Whatever happened to Team X?

The last mission of Team X makes a lot more sense when you put it in chronological order.

Panels variously from: X-Men (1991) #5-7, Wolverine (1988) #60

From Wolverine’s perspective: Sabretooth snapped and killed an innocent woman because he panicked in a desperate scenario.

From Sabretooth’s perspective: Sabretooth as team leader put the safety of his team first in a no-win situation where they had bad intel and significant complications to the mission.
