The Murderer's Creed: Sabretooth Appreciation

[Zomling]

Tyler Mane should still be playing Sabretooth in X-Men Origins Wolverine.

Got to admit, he looks the part more than Schreiber. Whether he can act is debatable though.

This was a funny little tidbit to come out of ECCC:

Fraction then relayed a story of how he was asked to pitch a Sabretooth story that would help elevate the character to the A-list of villains. The writer took the idea to heart and pitched an idea where Sabretooth hired a “shitbag, sleazeball” P.R. agent to help elevate his status. The agent would suggest things like, “Go kill a bus full of kids.” The audience roared as Fraction relayed other scenarios that could play out with this.

Not that 'Tooth would ever need to hire an agent to think up ideas like that, but it's good to know that Marvel were at least planning a big Sabretooth story... before Loeb of course.

anyone else thought sabretooths voice in XmenTAS was just creepy...he really sounded like a serial killer

[mgs]

I don't have a scan of it yet (looking in my collection for the comic), but I thought the idea for a non-feral Sabretooth was best depicted in Ultimate X-Men.

* Is proven to have a tinier kronk than Wolverine, based on the "urinal scene" from Grant Morrison's "Assault on Weapon Plus" storyline in New X-Men. This is especially relevant.

And THAT is the real reason he hates Wolverine so much! No deep psychological back story. Just plain old penis envy.

[Zomling]

Great news for Sabretooth fans, he's back in X Men Forever #2.

While this isn't in continuity as far as I can tell, it's great 90s Sabretooth. Sadly it doesn't look like there will be a rematch with the Canucklehead as:

spoilers:

It appears that Logan is dead, having been burned down to his skeleton without a molecule of flesh remaining.

end of spoilers

Let's hope you're right and that Creed returns soon. I also hope he turns out to be the other Hudson child and is Logan's cousin (or whatever family connection that makes him).

He's not. Well, it's very unlikely anyway. The blind guy torturing Daken in WOLVERINE: ORIGINS #15 is probably Victor Hudson.

Victor Hudson is the lumpy headed guy that lures Wolverine to Omega Red in Origins latest issue. I like this new guy.

I'd rather they just went with the clone thing because it was so out there crazy that I'd enjoy it.

I picture the original sitting in an immaculate apartment, surrounded by photographs of many of the people he's killed while he listens to Zarah Leander.

Sabretooth will be back. Logan has a real bad habit of leaving people for dead only to return later. He should have burned Creed's head. Besides with Sinister, Romulus and Apocalypse around he'll be back.

I appreciate the way Tim Seeley drew Sabretooth in Weapon X: First Class #1. Seeley's the guy who did Hack/Slash, a book about the last surviving girl from a horror film hunting the slashers from all the other ones. He made Creed look like a horror character, which is as it should be, I feel.

I like your thinking.

[Grimlock]

does anyone know if there are any plans for a sabretooth return ?

[starrs0]

I hear he's going to be in the upcoming wolverine arc where Logan goes to Hell I just hope it isn't to show them have a another knock down drag out and that's it. I'd like to see Sabretooth due to being sugjected to the horrors of the Inferno make up with wolverine and somehow get back in amongst the living how cool would it be to them fighting together side by side as allies.

[Zomling]

Sounds good, he also had a brief cameo in Wolverine:Origins #49. Probably only a Weapon X dream though.

If the cover to Wolverine #3 is anything to go by Creed is having a "Hellbound" moment complete with hooked chains.

In this thread, sorry don't know how to post images.
