The Berlin safehouse was pretty dingy. The mattress was pretty dingy too. They were lucky it even had a sheet on it.

Sabretooth didn’t care. He was more than just content. He was happy.

His big, hairy, muscular body was wrapped neatly around the half-sleeping form of his lover. Leni Zauber.

He stroked her face fondly with a large, sharp-nailed hand.

She was gorgeous, that much was indisputable. But what he really liked was everything else. How she held herself. How she smelled. The rough, direct way she spoke to him. The way she made love. The way she danced.

A guy could get used to this. It was the kind of thing that made guys go AWOL.

He was thinking, seriously, of continuing to be awol. Maybe permanently.

“Got a hell of a thing for you, Leni,” he murmured to his half sleeping lover.

“You too,” she murmured back.

Harry and Norman Osborn’s first ever on-panel (Amazing Spider-Man #37) interaction sets, shall we say, a certain tone for their interactions.

It’s bad.

I mean its *really* bad.

For context, Norman was at the time being written specifically as an Ayn Rand-ian ‘parasite’, a man who had only gotten where he was through theft and guile, and the writer wasn’t one for giving nuance to characters he was portraying as bad guys.

But still.

Harry is nothing but on his father’s side, and Norman is just… there’s no other word for it. Mean. He’s mean an abusive.

It sucks.

Harry: “I don’t get it, why would Spider-Man try to burn down your plant?”

Norman: “Don’t believe everything you hear, Harry. It wasn’t Spider-Man! Someone else was behind this!”

Harry: “But who?”

Norman: (internally) “I can’t tell the kid how I cheated Professor Stromm out of his inventions and then railroaded him into jail when he began to threaten me? It has to be Stromm who’s after me!”

Harry: (continuing his previous thought) “Wouldn’t it be somethin’ if Spider-Man is trying to work a protection racket?”

Norman: “Harry, don’t you ever shut up?”

Harry, Gwen and Pete meet the first time

Amazing Spider-Man #31

To say they’re not exactly friends from the start would be an understatement. Pete’s usual standoffishness is only made worse because Aunt May is sick at the time.

Harry reacts about as well as you expect, calling him a square, and trying to prank him. He extends the olive branch, at Gwen’s behest, inviting Peter out for a coke; but Peter blows him off for Spider stuff as is his pattern.

As an aside, the way Ditko draws Harry’s face in this issue makes him look like a skeleton.

“Looking for God, Christian? I’ll send you to him!”
X-Men Unlimited (1993) #40

I think it’s important to point out that this man, Sabretooth, would later go on to invade literal actual hell to save his son’s soul. And then later set himself up as reigning as lord of the hell of his own creation in a Miltonian Lucifer allusion.

Sabretooth (😼πŸ”ͺ) x Doc Ock

cw: medical

“Hold still,” Otto hissed. He held the needle and medical thread in his gloved fingers, while his tentacles hovered nearby with gauze and alcohol.

Sabretooth growled as the doctor neatly sewed up the long slashes in his back. “I hate this, doc.”

“Is it *my* fault that your healing factor is suppressed?” Otto chided. “No it is not. So hold still and let me make sure you don’t lose all your damned blood.”

“Yeah yeah,” the big man grumbled huffily. But he held still and let Otto work.

Otto’s tentacles wiped Sabretooth’s neatly stitched wounds with alcohol soaked gauze, and Sabretooth drew a breath like a hiss.

“I thought you didn’t care about pain, Victor,” Otto tutted, giving him a rather fretful look.

“Well that’s when I know it’s healin’ right,” Sabretooth complained. “Besides, it stops hurting real fast, usually.”

“You big baby.” Otto shook his head fondly. “Well its done now, and I promise it will heal right. I am a doctor after all.”

“Uhuh,” the big cat man gave him a teasing look.

Otto cupped Victor’s broad chin fondly with a bloody glove. “Trust me.”

“I’ll try.”

Otto kissed him on the mouth. “Imbecile. Try not to get hurt next time.”

Throughout the early years of Marvel comics, Toad (first introduced in 1964) is consistently treated like a pathetic joke by both the narrative and writers, and by the characters themselves.

Primarily this is driven by his appearance, which, as a result of his genetic mutation causes him to have a hunched back and nebulous facial deformity, which leads others to treat him like shit, including all of the heroic characters.

By 1975’s Avengers #138 Toad– whose last appearance had him abandoned and imprisoned in space in 1970– has recognized that the way people treat him is wrong, decided that he hates it, and taken action to pursue his goals for himself, rather than being someone’s yes-man.

In this time he has taught himself alien mechanics, built a rocket ship, and mastered alien illusion technology.

And… the Avengers still just laugh him off like he’s not even worth thinking about.

They don’t even send him to jail or anything. They just laugh at him.

Fucked up.
