Who is Sabretooth?

Origin Sabretooth - Feral and Ferocious! Sabretooth's memories have been tampered with by clandestine organizations such as Weapon X , and so much of what appears to be his past is not of credible account. His strongest and earliest memories involve being cruelly abused on numerous occasions by his father while being tied up in his parents' basement. Another memory of Victor's childhood was when his mutation first manifested, he killed his pediatrician at age 9 (Uncanny X-Men 1st series #326). Another memory involves Wolverine, whom at the time lived in a small community of Blackfoot Indians and settlers. One day, Sabretooth tracked him down in Canada, and he raped and seemingly murdered his lover, Silver Fox on Logan's birthday. This resulted in the first of many battles between the two, with Sabretooth savagely beating Logan. Creed eventually adopted a tradition of tracking Logan down on his birthday with the intention of fighting him. Eventually emerging as a costumed villain, Sabretooth became partners with the Constrictor and the two acted as enforcers for major criminal interests.
