Sabretooth
Victor Creed
Wolverine's dark mirror (a feral mutant with the same healing factor and animal senses, but none of Logan's restraint or conscience). Victor Creed has spent over a century as a killer, mercenary, and sadist who makes it personal by hunting Logan every birthday. He is everything Wolverine fears he could become.

Sabretooth remains one of Wolverine's most enduring rivals, with Liev Schreiber's portrayal in *X-Men Origins: Wolverine* earning particular praise from fans. Victor Creed's recent solo runs, including the *Sabretooth* series exploring his time in the Pit and *Sabretooth & the Exiles*, have given the character unexpected depth and complexity beyond his traditional savage villain role. His current appearances in *Sabretooth: The Dead Don't Talk* and his complicated relationship with Laura Kinney continue to keep the character relevant in modern X-Men continuity.
