Notes:

Creed was depicted in Stryfe's Strike File #1 before his first physical appearance in UXM #299. First appeared as Tribune in Sabretooth (1st series) #1. Graydon was revealed as Sabretooth's son in Sabretooth (1st series) #4.

Graydon's American citizenship is debateable. Technically, his mother is Austrian and his father is Canadian, and he was at least conceived somewhere in Germany. Yet his presidential campaign indicates he at least presented himself publically as a natural-born American citizen. Whether he was actually born in the United States, or if he or his mother Mystique forged papers to establish this, is unknown.

Creed was reanimated by Bastion and his techno-organic virus in X-Force (3rd series) #3. He was killed again battling the X-Men in X-Force (3rd series) #28. Sabretooth arranged for his son's soul to be freed from Hell in Weapon X (3rd series) #27. He was confirmed to be alive and active again in Sabretooth & the Exiles #1-5.
