As an experiment, I'm going to be setting up some polls for the canon folks so that people can give a general "grade card" style review of their performance if they choose to. This will hopefully let those of us who play recognizable characters know if we're doing something people can enjoy and relate to.
Since I haven't been posting much lately due to my rather untimely demise, I'll exempt myself from this exercise for now.
If any non-canon folks want one of these put up please let me know.
If you have any helpful comments for the person who portrays this character , please add them.

Creed. Man, what can one say about the guy? As Guido mentioned in his feedback for Logan, Creed is another character that seems to, more often than not, get portrayed one way and one way only. He’s shown as having no remorse, no depth; he’s just a psychopathic killing machine, and writers seem hesitant or maybe even afraid to step outside this box.
But not our Creed. Our Creed has often showed the side of the hunter, the killer, the heartless monster. But he has also done something that you’d be hard pressed to find anywhere else: he’s also shown that there is more to the beast, as Creed is a man as well. He can love, he can regret, he can feel human. And this is what makes the all of his scenes such interesting reads. He’s unpredictable, as you never know which side of him you’re gonna see. The character development is outstanding, and damn believable. So bravo!
And of course, I just have to mention what a joy it is to write a scene with him. The Help Wanted scene at the mall with Creed, Gambit and Wanda was just a blast to write!

Creed's the kind of guy you love to hate, and those are the best villains. The almost gleeful way he thrives on antagonizing everyone (especially in OOC) is great fun to read. I think my personal favorites are the exchanges between he and Nick Fury during the SHIELD affair.

I'm not even sure what I can say that wouldn't be a repeat of the two reviews above. It's too often now - thanks to the movie and Evo, both of which portrayed Creed as a muscular hairy idiot - that you'll see Sabretooths who are walking masses of pure testosterone and fur, and they are always, always dumb. They kill, they insult Logan, they get their asses kicked yet always survive to fight another day Teh End.
And yeah, ok. Some of the stuff I've just said is present in our Creed. But he's not stupid, which is a great return to the version of Creed I've always liked the most. He's sort of started to struggle with the animal inside of him, but he's still coasting with it rather then fighting, but the reason he's trying at all is because of love. Which is amazing. He's well written, entirely in character but he's growing in ways that I know Marvel would never let him do.
So yeah, great job.

Whatta friggin' jerk.
No, Guido summed it up best. There are villains that you hate, and there are villains that you love to hate. There is something so horrible about Creed the way he is played here, that it tickles me.
I read his posts and they just make me laugh. I'm thinking in particular about a fight scene between Logan and Creed where Creed hocked a bloody loogie and spat it in Logan's face.
That's good fun there!

So much love for Creed right now...in a OMG HATE kinda way, ha.
Just the way he's sort of, by himself, taking this little throw-away scene and made a big plot out of it, I think it's awesome, and all of his posts have been so powerful, I think you can really empathise with him - not all the way to killing people, obviously, but the way he feels.
Loving it all, very very well done lately.

This really pains me to write, considering his most recent actions, but the way they were written warrants much praise.
Sabretooth is one of those characters that I just love to hate. He's cruel, a murderer, but there is so much more to him than that. This is what makes him an interesting character.
Most recently, it's his actions that make him a monster, but the emotions and motivations behidn them that make him human. It's a fine line to walk, but it's played out brilliantly here.
