During a confrontation with Misty Knight, who was setting herself up as a decoy in hopes of luring the serial killer out into the open, many of Sabretooth's ribs were broken after receiving just one, one friggin' punch from Misty's cybernetic arm. These injuries took a period of several months to heal, about the same rate as it would take for an ordinary human. You overestimate Sabertooth, Fanboy.
again calling people fanboys on thisboard will attain you nothing noobie. plus it's just common decency notto say that about people esp. when they aren't. I don't even like sabretooth, I kinda hate the character for what he did to silverfox....and psylocke..among others. But he is an interesting villain, and has all those accomplishments to his list. Now sabretooth's ribbs are made out of adamantium so I really don't see where you're going with that cause spiderman ain't breaking nothin.
Any writer who would allow sabretooth over a month to heal anything prbably doesn't know much about the character and his abilities. but in relation to your exapmle, that was back in the day before sabes character had really developed and his powers were better established. Anyways, the only explination for that is the enrgy theory,,,,,,but for these fights the characters are at their best,,,,,he'll be well fed and rested for this fight his healing factor will cope with anything spidey throws at him. his healing factor even helped him to recover from a death like state after he had fought the x-men, fell off a cliff, and got shot by police repeatidly. what's spidey gonna do to him not that he's got adamantium bones huh?
Sabertooth sometimes makes Wolverine look smart so it can be a tough call from some points of view... With Spider-man it depends on the background because if you place him in an open field with no where to latch on, Sabertooth will change his diet to spider legs, on top of that Sabertooth is a villian so he could use people around him to claim victory. But taking away all the obsticles and placing them somewhere with buildings like New York, Spider-man's smarts is the only thing I can honestly think of that would make him the victor over Sabertooth. But I bet you give another smart guy a webshooter such as Beast it might be a different story.
well actually i think if spidey gets pissed off, he can do some major damage... but then again, wolverine's berserker rage is also pretty dangerous.. so if spidey gets pissed and wolvie/sabretooth keeps thier cool and guts spidey while trying to avoid the monstrous blows.. sabretooth/wolvie walks away leaving a bleeding and dying spiderman.. (considering spidey really loses his cool and fights rashly.. i havent read too many comics with that happening . so not too sure .. )
well this fight can go either way depending on a lot of things.. one being what i've mentioned above..
Wolverine was better hand to hand than sabretooth, that may be why he held up such a good fight against people stronger, faster, more agile, so on. Sabretooth makes up for not having as good hand to hand as wolverine by having a better healing factor, being stronger, and being more durable. (also hes fought wolverine a thousand times he knows how to fight the guy better than anyone else)
If spiderman fights the now sabretooth, the one that was recently enhanced by weapon x, and was given his adamantium back, sabretooth would kill spiderman. His healing factor is so advanced now its crazy. In return of the native he was stabbed in the the head by wolverines claws after being ran over by a S.U.V. 10 or so minutes he was fine.
Spiderman is fighting an uphill Battle this time. Oh and Fist of the north nice copy and pasting, i have that bio lol.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabretooth#Character_biography
you didnt give the whole story about his strength though.
i still revert to my straight forward scenario. no matter how fast spidey is he's not gonna come out this battle unscathed. not if, but when Creed sinks his huge man hands in spidey's flesh and leave a gaping wound the fact that he's hopping and skipping around, pumping all that adrenaline he'll bleed out b4 you could say "kem"
how many times have seen spidey get clipped by bullets from fleeing bank robbers/trigger happy police officers/government agents and by the time he gets to a safe place , or home to MJ he collapses in the middle of the floor. and wake up all bandaged up the next day wondering if the person who helped him found out his secret identity
i just read that bio and it pretty much contains everything that has been said on this thread. so that means that all the ardent spidey supporters have been copying and pasting the whole freaking time and not actually coming up with instances of thier own, or what THEY personally have seen in comics, making me think they were actually smart talking 'bout axial loads and shit....FOR SHAME, YOU BASTARDS!...FOR SHAME (turns back to them, and turns up nose) and some of you have the nerve to call ppl fanboys
coincidentally i was at the book store yesterday and i say a TPB collecting some of the older X-titles and that story was one of them. Creed showed up to the mansion, pylocke was running for her life, he pretty much walked thru all of them until wolverine showed up, then he fell off a cliff
Sabretooth is, just like Wolverine, a close-combat fighter. Spider-Man is more a long-range fighter, and can throw cars at him from a safe distance, or use a lamp-post to beat him into the ground lol.
And I ain't even talking about his web which can seriously trouble Sabretooth, to say the least. Or he can web him up, and drown him in the Hudson River.
Countless ways for Spider-Man to win. There's only ONE way however for Sabretooth to win: to come close enough to Spider-Man (difficult) and hit him where he feels it (even more difficult).
Not impossible, just difficult.

Having a temperary hostage could make spidey get up close to fight sabretooth. If you were spidey and you were keeping it safe throwing cars and crap, sabretooth gets tired of it and graps someone out of a store thats hiding or somthing. What would you do, how could you save that persons life?
Either way, if spidey is fighting the current sabretooth, he doesnt have much of a chance. The webbing if on his face he'll just rip it off and regenerate. I would say endurace would have a part in this fight, but it wont. This fight shouldnt drag out, it should be fairly quick.
either sabretooth wins or spiderman limps away thx to someone helping him.

Sabretooth isn't the Hulk. When Spider-Man knocks him down with some heavy stuff, he WILL certainly feel it. When SM repeats that same scenario a few times, Sabretooth will hit the ground, and will - 10 minutes later - be waking up hanging upside down on a lamp-post all covered in web.

If that's the case please explain to me what happened when Sabretooth tried to claw spidey in this issue...
