Sabretooth[a] is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly in association with the X-Men. Created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, he first appeared in Iron Fist #14 (August 1977) and was initially depicted as a serial killer known as "the Slasher", before being developed into an X-Men villain during the "Mutant Massacre" crossover in 1986. This portrayal of Sabretooth has endured as the archenemy of the superhero Wolverine.
In his comic book appearances, Sabretooth is the alias of Victor Creed, a psychopathic mutant with enhanced senses, razor-sharp claws, superhuman strength and reflexes, and regenerative healing abilities. There have been various possible accounts of the origin of Sabretooth's feud with Wolverine. The most common story involves both of them being participants of the Weapon X super-soldier program. After Wolverine escapes and attempts to suppress his animalistic qualities, Sabretooth becomes obsessed with forcing Wolverine to embrace his feral instincts by tormenting him and ruining his life.
The character has appeared in several X-Men media. In live-action, Sabretooth was portrayed by Tyler Mane in the films X-Men (2000) and returns in the MCU film Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) and by Liev Schreiber in the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009). In May 2008, Wizard magazine ranked Sabretooth #193 of the 200 best comic book characters of all time.[5] In 2009, Sabretooth was ranked as IGN's 44th Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time.[6]
