Biography[]
Modern years[]
Working as a mercenary, Sabretooth was hired to kidnap lawyer Jeryn Hogarth as part of an extended plan to sabotage the Rand-Meachum Corporation. Hogarth's bodyguards, Danny Rand, aka Iron Fist, and Colleen Wing tracked them down to a chalet in the Canadian Rockies. Sabretooth fought Iron Fist for the first time. He took advantage of the sun reflecting off the snowy landscape that temporarily blinded Iron Fist, but Danny compensated for his lack of vision and managed to defeat Sabretooth. [1]
