* DumbassNoMore: Sabretooth was not portrated as a dumbass even before this series (that would come later), but this is probably the most cunning and capable incarnation of Creed in the character's entire history. Far from just using his wits to screw with Wolverine, this Sabretooth outsmarts the entire Weapon X program, and even after being recaptured and tamed with loyalty implants he still always has the upper hand. In the final issue, he accomplishes what is probably the most impressive noggin-joggin feat of his whole career, [[spoiler:getting the better of Mr. Sinister]].
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: A major theme of this volume. Garrison Kane and Wild Child both look wildly different from their previous incarnations, to the point that readers only familiar with them as they looked before would find it hard to even recognize them, and characters such as Marrow and Chamber are given makeovers that also drastically redesign their appearances as rewards for joining the program.

Weapon X vol 2 was published June 2002 with writing by Frank Tieri and art by Georges Jeanty.
The series follows the adventures of the newly revamped ''Weapon X'' program which is under leadership of a ruthless new Director who has his own personal agenda against mutants while employing what mutants he can to work against their own kind to further his ambitions, but said mutants also have ambitions of their own -be it power, status, or revenge.
One of their first & biggest orders of business is to reign in the rebellious rogue, ''{{ComicBook/Sabretooth}}'', who has made fools of the organization on more than one occasion. With his skills being too good to waste, the Director just makes sure he has enough inhibitors to be kept in line.
----
!!The second volume provides examples of the following tropes:
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Sabretooth when the Director questions him on the brutalization that took place at his hands.
--> '''Sabretooth:''' I'm afraid you're gonna have to be a little more specific doc --I brutalize a lot of people.
* ForcedToWatch: Wild Child, after he & Aurora fall into Sabretooth's trap. He forces Wild Child into a corner and brutalizes Aurora, warning him that he will kill her should be get involved. He continues his assault while telling Wild Child to beg for her life if he cares for her.
* ItsPersonal: Marrow's vendetta against Sabretooth for his part in the Morlock Massacre.
* LoveMartyr: Aurora for Director Malcolm. She's suffered her own mental issues, but she is heavily fixated on the director for no explained reason. He's a {{Jerkass}} on a good day, and his facial disfigurement doesn't make him the most handsome man. Marrow even asks her what's up with the booty-shaking at him, and wondering if her eyes have been damaged in some way.
* SleepingWithTheBoss: Aurora and Director Malcolm.
* TookALevelInBadass: Marrow went from being afraid of Sabretooth as a little girl to giving him a challenge in their face-off.
* UnholyMatrimony: Aurora & Malcolm who eventually buy a house and live together as a couple, which goes well for a while and turns sour in a big way.
* WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHimBack: Zigzagged with Aurora. Malcolm abused her brutally but when he comes back to get her & leave the Weapon X program for good, she agrees to go. Which seems to put this trope into play, until she gives him a taste of karma and double-crosses him and leaves him for dead.
Weapon X vol 2 was published June 2002 with writing by Frank Tieri and art by Georges Jeanty.
The series follows the adventures of the newly revamped ''Weapon X'' program which is under leadership of a ruthless new Director who has his own personal agenda against mutants while employing what mutants he can to work against their own kind to further his ambitions, but said mutants also have ambitions of their own -be it power, status, or revenge.
One of their first & biggest orders of business is to reign in the rebellious rogue, ''{{ComicBook/Sabretooth}}'', who has made fools of the organization on more than one occasion. With his skills being too good to waste, the Director just makes sure he has enough inhibitors to be kept in line.

!!The second volume provides examples of the following tropes:
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Sabretooth when the Director questions him on the brutalization that took place at his hands.
--> '''Sabretooth:''' I'm afraid you're gonna have to be a little more specific doc --I brutalize a lot of people.
* ForcedToWatch: Wild Child, after he & Aurora fall into Sabretooth's trap. He forces Wild Child into a corner and brutalizes Aurora, warning him that he will kill her should be get involved. He continues his assault while telling Wild Child to beg for her life if he cares for her.
* ItsPersonal: Marrow's vendetta against Sabretooth for his part in the Morlock Massacre.
* LoveMartyr: Aurora for Director Malcolm. She's suffered her own mental issues, but she is heavily fixated on the director for no explained reason. He's a {{Jerkass}} on a good day, and his facial disfigurement doesn't make him the most handsome man. Marrow even asks her what's up with the booty-shaking at him, and wondering if her eyes have been damaged in some way.
* SleepingWithTheBoss: Aurora and Director Malcolm.
* TookALevelInBadass: Marrow went from being afraid of Sabretooth as a little girl to giving him a challenge in their face-off.
* UnholyMatrimony: Aurora & Malcolm who eventually buy a house and live together as a couple, which goes well for a while and turns sour in a big way.
* WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHimBack: Zigzagged with Aurora. Malcolm abused her brutally but when he comes back to get her & leave the Weapon X program for good, she agrees to go. Which seems to put this trope into play, until she gives him a taste of karma and double-crosses him and leaves him for dead.
