Territory

The door wasn’t locked.

Victor didn’t even knock.

He’d just returned from a mission, blood still crusted under his nails, his muscles aching with the kind of satisfaction only a good kill could bring. He figured he’d crash in Logan’s quarters for a drink, maybe throw some insults his way, see if he could start a fight—typical brotherly bonding.

What he didn’t expect was to walk into the scene before him.

Logan.

Naked.

Pinning Wade fucking Wilson.

For the first time in his long, bloodstained life, Victor actually stopped in his tracks.

The scent hit him first—sex, sweat, possessiveness, and something deeper—something animal. Logan’s eyes snapped up to meet his, unflinching, unashamed. If anything, his brother looked ready to fight, his lips curling over his teeth, body tense despite the clear evidence that he had been very, very busy a moment ago.

Wade, on the other hand? The bastard actually waved.

“Oh hey, Vic! How’s it hanging? Wait, don’t answer that—I can already see that you’re very interested in what’s happening here.”

Victor blinked, processing, feeling something twist deep in his gut. Annoyance? Amusement? Something else?

He wasn’t angry. At least, not yet.

"Well," Victor drawled, slowly stepping into the room, closing the door behind him, "this is a sight."

Logan didn’t move. Didn’t blink. But his growl deepened.

“Mine.”

That one word hit hard. A warning. A declaration. Victor felt something inside him stir.

Oh?

His lips curled into a slow, sharp grin.

"Oh, Jimmy," he murmured, his voice low and taunting, blue eyes glinting. "I don’t think you get to make claims here, little brother."

Logan’s claws slid out, glinting in the dim light. His whole body tensed, muscles coiled and ready to lunge.

Wade—who was still very much straddled by Logan, because of course he was—looked between them and clapped his hands. “Oh man, this is getting good! Love a little territorial dispute! Should I get some popcorn or...”

"Shut up, Wade," Logan and Victor snarled in unison.

Wade huffed, crossing his arms. "God, you boys have zero appreciation for good commentary."

Victor ignored him. His focus was locked on Logan—the way he held his ground, unyielding, unwavering. Logan always fought against his nature, against his instincts, but right now?

He was all animal. Victor liked it.

"Looks like you need a reminder of your place, Jimmy," Victor said slowly, taking another step forward, shoulders rolling loose, claws extending, fangs flashing.

Logan bared his own teeth. "Try me."

Wade, still very much under Logan, perked up.

"Okay, so—just to clarify," Wade said, completely unfazed, "is this where you guys fight to the death, or is this where I get sandwiched between two primal apex predators and end up unable to walk for a week? Because I am very open-minded here."

Neither brother acknowledged him.

Victor lunged. Logan met him halfway.

The room shook.

When the dust settled, everything was broken.

The bed was splintered into pieces. The walls had claw marks deep enough to be permanent scars.

Wade was cackling in a heap on the floor, bruised but grinning ear to ear, because of course he enjoyed the chaos.

And Logan?

Still growling, still mine-mine-mine, but now half-sprawled across Victor, teeth inches from his throat. Victor lay beneath him, grinning, bloodied but pleased. His chest rose and fell, his claws flexing against the ruined floor. He tilted his head, staring at Logan like he was something fascinating, something to be pushed further.

For a long moment, neither moved. Then Victor licked blood off his teeth and purred, low and dangerous.

"Not bad, Jimmy. Almost convinced me."

Logan snarled. "I ain't sharing."

Victor smirked. "Shame. I was startin’ to get ideas."

Logan pressed down harder, his breath ragged. "Try it, and I’ll put you down for good."

Victor laughed, deep, rumbling.

Wade, from the floor: "Hey, I think I might be the real winner here. That was hot as hell."

Logan finally let go, shoving himself off Victor, standing. His chest heaved, his hands shaking with leftover adrenaline.

Victor sat up, still grinning, still watching him.

"Enjoy your toy, little brother," he murmured, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. "But don’t get too comfortable."

Then, with one last knowing look, Victor left.

And Logan hated that some part of him already knew Victor would be back.

#your characterisations are always spot on i can see them actually having petty fights in front of me hahah

Liev Schreiber’s Sabretooth: The Perfect Victor Creed

Liev Schreiber’s portrayal of Victor Creed (Sabretooth) in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) is widely regarded as superior to Tyler Mane’s earlier version in X-Men (2000). Schreiber brought a nuanced mix of intelligence, menace, and depth to Sabretooth, elevating the character beyond the one-note brute seen in 2000. His extensive classical acting background enabled him to craft a complex villain true to the comics, making a compelling case that Liev Schreiber is the perfect actor for Sabretooth. Below, i examine Schreiber’s qualifications and performance in detail, and contrast it with Tyler Mane’s portrayal to understand why Schreiber’s Sabretooth stands head and shoulders above.

Liev Schreiber’s Classical Acting Background

Liev Schreiber is not a typical action movie actor – he’s a classically trained thespian with serious theater credentials. He earned a master’s degree from the Yale School of Drama and even studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. On stage, Schreiber has tackled Shakespearean roles like Hamlet and Henry V to great acclaim. In fact, The New York Times called his performance in Cymbeline “revelatory,” pleading for “More Shakespeare, Mr. Schreiber”. He was soon starring in a Public Theater production of Hamlet (1999) and as the titular Henry V (2003), where critic John Lahr praised Schreiber’s “swiftness of mind” in delivering Shakespeare’s language, noting that his speech “feels lived rather than learned”. Such classical training honed Schreiber’s ability to portray complex characters with gravitas and emotional truth. It’s no surprise that he’s been called “one of the best classical actors of his generation,” a pedigree he brought with him to the role of Sabretooth.

This background meant Schreiber approached Victor Creed not as a flat cartoon villain, but as a layered character with motivations and psychology. His theater experience playing nuanced, often conflicted figures gave him the tools to find the humanity (and inhumanity) in Sabretooth. Whether voicing Shakespeare’s eloquence or Sabretooth’s snarls, Schreiber has a knack for imbuing lines with intent and subtext. In short, he had the chops to elevate Sabretooth from a mere henchman to a truly memorable antagonist.

Schreiber’s Performance as Victor Creed in X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Sabretooth (Victor Creed) in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009). Schreiber’s portrayal gave the character a cunning intelligence and brooding menace previously unseen in the films. He transformed himself physically and mentally for the role, creating a Sabretooth that was as calculating as he was ferocious.

Schreiber dove into the part with total commitment. Despite being known for playing cerebral, refined characters, he “threw himself” into Sabretooth’s feral persona – even bulking up by an extra 40 pounds of muscle through intense training. Co-star Hugh Jackman noted that Schreiber possessed a competitive intensity perfect for Creed, with both actors egging each other on to perform their own stunts. Schreiber himself described Victor Creed as the most “monstrous” role he had ever played. To channel that monstrosity, he didn’t just rely on makeup or fangs; he altered his posture, movement, and voice. Schreiber, who had studied fight choreography and even dance in his past, uses that physical expertise to make Sabretooth move like an animal on the prowl – prowling, stalking, and pouncing with lethal grace. In fight scenes, he’s fluid and predatory, circling Wolverine with a sadistic gleam rather than charging mindlessly. This physicality, combined with Schreiber’s commanding 6’3” presence (augmented by his new muscle mass), made his Sabretooth both intimidating and believable as a top-tier villain.

Beyond the brawn, Schreiber brings brains to Sabretooth. His Victor Creed isn’t a mindless beast; he’s cunning, articulate, and wickedly self-aware. Throughout X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Schreiber delivers lines that reveal the cold intelligence and psychological depth behind Creed’s brutality. For example, in his introduction skit he says: “I'm not your friend. I'm an animal, who dreamed he was a man. But the dream is over. And the beast is awake.”

In this moment, Schreiber’s calm, almost proud delivery shows that Creed fully embraces his primal nature – he sees himself as the ultimate predator and wants Logan to acknowledge it too. In another chilling scene, Logan demands Creed explain why he murdered Logan’s girlfriend. Schreiber’s Victor smirks and quips, “You don’t call. You don’t write. How else am I supposed to get your attention?”.

The dark humor in that line – effectively saying he killed her just to provoke Wolverine – underscores Creed’s manipulative streak and perversely sadistic mindset. Schreiber delivers it with a mocking lightness that makes it land like a punch to the gut. These are not the words or tone of a dumb brute; they’re the taunts of a villain who enjoys mind games as much as violence.

Schreiber’s subtle facial expressions and vocal inflections further elevated the character. He often has Creed speak in a low, almost polite tone that barely conceals the menace underneath. Plus instead of his natural New York accent he uses a transatlantic accent, one that can't be placed anywhere certain and makes Victor even more mysterious. This contrast – a civilized voice uttering savage threats – makes him far more unsettling. When Creed does unleash his rage, Schreiber lets it erupt in controlled bursts. A curl of the lip, a flash of predatory teeth, a glare in the eyes – he conveys Sabretooth’s bloodlust with small touches so that when he finally roars or lashes out, it feels earned and terrifying. By giving Creed a personality (cruel, arrogant, yet at times wryly amused), Schreiber made him a fully realized antagonist. As one analysis noted, Schreiber’s “strong performance” and his dynamic with Jackman’s Wolverine were standout elements in an otherwise mixed-reviewed film. Many viewers and fans came away feeling that Schreiber’s Sabretooth was the highlight of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, thanks to the charisma and complexity he brought to the role.

Comparing Schreiber’s Sabretooth with Tyler Mane’s Portrayal

In stark contrast to Schreiber’s nuanced Creed, Tyler Mane’s version of Sabretooth in the original X-Men (2000) was a largely one-dimensional interpretation of the character. Mane, a 6’8” ex-wrestler, certainly looked the part – his Sabretooth had the hulking physique, wild hair, and animalistic growls. However, the 2000 film gave him almost nothing to work with beyond physical appearance. Sabretooth was depicted as a mostly mute, growling henchman who served as Magneto’s muscle. He had maybe a line or two of dialogue in the entire film (famously snarling “scream for me” at Storm), and no backstory or development. Critics and fans often note that in X-Men (2000), Sabretooth was essentially “a one-dimensional henchman that serves little purpose other than grunting his way through several action scenes.”

In other words, the character was reduced to a generic brute – a far cry from the cunning nemesis in the comics. Mane’s Sabretooth functioned as a minor obstacle for the heroes, lacking any personal connection to Wolverine or any insight into his motives. Once defeated in the finale, he’s simply gone and largely forgotten in the film series.

Schreiber’s Sabretooth, on the other hand, restored the character’s identity as Wolverine’s arch-nemesis and injected much-needed personality. X-Men Origins: Wolverine reimagined Creed and Logan as half-brothers, which immediately gave their conflict deeper emotional stakes. This fraternal rivalry is true to the spirit of the comics (where Sabretooth often acts as a dark mirror to Wolverine), even though the brother angle was an invention of the film. Director Gavin Hood and Hugh Jackman compared Logan and Victor’s relationship to the famous Borg–McEnroe tennis rivalry – bitter enemies who nonetheless need each other. Schreiber ran with this concept, portraying Creed as both jealous of and obsessed with Logan. Throughout the film he needles and tests Wolverine, always pushing his brother to unleash the animal within. This is very much in line with Sabretooth’s comic portrayal as well: in the comics, Victor Creed is a psychopathic predator who lives to torment Wolverine, trying to break his spirit. He revels in ruining Logan’s life to prove that Wolverine is no better than him. Schreiber’s Creed embodies that manipulative cruelty – he doesn’t just want to beat Logan physically; he wants to psychologically dominate him. By contrast, Tyler Mane’s version never went beyond “attack Logan because Magneto said so.”

In terms of comic accuracy, Schreiber’s take captures Sabretooth’s sadistic, intelligent nature much more faithfully. Sabretooth is traditionally a gleeful killer who taunts his victims and strategizes to exploit weaknesses. Schreiber gave us glimpses of that savvy killer – from the way his Creed expertly hunts down mutant targets for Stryker, to how he outwits and overpowers various opponents (he dispatches Wade Wilson and others with ease), all while maintaining a smug sense of superiority. Even in conversation, Schreiber’s Sabretooth is calculating: he lies, tricks, or brutally speaks the truth as it suits him. This is far closer to the comics’ Sabretooth, who has always been a “gleeful sadist” and a “habitually manipulative” foe to Wolverine, rather than a mindless beast. Tyler Mane’s Sabretooth, lacking dialogue and agency, felt more like a generic videogame boss. He was physically imposing and feral, but had no discernible intellect or personality on display. The difference is night and day – it’s essentially the difference between a true villain (Schreiber’s Creed) and a faceless heavy (Mane’s Creed).

It’s worth noting that even Tyler Mane himself wished he could have explored Sabretooth more. He wasn’t asked back for X-Men Origins, in part because the filmmakers wanted to cast someone who could believably play Jackman’s brother. The result was a recasting that benefited the character greatly. With Schreiber in the role, Sabretooth suddenly had gravitas. Viewers finally felt the long-standing Logan–Creed rivalry come to life on-screen. As one fan succinctly put it, X1’s Sabretooth was background muscle, whereas Schreiber’s Sabretooth was a real character. Indeed, many fans and critics regard Schreiber’s version as the definitive live-action Sabretooth, easily outshining Mane’s portrayal. The dynamic between Schreiber and Jackman – two skilled actors sparking off each other – gave us the Wolverine/Sabretooth conflict we had been waiting for. Their brotherly hatred felt real and earned. It’s no wonder that Schreiber’s performance is often singled out for praise despite X-Men Origins: Wolverine’s other flaws. His Sabretooth had an impact; he left an impression that Tyler Mane’s version simply did not.

Conclusion: The Superior Sabretooth and Hopes for a Return

Liev Schreiber’s turn as Sabretooth in X-Men Origins: Wolverine remains a high point of the X-Men film saga’s villains. By leveraging his classical acting skills and committing to the role’s physical demands, Schreiber crafted a multidimensional antagonist – one with ferocity and finesse. He delivered memorable lines and imbued Victor Creed with a sinister charm, making him a far more compelling and frightening foe for Wolverine. In contrast, the earlier Tyler Mane portrayal, while servicable as a visual spectacle, lacked any real characterization and ultimately felt hollow. Schreiber’s Sabretooth had the presence, personality, and faithfulness to the source material that the character deserved. As a result, many consider Schreiber’s version to be vastly superior – in fact, it’s often said he was “the best part of X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” and his absence in later films like Logan was seen as a missed opportunity.

Even years later, there is a strong fan desire to see Liev Schreiber reprise the role of Sabretooth. His performance struck a chord, and audiences know that with better material (and the X-Men possibly joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe), Schreiber could do even more with the character. He has expressed appreciation for the fans’ enthusiasm, though scheduling and the physical rigors of the role have been challenges. Nonetheless, if the question is who should embody Victor Creed going forward, the answer from this analysis is clear: Liev Schreiber. He understands the character’s dual nature – both beastly and intelligent – and can convey the threat of Sabretooth on multiple levels. Schreiber’s Sabretooth is the rare villain portrayal that elevates the film he’s in. Bringing him back would instantly add dramatic weight to any future X-Men story featuring Wolverine.

In summary, Liev Schreiber proved himself the perfect actor for Sabretooth by giving us a Victor Creed with classical depth and animalistic intensity all at once. His superior performance not only eclipsed Tyler Mane’s version but also set a benchmark for how complex comic book antagonists can be on screen. Schreiber’s Sabretooth was brutal, cunning, and unforgettable – exactly what Sabretooth should be. If the X-Men franchise is wise, it will find a way to let him (and those fearsome claws) return for another round.

#love this thespian so much and everything he brought to this role <3

Kitty cat

The Team X base was quiet at this hour. Most of the others were in their rooms, catching a few hours of sleep or mindlessly passing the time between missions. But in the small, dimly lit room shared by the brothers, there was movement.

Not from Logan.

Logan lay on his cot, one arm draped over his face, pretending to sleep but listening. He had gotten used to the sounds Victor made—shifting, stretching, pacing like a caged beast. It was part of his nightly ritual. And it was always the same.

The bed frame creaked as Victor pushed himself off it, landing soundlessly on all fours, muscles rippling beneath his skin as he stretched. First the shoulders, then the spine, rolling each vertebra like a lazy jungle cat waking from a nap.

Logan cracked an eye open just enough to watch.

Victor prowled across the small space, bare feet silent against the concrete floor, knuckles barely brushing the ground. He moved differently like this—smoother, more natural, as if this was the way he was supposed to walk, and standing upright was just something he did for show.

"You ever just—walk like a normal goddamn person?" Logan grumbled, not bothering to move from his cot.

Victor grinned, flashing sharp teeth in the dim light. "I am walkin’ normal, Jimmy."

Logan groaned, throwing his arm over his face again. "Yeah? You gonna start drinkin’ from a bowl next?"

Victor didn’t answer. He just kept pacing, slow and deliberate, circling the room like he was stalking some unseen prey. His blue eyes flicked toward Logan, watching, waiting. Then, without warning, he leapt onto Logan’s bed in one smooth motion, landing on all fours right beside him.

Logan’s claws slid out instinctively. "Get the hell offa me, Vic!"

Victor, unbothered, merely smirked and flopped down on top of Logan like some oversized jungle cat, pressing his weight against him. Logan grunted as Victor’s elbow jabbed into his ribs.

"Jesus Christ, you’re worse than a damn dog—get off!"

"Dogs ain’t this big," Victor murmured, completely at ease. "You’re warm, Jimmy."

Logan growled low in his throat, "I will gut you where you lay."

Victor, ever the bastard, just rumbled an amused purr deep in his chest and sprawled further, making himself comfortable. Logan could feel the vibration against his ribs, the low, rolling sound vibrating up from Victor’s chest like a lion lounging after a hunt.

"You fuckin' purring?" Logan asked, appalled.

His brother just smirked against Logan’s shoulder, the deep rumble continuing.

Victor always moved differently when they were alone. He didn’t have to perform in front of the team. Didn’t have to act like a proper soldier for Stryker. In their room, when it was just him and Logan, he let go of that last, thin veneer of civility.

He had seen it before, the way Victor relaxed into his instincts when no one else was around. He wouldn’t even notice when he dropped to all fours, prowling the small space like a lion pacing its enclosure. It was as if standing up straight was something he only did for the sake of others, and the second he was alone, he went back to what was natural.

Sometimes, Victor would curl up in weird places—corners, on top of the table, once even on a stack of crates like some oversized housecat claiming the highest perch.

Logan never commented on it. What was the point? Victor was Victor.

But it was damn annoying.

Like when Victor sprawled across Logan’s cot, unbothered, taking up way more space than his oversized ass had any right to.

Logan shoved at him, trying to roll him off.

Victor didn’t move.

He shoved harder.

Victor flopped like a sack of bricks, letting out an exaggerated, rumbling sigh.

Logan finally kicked him, sending him tumbling off the bed with a grunt.

Victor lay there for a second, sprawled on the floor, then rolled onto his side, blinking up at Logan with lazy eyes.

"Y’know, Jimmy, you really gotta work on your hospitality."

"Hospitality my ass," Logan muttered, sitting up and rubbing his face. "I hate you."

Victor chuckled, prowling lazily to the other side of the room. He stretched again, pushing his claws into the floor with a satisfied groan before finally dropping onto his own bed again—on his stomach, limbs sprawled out, tailbone lifting slightly before settling.

Logan closed his eyes again, hoping for some peace.

Victor wasn’t done.

"Y’ever think about it, Jimmy?"

Logan cracked one eye open. "Think about what?"

"Walkin’ different."

Logan scoffed. "I walk just fine on two feet, thanks."

Victor hummed, noncommittal. "M’just sayin’. Might be faster."

Logan rolled his eyes. "The hell would I look like, runnin’ around on all fours like a goddamn dog?"

Victor grinned, fangs flashing in the dim light. "Like someone who ain’t fightin’ what he is."

Logan stared at him for a moment before scoffing, rolling onto his side. "You need to shut up and go the hell to sleep."

Victor let out another low, lazy purr before finally closing his eyes.

Logan listened to the sound for a moment—low, deep, rhythmic. Annoyingly comfortable.

He muttered a curse under his breath.

---

The morning was too damn early.

Logan had barely gotten any sleep, and it was all thanks to Victor, who had spent half the night prowling around like some oversized housecat before finally flopping onto his cot and purring himself to sleep like a damn contented lion.

Logan had tried ignoring it. He really had.

Didn’t work.

And now, in the pale morning light filtering through the cheap blinds of their barracks, Logan sat on the edge of his cot, rubbing the exhaustion out of his face while Victor—of course—slept like the dead. Sprawled out on his stomach, one arm hanging off the side of the bed, the other tucked beneath his chin. His legs were bent slightly at the knees, feet twitching every now and then like a dog dreaming of chasing something. His breath came slow and steady, his short dark hair slightly curling at the ends, a faint rumbly sound still vibrating in his chest.

Logan scowled.

The asshole had no shame.

And that was exactly when the door slammed open.

"GOOD MORNING, PRINCESSES!"

Logan jerked his head up.

Wade.

There he stood, grinning ear to ear, hands on his hips, already bouncing with some unholy amount of morning energy that no human—or mutant—should have at this hour.

Logan groaned. "Wilson, get the hell outta here."

But Wade wasn’t listening. Oh, no.

Wade had already spotted Victor.

And his brain was currently breaking.

The mercenary froze in the doorway, blinking rapidly like his eyes were failing to process what he was seeing. Then—slowly, carefully—he reached up, grabbed the doorframe, and leaned in, squinting.

Victor, still fast asleep, remained oblivious.

Still curled up.

Still purring.

And that’s when Wade lost his goddamn mind.

"Oh. My. GOD."

Logan’s stomach dropped. Victor’s ears twitched. Wade screamed.

"LOOK AT THIS BIG, FLUFFY BASTARD!"

Logan barely had time to react before Wade bolted across the room. Like a missile. Straight for Victor.

"WHO’S A LITTLE KITTY CAT? YOU ARE! YES, YOU ARE!"

He dove.

Victor’s eyes shot open—just in time for Wade to land on him. Logan winced.

The explosion that followed was instantaneous.

A guttural, earth-shattering snarl erupted from Victor’s throat, so deep it practically rattled the walls. Wade, entirely unfazed, had already latched onto him, ruffling Victor’s hair and shaking him like a dog with a chew toy.

Victor roared, claws extending, eyes glowing, pure murderous intent radiating off of him.

But Wade wasn’t done. Not even close.

"OH MY GOD, I KNEW IT! I KNEW YOU WERE JUST A BIG OL’ PUDDY TAT!"

Victor tried to fling him off—tried—but Wade was clinging like a limpet, legs wrapped around his waist, arms locked around his shoulders.

"WADE, I SWEAR TO GOD—"

"ADMIT IT, VICKY! YOU’RE A LITTLE KITTY CAT!"

Victor snarled, rolling onto his side, trying to crush Wade beneath him, but Wade just screeched with laughter, entirely unbothered.

"LOGAN, LOOK! HE’S A SNUGGLY BABY! I BET HE MAKES BISCUITS IN HIS SLEEP!"

Logan was watching all of this unfold with a deep, growing sense of amusement.

Victor was pissed.

Like, beyond pissed.

Like, "I’m-about-to-rip-your-spinal-cord-out-through-your-nostrils" pissed.

But Wade? Wade was having the time of his life.

Victor finally, finally managed to throw Wade off, flinging him halfway across the room, sending him crashing into Logan’s cot with enough force to knock it sideways.

For a second, everything was still.

Then Wade sat up. Grinning.

Victor loomed over him, shoulders rising and falling with each furious breath, claws out, looking every bit the apex predator he was.

Wade, still grinning like an idiot, meowed at him.

Logan slapped a hand over his face.

Victor lunged.

Wade ran.

The door slammed behind them, Wade’s laughter echoing down the hallway as Victor’s snarls followed close behind.

Logan, left in the wreckage of their destroyed room, exhaled heavily.

Then he muttered, "I need a drink."

And that was how Wade Wilson almost died at 6 AM on a Tuesday.

#wade is so me #no regrets though. i too would risk dying if i can treat victor like the cuddly giant kitty he is #as always love their banter <3
