Kraven The Hunter

The Story: Born into an aristocracy that had come to an end, Kraven became one of the world's greatest hunters to fulfill his sense of lost nobility. But he became bored and wanted a different kind of trophy on his wall.The trophy was Spider-mans head. Kraven gained power by drinking rare and exotic jungle elixirs. These elixirs gave him the strength and speed of a savage beast all the better to catch Spider-man with. After numerous battles Kraven finally defeated Spider-man and buried Spider-man alive, he then took Spider-mans black costume and started to live the life of the wall crawler. This was to prove that he was a better Spider-man than the original. He hunted and defeated the creature called Vermin, something Spider-man was not able to do without the aid of Captain America. Spider-man eventually clawed out from his grave and attacked Kraven. But Kraven did not retaliate because he had already won. Kraven released Vermin onto the streets, and Spider-man pursued the rodent. Convinced he had finally regained his honor, the deranged Kraven took his own life.
