Haven't read a Sabertooth comic in years, but one of the first comics I ever read - period - was a 90s X-Men issue with him being held captive in the X-Mansion, with the team trying to reform him while he played mind games with them and was basically a feral animal. Was legitimately scary as an antagonist at that time. I probably wouldn't like seeing him today.

In the Weapon X series?
I'm not saying he [the current incarnation] doesn't have any feats... he even got props from High Evolutionary and his scientist for his healing factor and senses... and even with all that junk jammed inside him, he managed to beat bloodlusted Nightcrawler. The list goes on.
Still, trying to make him a tame puppy is a bad decision and has never worked for Marvel in the long run, excluding the AoA example you mentioned, of course. But alternate universes are supposed to be different in the first place.

Jesus, really?
Is that the one with Psylocke? Because if so....that was my first as well.
Originally posted by StiltmanFTW👆 I completely understand what you're saying. He should be closer to an anti-hero if they're going to make him a good guy. He should be that one guy in the room that kills bad guys but still knows when not to kill. That's honestly what I liked about AoA Creed so much; he could and did kill people that deserved it, but at the end of the day, he was still fighting for a brighter future.

I think so. Jean's prominent in it, and Creed does everything possible to get under her skin. And Jubilee feeds him a raw steak or something. I was creeped out at the time; it felt like he might actually butcher them. Good stuff.
That issue is one of two that could have been my first ever. The other was ASM #370 (1992 maybe?) where he fights Scorpion alongside Black Cat, both of whom had just been upgraded by the Tinkerer. But of the two, I'm not sure which I read first.

That wasn't my first comic ever, but it was the first one I owned that had Victor in it. My favorite part was when Jean was slamming him around and said something like "You're a firecracker Creed. I am an atom bomb".
My first comic ever was X-Men 9 where they were fighting a Brood possessed Ghost Rider.

that was my first comics with sabretooth as well. its sabretooth in the red zone where he escapes the xmen and hurts archangel badly slashing his wings. my favorite part of the comics is his fight vs beast in the train.

What can I say... Infinity War kicked off and absolutely blew my mind and Warlock became my favorite character and through him I I got drawn into Marvel's cosmic scene lol

There was a clear divide in that day, and the cosmic side was pretty excellent, despite not bringing in nearly the same money. I think that changed after Annihilation, which was the last time there was an explicit divide (it was running concurrently with Civil War iirc).

Originally posted by DigiAh I seriously miss those times. Marvel and DC events were good at least back then. 👇
