[[caption-width-right:244:"I have been cheated of my birthright... my human essence and now... my just and long-awaited revenge -- but I will not be cheated of my honor."]]

Daughter of Professor Oyama, a Japanese scientist who invented the process for bonding adamantium to living beings to create {{Super Soldier}}s. Because of his involvement with Wolverine's transformation into Weapon X, he ended up dead, and Yuriko swore vengeance upon Wolverine. Joining a band of cybernetically augmented mercenaries, known as the Reavers, she had herself modified and outfitted with adamantium claws of her own so she could slay Wolverine to avenge her father's death.

* BareYourMidriff: DepeningOnTheArtist, her costumes may involve this. Given her healing factor this is less impractical than for some heroines. Given her general lack of interest in sexuality, however, it still doesn't make much sense.

Once a ship's surgeon who sailed with Sir Francis Drake, Bloodscream was cursed with immortality and a thirst for blood when, after he was fatally wounded, Drake forced a native healer to raise him from the dead. Trapped as a vampiric monster, and desiring an end to his condition, Bloodscream began seeking for another immortal to prey upon, believing that only the blood of a being such as himself could free him from the curse.

->'''AKA:''' Victor Creed
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/489163-sabretooth__28victor_creed_29_004_5363.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"Not here to kill you. Far as I'm concerned, you can stay just like this. But I'm gonna make you a promise. You ever find anything--anybody--to make life worth living again--I'll be there."]]

Sabretooth is the anti-mutant case in human form. He is a sadistic, unrepentant, bestial mass-murderer with superpowers and is [[CardCarryingVillain proud of that fact]], believing both [[HumansAreBastards Humans and Mutants are Bastards]] and that [[NietzscheWannabe he is just the only one honest enough to recognise it]], and embrace the monster within. This plays directly into his relationship with {{Wolverine}}, his ArchEnemy, GoodCounterpart and ShadowArchetype with nearly identical powers, with whom he shares a long and complicated past ShroudedInMyth, with neither of them really sure how they first knew each other or why Victor feels such a grudge against him.

What is consistent, though, is that Creed is obsessed with Logan and will give him frequent {{Hannibal Lecture}}s about how he should turn to the DarkSide and become an animal like him, whilst simultaneously hell-bent on proving that he is Logan's AlwaysSomeoneBetter despite- or probably because of- the evidence suggesting it is really the other way round, as Wolverine consistently gets the better of him, though Sabretooth often leaves scars whenever that happens.

As with Mystique, Sabretooth is likely to end up as TheDragon to {{Magneto}} in various adaptations, despite the mainstream comic book versions having very little interaction and Sabretooth being the kind of monster who undermines Magneto's entire pro-mutant agenda. However, those adaptations usually make their working relationship rather short-lived, and sometimes he only joins him to get a chance to fight Wolverine.

[[caption-width-right:336:"The time has come, the walrus said, to twist off Logan's head. To yank his brains out through his nose and hang it in the shed."]]

A psychopathic soldier and career criminal, Silas Burr was an early mutant who served as Wolverine's drill instructor in WWI and as his commanding officer in the Devil's Brigade during WWII. Surviving both conflicts, Cyber later trained Daken, who turned on him and left him for dead. Rebuilt by Romulus as an adamantium skinned cyborg, Cyber has a new set of powers and a new lease on life, while retaining his old grudges against Wolverine and Daken both.

A Japanese mutant born to a Yakuza clan who has the power to envelop any blade he is carrying with a forcefield that lets it cut through pretty much anything. Most famous for running around in silver-colored samurai armor and for being the brother of the woman Wolverine nearly married.

Daughter of Professor Oyama, a Japanese scientist who invented the process for bonding Adamantium to living beings to create {{Super Soldier}}s. Because of his involvement with Wolverine's transformation into Weapon X, he ended up dead, and Yuriko swore vengeance upon Wolverine. Joining a band of cybernetically augmented mercenaries, known as the Reavers, she had herself modified and outfitted with Adamantium claws of her own so she could slay Wolverine to avenge her father's death.

An attempt by the Soviet Union to create a SuperSoldier, Omega Red was designed as a counterpart to America-Canada's "Weapon X" project, using the Soviet knock-off of Adamantium, known as Carbonadium. In a typical display of Soviet brilliance, they decided to use a regenerating mutant as the basis for their soldier, as was the case with Wolverine -- but the only candidate who fit the bill was Arkady Gregorivich, a serial killer. Needless to say, Omega Red is one of the most brutal and murderous villains that Wolverine has ever run across.

Wolverine's son by his deceased wife, Itsu, Daken is a remorseless killer and seducer who resents his father for abandoning him. Having trained with the likes of Cyber and Sabretooth, Daken has gone out of his way to make his father's life miserable, even joining up with NormanOsborn's Dark Avengers in order to tarnish Wolverine's reputation.

* EvilCounterpart: Daken arguably is this to his father.
** More so to his [[ComicBook/{{X23}} sister]] since Wolverine already has a long established evil counterpart. Daken shows how [[ComicBook/{{X23}} Laura]] could have turned out (and still might) without any positive guidance in her life.
*** Despite that, they get along quite well, when they don't try to kill each other that is.

* AntiHero: One of the first big ones in comics.
