The X-Men have one of the most varied and terrifying rogues galleries of villains in the entire Marvel Universe. From massive robots and extradimensional demons to warlike aliens and mutant mad scientists, the X-Men have battled virtually every type of threat imaginable. But of all the foes the X-Men have fought, few possess the razor-honed feral rage and focus like Victor Creed, who is best known as Sabretooth. A sometimes mercenary, sometimes member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Sabretooth very quickly established himself as one of the most relentless and vicious villains the X-Men have ever faced. Over the years, as Sabretooth came to operate on his own terms, he acquired an invaluable ally who aided him in his life of violent crime. Her name was Birdy, and she was simultaneously Sabretooth’s closest friend and closest prisoner.
Birdy debuted in 1992’s X-Men #6 (by Jim Lee and Scott Lobdell.) Appearing suddenly alongside Sabretooth in an alley, Birdy was established as Sabretooth’s closest confidant and partner. A mutant telepath who helped sooth Sabretooth’s more feral urges, Birdy was an indispensable source of calm for the remorseless killer. Unlike other partnerships, however, Birdy was never considered to be Sabretooth’s equal. She wasn’t even considered to be worthy of his respect either, a dynamic that created a very tense and oftentimes violent relationship between the two. In many ways, Birdy was as much a slave to Sabretooth as she was his ally, which bred a horribly violent relationship between the two mutants.
Unsurprisingly, neither Sabretooth nor Mystique were cut out to be caring, loving parents; this led to Mystique keeping the truth about Graydon’s father from him and eventually abandoning him due to him not being born a mutant. When Graydon grew into a man, he became obsessed with hunting down his parents and exacting revenge on them for the abuse they inflicted on him. When Sabretooth and Birdy finally confronted Sabretooth’s son, Graydon produced a knife and stabbed Birdy without warning. Dying within seconds, Birdy fell to the ground, shocked and stunned.
