Marvel’s ultimate universe has already given Wolverine a new form, and now his fiercest warrior, Sabretooth, is making a drastic change within himself. The fans are desperately waiting for the moment when Sabretooth will emerge in the universe, and finally that time has come. However, with all the changes revealed to Wolverine in this reboot, there is a burning question – will Sabretooth continue to be his sworn enemy?
Marvel Comics has officially revealed the story of Ultimate Wolverine #5, written by Cris Condan with art by Alex Lins. This issue’s main cover, painted by Alessandro Kaippuccio, signals a brutal beginning for Sabretooth. The scientific evidence confirms what the human universe has already shown – Sabretooth is about to enter Earth-6160, and along with him comes a new mystery from Wolverine’s presence.
Although it is clear that Sabretooth is ready to reclaim his role as Wolverine’s ultimate enemy, his exact nature in the new world remains a mystery. Will this version of Sabretooth continue on the same cruel path as the first, or are there any surprises in store for it? Fans will not have to wait much longer to know this, because this blood-soaked struggle is about to start again in a completely new way.
“Ultimate Sabretooth: Marvel’s New Mutant Hero Up against a Villainous Wolverine?”
With the arrival of Sabretooth in the Ultimate Universe, many people believe that there will once again be a Crook playing the role of the hero – especially after his first look at the Crook on the cover of Ultimate Wolverine #5. Given his long history as one of Marvel’s most notorious enemies, it was natural to expect him to be another deadly foe. However, it is possible that this time things may not be completely different.
He is not the only one in the universe, the wolf is not the only one who is familiar with him. He is in control of the Eurasian Republic, which is ruled by the Colossus, Magik, and Omega Red – the powerful adepts of the Makar Council, which is the secret power that rules the world. Under his influence, Wolverine has been transformed into a murderous Initiator, tasked with hunting down and eliminating any Bhee descendants who oppose his rule.
This change in terrain raises a tricky question – can Sabretooth really stand up for justice? If he were to fight against the powers that be, trying to control the wolf and its use, then he would not be able to do anything at all. By doing so, Sabretooth may be the only chance for the survival of our species, making Wolverine an extraordinary hero in a world where the wolf is a real threat.
“Sabretooth’s Surprising Role in the Ultimate Universe—Could He Follow Mystique’s Path?”
If Sabretooth ends up fighting for the freedom of mutants against an oppressive regime, he wouldn’t be the first former villain to take on a heroic role in the Ultimate Universe. Ultimate Wolverine #1 already revealed that Mystique, a well-known antagonist in Earth-616, was actually a resistance fighter battling against the Rasputin’s to protect mutant kind. However, her fight was brutally cut short—Wolverine mercilessly executed her, slashing her throat before wiping out her entire group, including Nightcrawler, as they stood against the Eurasian Republic.
While the possibility of Sabretooth stepping into the role of a hero adds an exciting twist to this new universe, nothing has been officially confirmed yet. So far, the only details available come from the recent issue solicitation, which promises a savage, blood-soaked debut for Sabretooth—mirroring Wolverine’s own transformation in this world.
The mystery surrounding Sabretooth’s true allegiance continues to build, leaving fans eager to see whether he will follow in Mystique’s footsteps as a rebellious champion or if he will embrace his traditionally ruthless nature. His highly anticipated arrival is set for Ultimate Wolverine #5, hitting shelves on May 7, 2025.
