Biography
Graydon Creed was the son of the Mutant Sabretooh and Mystique where he was born in the modern age on Earth. His parents had met in Germany when Mystique had taken the guise of a secret agent named Leni Zauber. Victor Creed was tasked with meeting the Germany agent in East Berlin where they were to assassinate a scientist in the city. In that time, they came to take shelter in a safehouse where the pair became lovers and slept together. Following the completion of the assignment, Mystique used the corpse of the real Leni Zauber to make her appear that she had died and disappeared leaving Creed to find the dead body on the streets. (Sabretooth v1 #3) Unknown to Victor Creed, Mystique pregnant and gave birth to Sabretooth's son who was born a human named Graydon Creed. Hiding her Mutant nature, she pretended to be human and raised her son claiming that his father was a bond trader. She came to send him to boarding school where one day he snuck away to follow his mother where he was shocked to find out she was a shapeshifting Mutant. This discovery led to Graydon feeling nothing but revulsion about learning about his parents where he came to hate all Mutants. (Sabretooth v1 #4)
In an effort to eliminate the Mutant threat, the restored Bastion gathered various humans that had been involved in anti-Mutant activities whether they were living or dead which included Graydon Creed. They were all restored somewhat to life through the Techno-Organic Virus that Bastion had recovered from a Technarchy offspring. (X-Force v3 #3) During the Second Coming, Bastion sought to eliminate the Mutant Messiah known as Hope Summers with Creed accompanying him. In the battle, Bastion decided in desperation to enter the fray and converted both Creed along with Lang's body that was turned into a Sentinel form to aid him. Despite their efforts, they were destroyed by the actions of the young Mutant girl who tapped into her powers to annihilate them. (X-Force v3 #28) In the afterlife, he seemingly fell into the hellish domain of the demon Marduk Kurios where he was put through a constant nightmare to torture him. During this time, an Inverted-Sabretooth arrived in that realm alongside his Weapon X-Force where his personality having been changed to become more heroic had him feel incredible guilt over abandoning his son. This saw him attempt to save Graydon who begged his father to put him out of his misery in hell but Victor could not do so and wanted to return his son into the living world. (Weapon X v3 #26) Sabretooth's mission to stop the resurrection of William Stryker succeeded but he was sent to Hell as a result and rather than return to Earth he traded places with Graydon so that his son could be restored to the world of the living. (Weapon X v3 #27)
