Let's see how much of a Sabretooth Fan you are! Here are One Dozen Sabretooth Facts!
1. Sabretooth was originally a mutant villain created by Chris Claremont during his time writing "Iron Fist". When Iron Fist and Power Man were given a duo book, Sabretooth would return with a villain named The Constrictor as their respective arch-enemies. Sabretooth would later be pulled into Claremont's "X-Men" title.
2. Claremont had planned on Sabretooth being the father of Wolverine, which is why the two had a deep connection. However, this idea was scrapped. Additionally, in the 2005 series "Wolverine: Origin" it was revealed Wolverine had an older half-brother as a child named Dog. While similarities were made, it was revealed Sabretooth and Dog are not the same person. The only instance of Sabretooth and Wolverine being related was in the film, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" where they are brothers. The current canon is that the two worked side-by-side on Weapon X.
3. Sabretooth is the only person who knows when Wolverine's birthday is. On that day, every year, Sabretooth will find Logan wherever he is and beat him nearly to death. He does this just to remind Logan he can.
4. Sabretooth once hired a telepathic mutant named Birdy to keep himself in check. Sabretooth had been suffering from unstable blood-lusts and asked Birdy to fill his mind with happy memories to block his savage tendencies. This allowed him to be a much more intelligent villain. In the arcade game "Marvel Vs Capcom 2" Sabretooth's winning animation shows him with Birdy.
5. These bouts of brutality are revealed to be triggered by memories of killing his own wife and a small child by the order of the CIA. Sabretooth also remembers every person he's ever killed. Once Professor X discovers this he begins to understand Sabretooth's hidden value for human life.
6. For a brief period, Sabretooth also had Adamantium bones. However, the villain Apocalypse had made Wolverine and Sabretooth fight for the right to be one of his Horsemen. Sabretooth lost the fight and his Adamantium was given to Wolverine-who had lost the portion inside his body at that time.
7. Sabretooth has had three children. All of whom have tried to kill him.
8. Along with Wolverine, The X-Men, Iron Fist, and The Heroes for Hire, Sabretooth has also come to serious blows with Spider-Man, Black Cat, and Black Panther.
9. Sabretooth was once Satan's personal attack dog while he was in Hell.
10. After the event "AXIS", Sabretooth's morality had been inverted by the battle between Scarlet Witch and The Red Skull. As a result, Sabretooth has sworn to do good and honor Wolverine's memory.
11. In the alternate reality of "Age of Apocalypse", Sabretooth/Victor Creed is a role model and teacher to young mutants. He teaches them ethics and is good friends with Wolverine. He also adopted a young mutant named Blink, is hinted to be the father of Nightcrawler, and joined a reality-hopping team called The Exiles.
12. In the film "X-Men" Sabretooth is played by Tyler Mane. Mane had been a professional wrestler for about ten years, competing in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and The Universal Wrestling Federation (UWF). Under the name "Big Sky" he became the only UWF MGM Grand Champion.
