Product Backstory
After suffering an abusive childhood, the feral mutant named Victor Creed grew up to adopt the name Sabretooth, living in a small Canadian frontier community. Sabretooth intimidated almost everyone except a young man named Logan who possessed superhuman abilities similar to his own. Hating the love that existed between Logan and a young girl named Silver Fox, Sabretooth brutally assaulted her and left her for dead. The enraged Logan then forced Sabretooth into battle, which ended with Sabretooth victorious. Unbeknownst to either combatant, Silver Fox survived the attack and soon departed.

Years later, Sabretooth served in Team X, a special intelligence unit for the subversive Weapon X Program where he was reunited with Logan, now known as Wolverine, but neither of them recalled their past conflict due to false memory implants. Animosity grew between the two, and during a mission to East Berlin, Germany, a falling out foreshadowed the almost constant conflict that would plague them both and pit them as adversaries for many decades to come.

Leaving Team X after the clash, Sabretooth had a relationship with the shapeshifter Mystique and became allied with Foreigner, head of the assassins' guild 1400 Club. He has worked for the Hellfire Club and the Brotherhood of Mutants and become an almost constant adversary of the X-Men. Over the years, Sabretooth developed a psychotic bloodlust that seemed to eventually overcome him entirely, and no attempt at rehabilitation has helped to quell his violent rampages.
