Victor Creed is the mortal enemy of Wolverine and father of X-23.
History[]
When Victor Creed's mutation first manifested, he accidentally killed his brother over a piece of pie. His father confined him to a cellar and would systemically pull out Victor's "devil teeth" in an attempt to purge the boy of his "demons". Victor was chained like an animal in the family cellar for years until one day he chewed off his own hand in order to break free, subsequently murdering his father. Although he would later claim to have killed his mother as well, he actually spared her, and made sure she lived a comfortable life, until she was diagnosed with cancer and confined to a hospital, where she was killed by a member of the Red Right Hand.
Freed from his parents, Victor was unleashed upon society. At age thirteen, he reportedly rampaged across three Canadian provinces and killed at least three police officers. According to Creed, he remained in Canada and, at about fifteen, worked for the railroad, laying down rail from Calgary up to the Yukon. Among the workers on the line was a belligerent older man who delighted in picking on the teenage Creed. Though the man "had a hundred pounds on him", Creed gutted him from crotch to Adam's apple with his claws.
The Hunter Hunted[]
X-Factor chose him as their first target for hunting down mutant criminals. He was confronted by Multiple Man first who split himself into a number of dupes. He would ultimately be defeated by Polaris with the use of her magnetic powers.
Disconnected[]
He finds his daughter's genetic code has been altered with that of his enemy Wolverine's and turns on her in hopes of her replacing his former rival.
