Summary

In Episode 70 of CEREBRO, Connor and celebrated author Victor LaValle catalogue the crimes of Victor Creed, the sickening Sabretooth! As Wolverine's longest-running arch-nemesis, serial killer Sabretooth has been a major part of the X-Men franchise. But with no place for him in the new mutant society of Krakoa, he's been absent from the current era... until now, in LaValle's critically-acclaimed new Sabretooth miniseries.

The CEREBRO character file on Sabretooth begins at 52:01.

(Content Advisory: Victor's story includes sexual violence, child abuse, domestic violence, genocide, racism, violence against sex workers, torture, brainwashing, and other potentially distressing topics.)
