In the early 1960s Creed was a special operative for the Central Intelligence Agency, who apparently gave him the code name "Sabretooth." In the CIA Creed frequently worked in partnership with two other superhuman mutant agents, Logan, code-named Wolverine, and David North, code-named Maverick. Creed had a falling out with Logan and North during a mission in Berlin in the early 1960s. Since then, Sabretooth and Wolverine have been mortal enemies.
Subsequently, Sabretooth joined the Marauders, a group of superhuman assassins who worked for the mysterious Mr Sinister. Mr Sinister assigned the Marauders to massacre the underground community of mutants called the Morlocks. In the course of helping to carry out this massacre, Sabretooth once again encountered and fought Wolverine. This led to a series of subsequent battles between the two longtime enemies.
The X-Men finally captured Sabretooth, and their leader, Charles Xavier, tried to help Sabretooth overcome his psychotic impulses, just as the X-Men had aided Wolverine in controlling his own tendency towards berserker rage. Infuriated at discovering Sabretooth at Xavier's mansion, Wolverine battled Sabretooth and seemingly injured Sabretooth's brain with a thrust of one of his claws. Afterwards, Sabretooth seemed unusually passive and peaceful. However, Sabretooth recovered his true personality while pretending to remain docile, and finally turned against the X-Men, mortally wounding Psylocke. He continues to fight against the X-Men
