Profile

'Slasher', 'El Tigre', 'Der Schlächter'... Many names, uttered in the shadows, tell the tale of one man whose ruthless violence turned him into a legend on the battlefield - Victor Creed. He has worn many hats in his life: lawman, professional soldier, underworld crime-figure, CIA black ops assassin and, most recently, a follower of the proclaimed 'Saviour of Mutantkind'. Leaving a bloody trail through history, his primary motivation has always been finding an outlet for his primal urges. Whatever the job, whoever signs the paycheque; as long as Victor Creed gets his claws wet with blood at the end of it, he's willing to consider any offers. Though he formally holds citizenship on Genosha, Victor's status within the mercenary community means that he frequently travel. His 'career' takes him to conflict zones and hot-spots in order to ply his trade in wartime, and the slums and backalleys of the more 'civilized' world. One of the most skilled operators to come out of the U.S. military. A hunter in the night. A beast, unfettered by morals and only chained by the desire to remain out of SHIELD custody (or worse). A man, who willingly became an animal. Sabretooth.

ACUTE SENSES

Sabretooth's senses of hearing, sight, taste, and smell are all at superhuman levels. His sene of smell is particularly advanced, allowing him to identify individuals by their unique scent years after he first met them and track targets from miles away. His cat-like eyes help him see in low-light environments, and his vision is better than 20/10. He can identify an impressive array of objects, substances, and chemical compounds by tasting the residue left behind. So sharp as his taste buds that he can even tell the difference in types of amunition by licking the inside of the expended casing. His hearing is advanced enough that he's able to detect nearly-silent footfalls behind him, or tell when a victim's heart is starting to beat faster.

ADAMANTIUM SKELETON

Recently, Sabretooth has gone back to Weapon X in order to finally get his heart's fondest desire: a dip in a bathtub while someone injected his body with molten steel. Fortunately, pain don't hurt.

Sabretooth's entire skeletal structure has been coated with unbreakable Adamantium Steel. This makes him a bit heavier and is generally uncomfortable 24/7, but at least it removes the advantage that the Other Guy has been lording over him for years.

AGILITY

Sabretooth possesses the agility of a jungle cat, and is able to move much more swiftly and gracefully than a man of his size has any right to. He's able to rip off soldiers' arms before they can pull a trigger, or chase a fleeing victim like they were standing still. He can even run on all fours like a tiger, increasing his movement speed while making him even tougher to shoot.

ANIMAL EMPATHY

Sabretooth would be much happier living in the wild with animals. Long contact has enabled him to develop an affinity with wildlife that enables him to pass as just another beast. He's especially fond of the big cats, and he's one of the few people living who'd be able to walk with a tiger or amongst a pride of lions without risk of being mauled. They seem him as another predator, not as a potential meal.

CLAWS

Each of Sabretooth's fingers end with a large, partially-retractable claw. Normally, they're about two inches long, but can be extended to about three. Now that they've been laced with Adamantium, the claws are extremely sharp and virtually unbreakable. Combine that with Sabretooth's massive strength, and he can easily shred just about anything in a few seconds. Only other exotic metals like Vibranium, Uru, and Promethium are immune to Sabretooth's claws, but other dense metals like osmium can prove too tough for him to easily tear into with his relatively short claws.

ENHANCED STRENGTH

He was already a beast, but reinforcing Sabretooth's bones with Adamantium has helped him withstand even greater amounts of weight. He is now capable of lifting nearly ten tons, or putting that proportional amount of force behind each swipe of his claws.

FANGS

Sabretooth's teeth are similarly laced with Adamantium. It keeps his teeth from getting knocked out and keeps him from needing to brush, but most importantly it makes it even easier for him to rip out an opponents throat with his fangs.

POUNCE

Like his namesake, Sabretooth is able to pounce on his prey and incapacitate them almost instantly. Unlike his namesake, he's able to leap roughly half the length of a basketball court. If only he'd joined the NBA instead of becoming a hitman.

RAGE

Unlike some people, Sabretooth doesn't see any harm in getting mad once in awhile. In fact, he embraces it. Sabretooth has found that using his anger correctly makes him almost unstoppable, and it makes him feel like a demigod. When he's faced with a hopeless situation, when someone is trying to tamper with his mind, or when he's not doing well in a fight, all Sabretooth has to do is get mad and his mind is clear and focused. Of course, he tends to 'focus' only on ripping out throats when he's good and mad, but everyone needs to set realistic goals for themselves, right?

REGENERATION

Sabretooth's healing abilities are somewhat reduced due to the presence of a hundred pounds of steel in his body. However, he's still able to regenerate damaged tissue at a vastly accelerated rate. Surface damage heals within seconds. Minor wounds, like a stab or gunshot, heal within a matter of seconds or minutes. Multiple stabs/gunshots can heal within an hour. He can even come back from having his entire body burned, or huge chunks of his abdomen (and the accompanying organs) ripped out. This can take awhile, however.

His healing abilities make him practically immune to all but a few extremely exotic poisons and intoxicants. That doesn't mean he's going to stop drinking beer, it just means that it doesn't really make him drunk. Interestingly, it also repairs damage to his muscles and eliminates fatigue poisons far more efficiently. This allows him to operate at peak efficiency for hours, which helps explain why his workout routines are so effective.

Skills

CQC

Anyone who has ever gone up against Sabretooth knows that he's a vicious, relentless hand to hand fighter. Over the past century he's evolved from a tavern brawler to a highly inventive close-quarters combat master. His recent stint at Weapon X has sharpened his skills a bit and made him work on his form, but he's never really been one for 'practice.' Instead, he keeps improving his skills by killing someone almost every single day.

SOLDIER

Back when Sabretooth first joined up with an army, they still stood in rows and fired at each other across an open field. So he's had to evolve with the times, changing up his tactics each decade. Sabretooth could easily fall in with a team of modern special operatives and outperform most of them. In a way, he's become institutionalized as paramilitary outfits are the only social structures that really make any sense to him. He understands the rules and the culture, and is able to thrive there. More importantly, he's able to give and receive orders, understand the mission parameters, and achieve the objective in a tactically sound manner.

These days, a lot of the old rules are being thrown out of the window. Between drone strikes and superpowered opponents, an operator like Sabretooth has to be more creative than ever before. So far, he's managing just fine.

STEALTH

As a master tracker, Sabretooth knows exactly how to thwart any attempts to track or detect him. When he wants to, he can move undetected through dense foliage or through a guarded facility. Or even when climbing on vertical surfaces or ceilings.

TRACKING

When Sabretooth feels like relaxing, he often goes out into the wilderness and lives there. He's been doing this off and on for more than a hundred years.

Sabretooth is a master tracker, able to find and follow his prey even in the densest jungles. Humans are far easier to track than the animals that Sabretooth usually tries to catch. Humans are noisy, messy and smelly, and they tend to leave all sorts of clues behind.

Even when he's not in the wilderness, Sabretooth is still able to track targets using various clues and his sense of smell in conjunction. The simple uptake is that nobody's able to get away from Sabretooth if he's looking for them, no matter where they are.

Well, maybe if they went to space. Or the ocean or something. But nowhere else.

VEHICLES

At this point in his life, Sabretooth has probably logged more hours behind the wheel of a car than most Indycar drivers, more hours behind the controls of a helicopter than most Army pilots, and more hours in the cockpit of a jet than most Thunderbirds. But just because he 'can' operate these vehicles doesn't mean he's going to volunteer to do so. He prefers to sit in the back and drink.

WEAPONS

Yes, it's more fun killing a man with your bare hands. However, Sabretooth has been trained to use just about every other instrument of death commonly used by men. When he first started fighting, the Springfield 1861 was the weapon of choice for many servicemen. Sabretooth has had to evolve with the times, moving from Bowie knives and revolvers to Ka-Bars MP5s. Along the way, he's had to pick up and use many more esoteric designs, but he generally prefers to avoid using anything too weird.

Is there really any point to learning how to use a sword or a throwing star? Honestly...

BROTHERHOOD

For years now, Sabretooth has been a card carrying member of the Brotherhood. If he were bit better suited to leadership roles he might be one of the top-ranking members of the group. However, his unique skillset and temperament have led him to become more of a special operative who tends to get called upon only for certain types of missions.

GENOSHA

His service during the Genoshan Civil War has resulted in Sabretooth having official citizenship on the island of Genosha. This is only moderately useful, since he tends to travel through illegal channels or under assumed names. But it's nice having a country that will allow him to claim it, since none of the other countries want him.

MADRIPOOR

Although his official citizenship is on Genosha, Sabretooth does a lot of his shady dealings on Madripoor. He owns several business interests there, which serve as his main sources of stable income and wealth storage.

REPUTATION

Over the last few decades, Sabretooth has built up a solid reputation as one of the most vicious and effective mercenaries that can be bought. There seems to be practically nothing that he won't do for a price, but he virtually never accepts a better offer after the deal has been closed. That may not be much of a code of honor, but it's enough in most of the circles that Sabretooth swims in.

SMUGGLING

One of Sabretooth's more lucrative operations doesn't involve him doing much, if any, actual killing. Instead, he tends to make quite a bit smuggling various goods into economically distressed areas like Genosha. Sabretooth is uniquely suited to getting goods past the international sanctions that tend to be imposed on smaller countries, and he makes a (virtual) killing doing it.

Weaknesses

ExpandClick to expand.

ADAMANTIUM POISONING

One of the drawbacks of having your bones laced with Adamantium steel is the reduction in healing ability. Not only does the metal physically interfere with some of the body's healing processes, but it also causes toxic byproducts to build up in the body. This 'Adamantium poisoning' reduces Sabretooth's healing abilities to the point that accumulated wounds (like gunshots) can require hours to heal rather than minutes. But although it doesn't make a 'huge' difference to the way his abilities operate, it could prove lethal if his healing abilities were ever knocked out, even for a relatively brief period of time.

METALLIC

It's really tough for Sabretooth to get through airport security these days. Fortunately, he's not much for 'legal' transport options. However, it makes him easier to detect in a crowd of people, as his skeleton tends to show up a starkly different color than everyone elses' on infrared scanners. His metal skeleton also carries with it certain vulnerabilities to magnetism.

REPUTATION

For some customers, Sabretooth's reputation is a definite selling point. But for most people, the kind of track record that Sabretooth has is a definite turn-off. Only the worst criminals tend to purchase Creed's loyalty. Or people who hate someone bad enough that they want to see them mauled to death and possibly eaten. Funnily enough, this doesn't seem to keep Uncle Sam from hiring Creed on a fairly regular basis...

SENSES

It might not seem like a 'weakness' to have heightened senses, but it can be if the right tactics are deployed. Sabretooth's senses can be overloaded, usually by extremely loud noises or blinding lights. These types of attacks tend to be even more effective against him than they are against normal humans.

WANTED

Sabretooth has been leaving a bloody trail of carnage across the planet for about a century. He's officially wanted in almost every country on the planet (Genosha and Madripoor being notable exceptions...). When travelling to other countries, he has to use a fake identity or deal with annoying SWAT teams.

WATER

Contrary to stereotype, Sabretooth doesn't mind water. But since adding about a hundred pounds of metal to his body, he really isn't much of a swimmer. This is a problem, because drowning is one of the surefire ways of rendering Sabretooth unconscious and/or dead. So these days, he stays out of the deep end...

WEIGHT

Sabretooth is a big, heavy guy. There aren't many people capable of pulling his wounded body off of a battlefield. There's also a much higher chance of objects (like furniture or floors) giving out when his full weight is applied to them, limiting his options for pursuit when a lighter target manages to find an escape route.
