Sabretooth: Man or Beast



Who is Sabretooth? A murderous animal. Maybe. But, what about a misunderstood person. Bet'cha never thought of that. Now lets take a moment to see why he is so.

First off, why do we picture Sabretooth as an animal? All he is is a mutant with animalistic qualities. That is no reason to call him an animal. Sure he kills, and isn't the brightest crayon in the box. But have you ever thought why he is that way. He kills to make money. Yes, a rather gory way to earn a living, but do you really think any other job would be suitable for him with his mutant qualities. No it would not. Same with school. And along with that he never even had the chance to go to school. He was locked in a basement where his father tried to pull out his claws and teeth with pliers, drilled into his head that he wasn't "normal", and that he would never be accepted into society.

Second, why do people always picture him as "a cold blooded murderer"? Yes, we already know he kills, but that does not mean he's cold blooded. Is it because he can keep a straight face, and not cringe, but laugh and smile? I guess this is why. Have you ever wondered what he does with his "blood" money though? He really doesn't treat himself to kind now does he? Maybe he has someone he cares for that he sends it to. And yes he does care. If he didn't how would Graydon from the comic series come to be? Which leads me to another topic.

Is Sabretooh really the bad guy? Maybe it's his employers. You know the ones who hire him to kill others. May be it's the rest of the Acolytes. They may have him blackmailed, and are forcing him to do these things.

I leave you now with this thought. Sabretooth, man or beast? Think this over carefully. Because you never know.

AN - Please review! And tell me is Sabretooth man or beast?
