More durable, but with his crazy ass healing factor?Into the Red Zone.
sabretooth has intimate knowledge of cyclops?
his healing factor wont work if his organs are being liquified faster than they can heal... 😬
into the red zone? got an issue number?
Didn't say infinate. I said intimate. Unlike many foes that Cyclops goes rounds with Sabretooth has had the pleasure/displeasure of being on Cylcops' team, see how he works in the danger room.
I imagine that'd give him at least SOME edge that most opponents don't have over Cyclops.
He's got a durability level that can take Herc class punches without Adamantium, Muscle sinew like steel cable too hard for Warbird to apply pressure points.
I highly doubt that he'd be more effected than Wolverine who's been blasted full on by Cyclops about half a dozen times. Especially given that he stood up seconds after impact being dropped from space without adamantium.
That's what it's called it's a one shot that follows the events of what happened with Sabretooth after he broke out of the mansion and down Psylocke.
On another note, enhanced supermen had cyclops' powers and it took multiple shots from them to put Sabretooth down on top of class 90 punches and superspeed. Them being plural.

they werent cyclops, though... 😬
The narrow focus beam through the superior orbital fissure. He can punch the eye out of a dime that was tossed into the air, and has pulled a hell of a stunt in murder world tagging multiple moving objects by ricocheting a beam...
I think be pinning down and keeping a portion of the brain destroyed, possibly with ricochet inside the skull to destroy more of it long enough could count as a win for cyclops.

Several times, during the first big Brood arc, during a fight in Classic X-Men, and during his stint as Death.

Dude, I always read your posts no matter how long they are since you're not only eloquent but also know a lot. Seriously, stop using that example, as it reeks of hypocrisy. Whenever someone mentions a one-shot to wolverine, you mention context and how he had already had his HF taxed and whatnot, but you always use this argument in sabertooth fights although you know full well that Warbird was having trouble adjusting to her powers and had just been hit by a train. Seriously...if you're gonna tell others to not ignore context, don't ignore it yourself 😬

It very well might, but it certainly didn't seem that way in Into the Red Zone.
i need to read it, though that was a long time ago...

cyclops did not hit logan with an onslaught stopping, forest levelling blast, not once...
They had his powers. Wouldn't that be at least SOME empirical evidence here?
not really, if they arent nearly as skilled as he is, and then there's the fact that bar amazo, in comics enemies usually suck when they have a hero's power...
Originally posted by jinzinWhen he was death he had an energy absorbing thing that just lapped up all the energy that was thrown at him. That celestial tech that Apoc has helps characters like war hulk and the like..

Having someone's powers doesn't mean that you're as skilled as that person.

I fail to see how Warbird still finding the limits of her powers correlates to her attackes on Sabretooth having no relivence to anything. Especially 25 issues into her own series. At any rate:
She flat out stated that his sinew was too durable to use a nerve pinch. She didn't say anything along the lines of "If I was fresher I would/could use a nerve pinch" or "If only I knew more about my powers I could use a nerve pinch". She stated for a fact that his muscles were like steel cables and that a nerve pinch attempt would be useless.
And all I was commenting on was that simple fact.
Furthermore onto the fight itself, which is what I gather you're having the problem with. Yes she was hit by a train, and yet Sabretooth had been in a car wreck that dismantled an armored car, he was knocked into an electric rail that fried his ass. When they got into their slugfest neither was at the top of their game, yet it's still an impressive showing of Sabretooth's stamina/HF as it simply held out longer than Warbird could keep up. When she mounted him she stated that any one of her punches could have pulverized a normal person and that it took an assload just to knock him down.
When I use that example, it's an example of his stamina in combat, the example stands.
An example of his durability, the example stands.
And finally an example of his ability to give trouble to people who far exeed him in strength. Now this is arguable and to that I agree. But it isn't as if there's loads of evidence that contradict this.
I mean on the other hand here we have Rogue, a mirror image of Warbirds powers at their peak at work. Sabretooth was powerful/skillful enough to rend her unconscious. His durability has been enough to take being punched out a high rise building the length of a park by Rogue only to get up and go after Wolverine. It's been enough to simply shrugg off having his head embedded into a brick wall and hammered by several follow ups from a very pissed off Rogue with a threat and a smile.
The Warbird example isn't necessarily contradicted by other examples.
And it certainly doesn't fail to prove what I'm saying here, that his musculature is extremely durable/strong.

In terms of skill, Cyclops already failed against Sabretooth. 😐
Originally posted by CreshoskAgain the reference wasn't to skill, but to his stopping power.

And WHAT? When/where was that EVER stated?
It wasn't.
Cyclops also blasted him while he was hounding the X-Men and it knocked him through a loop, his ability to walk through Cyks blast was due to his knowledge of Cyk, not some magical armor that was never mentioned, or referenced. 😕

what the hell does muscle density have to do with the feasibility of a nerve pinch?
nerves are on your skin, not beneath your muscles. Your muscles can be steel hard and you'd still feel a nerve attack.
Originally posted by jinzinSo was everyone else, including Jean, CAble and Nate Grey. I suspect he had celestial tech that absorbed these attacks. Yes, Jubilees destroyed it by attacking his armor with her mild matter manip attack of detonating the matter it was made of. But him wading through Jean, cable and Nate's attacks makes me suspect there was something else involved such as celestial tech
In the Classic X-Men example Wolverine says something along the lines of "their hitting me with everything they got".
In the Brood example, Cyclops had no visor his eyes were enlarged (brood size) and he had no control over the blast, he necessarily couldn't have been holding back.
Cyclops was hitting him with everything he had during the death scenario.
Originally posted by jinzinSabertooth isn't a DBZ character that can go for extended periods of time faster than the eye can see, he may be able to move in bursts, but when Cyclops's attack is literally, "I look at you and you're tagged," I doubt that such an occurrence is feasible.
