Read more about Sabra at: Wikipedia Official Site: Marvel Comics Sabra is the alias of Ruth Bat-Seraph, a fictional character published by Marvel Comics. Sabra made a cameo appearance in Incredible Hulk vol. 1 #250 (August 1980) but first fully appeared in Incredible Hulk vol. 1 #256 (February 1981) and was created by Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema. Belinda Glass came up with the name and concept of the character. "Sabra" means both a native of Israel and a kind of prickly pear. Ruth Bat-Seraph was born near Jerusalem, Israel. Raised on a special kibbutz run by the Israeli government after her power manifests, Ruth was the first superhuman agent created to serve the Mossad (the Israeli secret service). She becomes a police officer in addition to serving as a government agent. Her first public act as Sabra is to battle the Hulk, whom she mistakenly believes is working with Arab terrorist operating in Israel. Not long after that, Sabra is chosen as a pawn of Death in the latter's game against the Grandmaster. There, she meets Iron Man and the Arabian Knight and battled She-Hulk and Captain Britain. She later appeared at the Hulk's amnesty ceremony in Washington, D.C. Some years later, Sabra's young son is killed in a terrorist attack. She disobeys orders in order to bring her son's killers to justice. A dispute with the Hulk again would be intensified as Sabra's powers had temporarily robbed him of his voice, making it seem as if he is still a near-mindless monster. She fights the Hulk, but the two work through their differences and attempt to search for a child who was foretold to become a genocidal maniac, while contending with Achilles of the Pantheon, who was sent to kill the boy.
Sabra has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
