Today's Fact
Verified against multiple independent sources. Issues cited below.
Victor Creed has a son — and the son hates him for a living. Graydon Creed, first seen in Uncanny X-Men #299 (April 1993) by Scott Lobdell & Brandon Peterson, is the child of Sabretooth and Mystique, conceived when Mystique was undercover as German spy Leni Zauber. Against all odds, Graydon was born completely human — no powers at all.
Mystique gave the baseline-human baby up for adoption. Graydon grew up, learned exactly who his parents were, and concluded they had abandoned him because he was an inconvenience. His answer was not therapy: he founded the Friends of Humanity, the anti-mutant hate movement that terrorised peaceful mutants and sympathisers through the 1990s X-books.
Graydon parlayed the movement into a presidential campaign built on anti-mutant fear — while secretly playing the Upstarts' mutant-killing game as the armoured Tribune and putting a bomb in his own father. He was assassinated on the campaign trail by a time-displaced Mystique: killed by his mother, in the name of the people he was trying to exterminate.
Why It's Obscure
Everyone knows Creed as Wolverine's monster. Far fewer know his abandoned human son nearly rode anti-mutant hate into the White House.
