Sabretooth

**Sabretooth** (born **Victor Creed**) is a mutant who, like his younger half-brother Wolverine, has a number of animal-like abilities, such as retractable claws, enhanced senses, and a regenerative healing factor.

## Personality

Sabretooth generally is angry and says that he is an animal, also trying to convince his half-brother Logan. His only good side was with Logan as he and Logan would protect each other since they were kids and through the wars. After Logan left him, Victor didn't take the rejection well and continued to work with Stryker. After six years, Victor gained contact with him again after he killed his girlfriend Kayla Silverfox.

After losing his memory and enhancing his mutation, Sabretooth shows more animalistic characteristics and follows Magneto as his leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants.

## Powers, Abilities, & Weaknesses

### Powers

* **Regenerative Healing Factor** - Like his half-brother Logan, Victor's primary mutant power is an extremely accelerated & improved healing powers, that enable him to regenerate damaged or destroyed areas of his anatomy with far beyond a normal human's capacity.
	+ **Decelerated Aging** - Victor does not age like others due to his extreme regenerative capabilities.
	+ **Disease/Contaminant Immunity** - Victor's natural healing also affords him the virtual immunity to any virus, diseases, even any poisons or toxins.
	+ **Psionic Resistance**- Victor is immune to telepathic manipulation, at least if the telepath attempts to manipulate him through physical contact. This is made evident when Silverfox, strangled by Victor, made a failed attempt to telepathically manipulate him by clutching his arm. Although this may also be due to his lack of emotions for any living being, except Logan.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina** - Victor's advanced musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than an ordinary human, due in large part to the effects of his mutant healing factor. Due to this and his larger frame, Victor's resilience and endurance is noticeably greater than his half brother, Wolverine's, allowing him to withstand stronger attacks if not recover faster than Wolverine. Only when Wolverine had an adamantium skeleton did he exceed Victor in stamina, but Victor's secondary mutation evened the odds, allowing them to finally be equals.
* **Retractable Fangs** - Victor has large canine teeth, akin to a big cat's, which are much larger than a normal human's canine teeth.
* **Retractable Claws** - Victor has 10 retractable 3-inch talons in place of fingernails. These claws are naturally sharper and tougher than that of normal human bone structure, allowing Victor to cut through most types of flesh and natural materials. His ability to slice completely through a substance depends on the thickness of the substance and the amount of force he can exert. People have mistaken some of his victims as being mauled by an animal, such as a bear.
	+ **Wall Climbing** - He has used his claws and strength to climb buildings made of concrete and metal.
* **Enhanced Speed** - Victor is also noticeably fast, able to outpace most humans akin to a predator attack its prey.
* **Superhuman Agility** - Victor's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels beyond the human body's natural limits, even those of the finest human athlete. He is even able to move about more efficiently on all fours than simply standing on his legs.
* **Superhuman Reflexes** - Victor's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.
* **Superhuman Senses** - Victor's feral mutation provided him with extremely acute senses.
* **Superhuman Strength** - Victor possesses superhuman strength, which has varied at times due to ongoing and subsequent mutations. People have mistaken victims of his strength as being mauled by animals such as bears. His strength surpassed Wolverine's, allowing him to overpower and heavily damage Wolverine, leaving his half brother senseless and his claws broken. Only when Wolverine obtained an adamantium skeleton did his strength surpass Victor's, to the point where Wolverine could kill him should he overpower Victor. Victor in his secondary mutation had strength equal to that of Wolverine's, as they can finally fight on par with each other, to the point where either one could win.

### Abilities

* **Expert Hand-To-Hand Combatant** - Sabretooth has skills in hand-to-hand combat due to his various training by the American military in the American Civil War, WWI and WWII and the Vietnam War. He has also has been trained by Team X program.
* **Weapons Proficiency** - Sabretooth has skills in armed combat due to his various training by the American military in the American Civil War, WWI and WWII and the Vietnam War. He also has been trained by Team X program.

### Weaknesses

* **Decapitation** - If Sabretooth's head was to be decapitated, he wouldn't be able to regenerate/heal himself and thus would die.
* **Limited Healing Factor** - According to Stryker, Sabretooth's healing factor isn't as powerful as Wolverine's, as Victor wouldn't be able to survive the process of bonding adamantium to his skeleton like Wolverine did. Though it should be noted that Wolverine did enter a flatline state during the procedure, implying Victor's healing is not inferior but on equal levels, meaning the risk of Sabretooth entering a flat-lined state was very likely, therefore Stryker would rather avoid risking a powerful soldier.
	+ **Limited Psionic Resistance** - Victor is vulnerable to Professor X's telepathic mind control, despite Sabretooth being immune to Silverfox's telepathic manipulation. This proves that he's only immune to physical telepathic manipulation, namely Kayla Silverfox's Tactile Hypnosis, rather than that an actual telepath's power of mind control. It could imply that Kayla Silverfox's mind control is biological manipulation rather psychic like Professor X or psychic potential is much greater as he implied he could make Wolverine believe he is a 6 year old girl.

* In the comics, Sabretooth and Wolverine aren't actually related. James's half-brother through Thomas Logan in the comics is named Dog Logan. It was long speculated that Dog and Victor were in fact the same person, due to similar appearance and character traits, it's been confirmed that they are in fact two different people. However, Romulus, another one of Wolverine's enemies suggested that the two share a common ancestor when he tested their blood for the Weapon X program, though nothing ever came of this.
