It Seems Like There’s Only One Evil Sabretooth in the Marvel Multiverse (And It’s Blowing Our Minds)

Sabretooth is a famously dangerous Marvel villain, and he’s consistently been a fan favorite. This popularity has led Marvel to explore different takes on the character, starting with the alternate reality storyline “The Age of Apocalypse” in 1995. In this version, Sabretooth was a hero with the X-Men, known for his close bond with the mutant Blink. This alternate Sabretooth became so popular he later appeared in the Exiles comic series. More recently, in 2025, Marvel introduced another version of Sabretooth as a kind and compassionate character in Ultimate Wolverine. This raises an interesting question: what makes the main version of Sabretooth (from the 616 universe) so villainous, while these other versions aren’t?
