External Media Background

Comic Book Lore

Kraven the Hunter is one of the most ruthless and uncompromising adversaries of Spider-Man in the comic books. He is dedicated to a fault when it comes to hunting, and he will stop at nothing to catch any prey he deems worthy to kill.

As an exceptional and dedicated hunter, Kraven has always sought out a worthy prey that can challenge him in every aspect of his being. This ultimately led him to believe that Spider-Man is the very creature he was born to hunt.

Although he has no outstanding superpowers, Kraven is blessed with a strong physique and disciplined mind that renders even the most skilled warriors incapacitated after engaging him in combat.
