Description

" Not here to kill you. Far as I'm concerned, you can stay just like this. But I'm gonna make you a promise. You ever find anything--anybody make life worth living again-- I'll be there. This man drinks is on me. As much as he wants ..."

" Lemme get this straight...I mess with the head o' the world's greatest telepath...I use an' abuse a junior X-Man...I massage Braddock's innards with my claws...an' still you dweebs think I'm some kinda reclamation project. Heh. Who's in denial, McCoy?"

" I've been ready to die since before you was born!"

" It'll take more than that to stop me, little piggies... shall I prove it? Shall I huff and puff and blow your house down?"

" A long ways from the big easy, Remy. And since when you workin' the side of the angels? Or did I just blow yer latest scam?"

" First I'm gonna start with that uppity Jean Grey. Then I'll mosey on to Canada for Heather Hudson. But I won't really be enjoying myself until I get to the young ones like Kitty Pryde and Jubilee..."

"Hey, look around you, pal. You see how the world works? If there's a God, he looks like me."

You know , I find it sad that people only associate Victor as Logan's nemesis and that's it ... they don't know who Creed is , nor do they acknowledge his development .
People with comics blogs seem to only only focus on the Sabretooth of the early days, BUT that'd be like me praising only Liefield's Cable (while that's honestly nothing more but a prototype , the real Cable's birth was in "Blood and metal" by Fab Nicieza) .
And it’s funny that practically most prototypes were minor “failures”, from Cable to Sabretooth to Gambit to even Wolverine (you can’t really disagree about the Claremont Sabretooth or the early Pre-Logan Wolverine . If you do , then you’re not really a Sabretooth fan? haha :D )
Remember kids , not all first drawn characters always work out and that’s why evolution or character expansion is unavoidable. Hell, even the cartoon versions (I’ll admit, you can't have him go Mortal Kombat in those , but as I said , better to see the glass half full ) had a more mature Victor Creed than the Claremont "Mutant Massacre " version (to be honest , that story to me was a mere appetizer for things to come ) . He's the ultimate killer for hire and immoral bastard . He’s (and I absolutely insist here !) an amagalm of semi-Lecter / semi-Krueger persona and he doesn’t need to be just a marauder or just Logan's enemy, he is much more than that .
Claremont & Byrne gave birth to him, then Larry Hama (who gave him the name Victor Creed), Lobdell & Nicieza advanced him by giving him his most nightmarish aspects (those of a manipulator ) AND THEN Tieri, Jolley and Rucka PERFECTED HIM. So I based him on those , as well as this [link] ... good idea , eh ?

The ones I like best are the one in the mask and the one with burning flesh right beneath it! Very freaky! And the one clawing through the page!

....my first thought at the one in the bottom right hand corner was 'BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY BUTT SHOT!'
