eventually became enemies.[2]
In the Void[]
Cassandra Nova's Henchman[]
Eventually, he was pruned by the Time Variance Authority, ending up in the Void, where he joined Cassandra Nova's Henchmen. Sabretooth was marauding alongside other members of the crew when they encountered Johnny Storm, Deadpool, and an alternate Wolverine, the latter two of which had just arrived in the Void themselves. Recognizing Wolverine, Sabretooth dismounted from his vehicle and challenged his half-brother to a duel. Before they could begin, however, Deadpool took the time to clean Wolverine up and give him strategy advice, to Wolverine's annoyance.
Sabretooth charges at Wolverine
The two then charged at each other, screaming, but Sabretooth was swiftly decapitated by Wolverine's claws, his body dropping to the ground at Deadpool's feet. Taking Sabretooth's severed head in his hand, Deadpool challenged the other marauders, with Wolverine taunting "Who's next?". However, they were quickly incapacitated by Toad using a large magnet attached to one of the crew's vehicles.[2]
Personality[]
A merciless brute of brawn over brain with years of experience in killing, Sabretooth is confident in his skills and enhanced abilities, as he does not hesitate to challenge an alternate version of Wolverine, his half-brother, in hand-to-hand combat. However, Creed's confidence and underestimation of his enemies' capabilities eventually proved to be his fatal flaw, as he was quickly dispatched comfortably by Wolverine within a single slash of the claws, cutting his head off without sustaining any further injuries himself.

Trivia[]
- In the comics, Victor Creed, also known as Sabretooth, is a mutant who is commonly depicted as a primary antagonist towards the X-Men, and as the archenemy of Wolverine. The two characters share a history together as former participants in the Weapon X program and as part of the CIA-based mutant black ops unit Team X.
