Wrapping up Exiles Month is an Update on the big man himself, Victor Creed. In the ten years since his last update, the pendulum of Sabretooth has swung both ways. He actually became an Avenger (sort of) after an inversion spell magically imposed a conscience and empathy upon him. This didn't last, as the animalistic nature of Creed's instincts continually dragged him back towards predatory behavior. He became the first criminal of Krakoa, perhaps unjustly condemned for crimes invented after his acts, and sentenced to the Pit of Exile. By shaping the Pit with his mind, Victor Creed became the figurative Lord of Hell for other prisoners until he manipulated them into helping him escape. Now free of Krakoa and building a power base of his own, Sabretooth will inevitably return to threaten the mutant nation as its prodigal son.

Welcome to Exiles Month, a celebration of Krakoa's Most Wanted! The month begins with Chris Colchiss, a young mutant just trying to find his place in the world. The new Melter led a twisted team of Young Avengers who quickly rebranded themselves as the Young Masters during Dark Reign. His efforts at heroism failed, and Melter turned to outright super-villainy as a legacy foe for Iron Man's rogues gallery. With the rise of Krakoa, he tried to demonstrate his worth to Xavier's dream, only to be cast into the Pit of Exile for violating the Three Laws. Melter now has a found family with the Exiles, but he remains impressionable and in search of a purpose in life.
