As Sabertooth is best known for his brutal tactics and animalistic nature make him one of the X-Men's most feared adversaries, but the latest incarnation of the character has made him a fashion icon as well. Both Marvel mutants have been evenly matched across most categories, but now Sabertooth finally has one thing he can hold over his brother: a better fit.
As revealed by AIPT, the cover of Ultimate Wolverine 7, written by Christopher Condon and illustrated by Leinil Francis Yu, features the iconic mutant with a brand-new look. This reinvented look gives the iconic mutant an aggressive twist on the typical coffee shop hipster style.
Instead of his typical disheveled, beast-like appearance, Victor rocks fresh close-cut trim and a wide handlebar mustache, with just the right amount of curl. Sabertooth's glow-up is a refreshing departure from past appearances, and should be more than enough to make his half-brother jealous.

Fans of Sabretooth know he’s always been a formidable force, but his look has often been stuck in the past.
