Scorpion (Formerly)

**Kraven the Hunter** (known simply as **Kraven**, real name: **Sergei Kravinoff**) is a famous hunter who came to New York to hunt down Spider-Man.

## **History**

**Text that are bold are canon-in-training and may or may not be part of the actual show.**

Sergei Kravinoff comes from a family of Russian hunters. **He previously worked as a guide in Africa until he was attacked by a lion. However, he was saved by his lover, the Voodoo witch doctor, Calypso Ezili, using a potion that restored his health and enhanced his abilities. Because of the potion's effects, Sergei, now known as Kraven, became highly skilled hunter. Because of this,** he came to host a television show called "Kraven's Amazing Hunt" in which he is shown capturing the world's strongest beasts. Most of his equipment come from places that he mentions on his show.

After being hired by Norman Osborn to capture Spider-Man, Kraven went to New York to catch him where he started out by having Scorpion lure them to the site of his TV show. When he was embarassed by both Spider-Men, Kraven ignored his orders and tried to kill them. Seeing Kraven wasn't obeying his orders, Norman sent Vulture to neutralize him and capture Spider-Man.

Spider-Man and Kraven were brought to a secret hideout and restrained, but they were both saved by the second Spider-Man, who used his new camouflage powers to release them and destroy the place. Kraven the Hunter got away after that as both Spider-Men will be ready if he returns.
