Graydon Creed

Graydon Creed is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer Scott Lobdell and artist Brandon Peterson and first appeared in The Uncanny X-Men #299 (April 1993). He is the "baseline human" son of Sabretooth and Mystique. Which makes him the half brother of Nightcrawler.

Posing as German spy Leni Zauber, Mystique seduced freelance assassin Victor Creed (Sabretooth) while he was in Germany on a mission. Mystique later gave birth to a normal human child—Graydon—whom she gave up for adoption, although she kept an eye on him. When Graydon learned that he was the son of two mutants who had abandoned him as an inconvenience, he grew resentful of all mutants and that resentment colored his outlook for the rest of his life.

In his adult years, Graydon formed a group called the Friends of Humanity, dedicated to opposing mutant civil rights by committing acts of terrorism against peaceful mutants and mutant sympathizers, and using the acts of violent mutants such as Magneto to rally support for their cause.

Creed also came to join the Upstarts, a group of wealthy and powerful individuals who had been brought together by Selene and the Gamesmaster with the sole purpose of killing mutants for points in a twisted game. After learning of his parents' identities, Creed sought to kill them as part of the Upstarts' game. Disguised as the armored Tribune, Creed hired assassins to kill his mother and had his father implanted with a bomb. His father managed to remove the device and confronted his son, who callously stabbed Sabretooth's assistant, Birdy, a mutant telepath whom Sabretooth employed to keep his homicidal rages in check.

During the Upstarts' self-professed "Younghunt", Creed was blackmailed into revealing the location of the Upstarts' prisoners by the New Warriors, who threatened to expose Creed as a mutant collaborator and the son of mutants.

Graydon Creed runs for president on an anti-mutant platform with the support of Operation: Zero Tolerance. On the eve of the election, Creed is assassinated during a campaign speech. The miniseries X-Men Forever reveals that a future version of Mystique had fired the shot, having sworn to kill Graydon for his part in the Friends of Humanity's attack on Trevor Chase, the grandson of her lover Destiny.

In X-Force, the Purifiers recover Graydon Creed's corpse, which Bastion reanimates using the Transmode Virus. During the Second Coming storyline, Graydon Creed is killed by Hope Summers. In the "Hunt for Wolverine" storyline, Creed returns as a zombie before Lady Deathstrike kills him.

An alternate universe variant of Graydon Creed from Earth-295 appears in Age of Apocalypse. This version is a member of a human resistance against Apocalypse. In the "X-Termination" event, Creed is killed by the Exterminators.
