Kraven the Hunter

Kraven the Hunter (Sergei Kravinoff; Russian: Сергей Кравинофф) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Debuting in The Amazing Spider-Man issue #15 (August 1964) as an adversary to the superhero Spider-Man, he has since endured as one of web-slinger's most formidable foes, and is part of the collective of adversaries that make up Spider-Man's rogues' gallery. Kraven has since come into conflict with other heroes, such as Black Panther and Tigra. He is also the half-brother of the Chameleon, and one of the founding members of the supervillain team, the Sinister Six.
In Kraven's first appearance, he refers to Spider-Man as "the most dangerous game", a direct reference to the 1924 short story of the same name, in which General Zaroff, a Russian big game hunter (and a primary inspiration for the character), hunts people as sport.
Kraven is typically portrayed as a renowned big-game hunter whose goal in life is to beat Spider-Man to prove himself as the world's greatest hunter. Though he is often overconfident in his own abilities, which he likes to boast about, he possesses a great sense of honor, and treats his adversaries as equals until proven otherwise. Because of this, Kraven has sometimes been depicted as an antihero and has teamed up with other heroes, including Spider-Man, the Avengers of 1959, and Squirrel Girl, in The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl (2015–2019).
The character is widely regarded as one of Spider-Man's most formidable enemies, and has gained considerable attention from storylines such as 1987's "Fearful Symmetry: Kraven's Last Hunt," 2010's "Grim Hunt", 2015–2019's "The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl's Friend Kraven", and 2019's "Hunted". In 2009, Kraven was ranked as IGN's 53rd-greatest comic book villain of all time. The character has appeared in numerous Spider-Man media adaptations over the years including animated series and video games. Kraven made his cinematic debut in the Spider-Verse film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023), depicted as a prisoner of the Spider-Society, while Aaron Taylor-Johnson will star as the character in the Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU) film Kraven the Hunter (2023).

* Kraven appears in Marvel's Spider-Man: Webbed Champion, voiced by Troy Baker. His story in the show remains the same from the Canon version of the show, and is followed by a new role in the Fanon version. He is mentioned three times in "On the Tiger's Claws", first when is it revealed that Kraven had once hunted Mary Jane Watson in her first superhero days as Tigra, but failed miserably, resulting on Kraven losing his left eye and right arm. It is also mentioned that, after the Hobgoblin incident, Tigra defeated Kraven again. And this time, she exposed him as a Hydra operative, resulting in his show "Kraven's Amazing Hunt" being cancelled, and Kraven becoming a wanted fugitive. It is later mentioned and revealed that J. Jonah Jameson was the one who hired Kraven to hunt down Gwen Stacy and Norman Osborn when they were both mutated into Man-Spiders in "Spider-Island, Part 3". He makes an appearance in "Seeds of Life", where he assists Whitney Frost / Madame Masque in breaking Doctor Octopus out of prison and brainwashing him as her servant. He and Osborn (as the Green Goblin) later attempt to ambush Spider-Man in the Hydra Base, but they are stopped and incapacitated by Stormranger, and Kraven is defeated in combat by Black Panther. He is later seen arrested along with Frost, Osborn, and the remaining Hydra operatives.
**Kraven makes a brief appearance in Marvel's Princesses of Destiny Issue #1: "The Tiger's Hunt". He appears in a flashback, on which he is defeated by Mary Jane Watson / Tigra, who blinds his left eye with her claws.
*Kraven appears as an antagonist in Marvel: All New, All Different Chronicles, voiced by Phil Morris.
*Kraven appears as a playable character in Marvel Superhero Adventures: Intergalactic Grand Prix, voiced by Jim Pirri. One of the supervillains participating the titular racing tournament hosted by the Grandmaster, Kraven owns two karts: the Iron Cheetah (a motorcycle based on a Honda Trail125 with details and colors of a cheetah) and the Grim Hunter (a zebra-colored quad bike with a lion head in the front). He also holds a grudge with Deadpool.
**Kraven returns in the sequel Sonic and Marvel Superheroes: Multiverse Speedstorm, voiced again by Jim Pirri.
