The rivalry leaked over onto the big screen twice, but the first X-Men film and the deservedly maligned X-Men Origins: Wolverine do not capture the bloody majesty of the Wolverine/Sabretooth war that has been raging on comics for centuries. Whatever the case, Sabretooth has dedicated his life to tormenting Wolverine. X-lore hints that Sabretooth and Wolverine may be brothers, but X-continuity is about as tenuous and as difficult to understand as Donald Trump’s cabinet picks. Then, Sabretooth murdered a woman named Silver Fox, one of Logan’s great loves and this bloody hatred was born. Since then, it has been revealed that Sabretooth and Logan used to be comrades in arms until things turned sour. That’s like Lex Luthor making his debut in an Hourman comic. Considering Sabretooth went on to become Wolverine’s greatest foe, it seems odd that the most murderous mutant of all first appeared in a random issue of Iron Fist. Wait, Sabretooth first appeared in Iron Fist? That’s so weird. Sabretooth First appearance Iron Fist #14 (1977) Created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne Of course, Logan did get his adamantium back, but still, the moment that Magneto pulled out the adamantium from Logan’s bones through Wolverine’s pores, ass, and nostrils is forever burned in X-lore, making Magneto and Wolverine eternal rivals. Wolverine did avenge himself when he recovered, and totally sliced Mags to ribbons. In fairness, Magneto tore out the adamantium lining Wolverine’s bones not the whole skeleton, but still, that totally counts as a dick move (if you tore out the lining of an android’s skeleton, that would be a Philip K. But listen, Magneto once tore out Wolverine’s skeleton, so that makes them mortal enemies forever and ever because you just don’t go around tearing out people’s skeletons. Heck man, these days Magneto runs with the X-Men as he has become a reluctant hero in the Marvel Universe. Yeah, we know, Magneto is the X-Men’s ultimate enemy, not just Wolverine’s. Magneto First appearance X-Men #1 (1963) Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby We adore you Omega Red, you creepy anime-haired tentacle vampire, and we hope to see you in live action one day. Pony tale, snarling, great hair, and Wolverine derivative. We love Omega Red because he is every 1990s comic book trope rammed together. No wonder Rossovich hates Logan so much), he is able to suck the life force off others using his carbonadium tentacles essentially making him a Russian assassin vampire mutant spree killer. Omega Red has been a constant foe to Wolverine and the X-Men, but the Weapon X connection also makes this tentacle versus claw rivalry personal. He has a healing factor like Wolverine, he is bonded with an unbreakable substance known as carbonadium (which is like a flaccid version of adamantium- hey, there you go, Omega Red is the flaccid Wolverine. Omega Red is long overdue for a film appearance because there’s just so much badass going on with this pony-tailed killer.
