Sabretooth (1993), also known as Death Hunt, is a four-issue mini-series published in 1993 by Marvel Comics, starring Wolverine's arch-foe, Victor Creed - more commonly known as Sabretooth. The series was written by Larry Hama who worked alongside colorist Steve Buccellato, with Mark Texeira providing pencils, inks, and cover art.The series follows Sabretooth as he is targeted by a strange man only known as Tribune. He is betrayed by his henchwoman, Birdy who has finally become fed up with his constant abuse. One night as he slept, she snuck downstairs to disable the security systems and let Tribune's men inside who successfully capture her boss, but not without trouble. Sabretooth is taken away to Tribune's lab where he is given a strength enhancement and has a bomb implanted in his chest. Tribune warns him of the time limit he's on and wants him to kill another renowned mutant, the shapeshifter known as Mystique.Victor accepts the contract and heads after Mystique. Along the way, Sabretooth finds out some very shocking secrets about his past from her and what connection this man, Tribune, has to both of them.

Like Father, Like Son: Graydon kills Birdy to spite Victor and drive him mad without her glow to soothe him. This earns Victor's respect who finally acknowledges Graydon as his "Darlin' baby boy."

Unpleasant Parent Reveal:: When a young Graydon sneaked away from the orphanage to spy on his mother, he discovers she's a blue mutant. Mystique teased him about his shocked reaction and reveals that she lied about his father being a bond trader, he was something much more sinister.

comment
All Love Is Unrequited: While they shared sexual relations for a few months in Germany, Mystique didn't feel as strongly about Creed as he did for her. While stuck in the safe-house, Mystique (as Zauber) complains they can't go sightseeing but Creed doesn't care since he has something to eat, drink, and her. He even trusted her with the painful memories of his mother. Nevertheless, she left him and faked her death to make it stick.

Shapeshifting Lover: Mystique as Leni Zauber, the woman Creed shacked up within Germany. Creed refused to believe it given how it'd make Mystique. She explains her power keeps her young & goes over their past together, admitting she left the real Zauber's body for everyone to find -faking her death to be done with him.

Abusive Parents: Victor's father kept him chained up with a muzzle on his face after Creed tried to bite him when he ripped out his fangs. A flashback shows he was going to murder young Creed but his wife got in the way whom he accidentally kills instead. Mystique dropped Graydon at an orphanage so he wouldn't cramp her plans, lost all interest when he turned out to be human, and mocked him when he discovered her true form.

Immortal Assassin: Sabretooth, who possesses a Healing Factor. When Mystique sets him on fire, all it does is make him angrier before he chases after her. Birdy ran him over with her car at one point, but that didn't stop him from coming after her.

Troubled Abuser: Sabretooth uses Birdy to give him "the glow" which soothes his rages and takes away his painful memories. When she befriends his child self in his mind, the real Victor wakes up and punches her in the face, saying he needs her to make him forget the pain. Before that, she gave him a massage and tells him to relax, which prompts him to throw her in the Jacuzzi for telling him what to do.
