number 15 and was expanded upon in
Cravens last hunt issue number 294
sergei kravinoff is the half-brother of
dmitry kravinoff also known as the
chameleon born into a Russian
aristocracy that had come to an end as a
result of the Bolshevik Revolution
Sergei and his sibling found themselves
as orphans on the run unlike Dmitry who
turned his knack for mimicry into a
criminal profession
Sergei trained himself to become the
world’s fiercest hunter due to his
desire to regain his lost sense of
nobility
unlike other hunters Sergei known simply
as Kraven sought purity in the kill this
means that he would use his bare hands
knives and Spears to defeat his targets
rather than resort to the use of ranged
weapons such as guns or arrows becoming
notorious and extremely wealthy Kraven
soon stumbled upon a witch doctor that
possessed a mystical potion which grants
superhuman abilities blinded by the need
for a new sense of excitement Kraven
stole the potion developing superhuman
strength the ability to run at speeds up
to 60 miles per hour unflinching stamina
agility uncanny reflexes and reduced
agent delving into the ivory and animal
skin trade years passed before Kraven
became bored of all the usual prey
coinciding with his desire for a new
challenge
his brother tasked him with hunting
spider-man Kraven accepted the proposal
recognizing the crimefighter as the most
dangerous game of all under estimating
spider-man’s resourcefulness the
maniacal game hunter was regularly
defeated and overcome with frustration
as a result he slowly lost his sanity
and eventually resorted to using a gun
to defeat his
shooting spider-man he unwittingly
buried the hero alive
before developing a new obsession this
consisted of transforming himself into
an even greater Spider Man than his
fallen adversary donning a black version
of the Spider Man costume Kraven sought
out and captured vermin one of Spidey’s
minor enemies meanwhile spider-man dug
himself out of the grave and confronted
his deranged impersonator proclaiming
that his hunting days are over and that
he had achieved everything that he
desired Kraven ended his own life
despite this event the character was
resurrected by his wife marking his
return as a regular foe of spider-man
