HistoryEdit
That's not him. That's not his scent. But his scent is here. This is his house.
- -- Kraven The Hunter
Sergei Kravinoff was an Australian and the host of his own reality show in which he hunted down dangerous animals.
He intended to hunt and kill Spider-Man on live TV in order to boost his ratings. But when he finally confronted Spider-Man, he was knocked out with a single punch (revealing that he was actually a fraud), only to be arrested by the police moments later.
His defeat was captured on live television, and, after this public humiliation, his show was cancelled.
In the Ultimate Six story arc, Kraven genetically tampered with his DNA, allowing him to become a gruesome werewolf-like monster in an attempt to get revenge on Spider-Man and try to revive his show.
This ended badly for him when he was arrested by the Ultimates for illegal genetic tampering before he could face Spider-Man. He was imprisoned with Electro, Sandman, Doctor Octopus, and the Green Goblin, Spider-Man's other genetically altered enemies.
After their escape, he joins them in a plot to regain their permanent freedom. Unfortunately, their plan fails and it ends with a big showdown between the Six and the Ultimates. Kraven, on the cusp of attacking Spider-Man, gets hit by one of Thor's thunderbolts in a moment of dramatic irony and is recaptured by S.H.I.E.L.D. He mentions that his battle with Spider-Man lost him his wife and job.
Death of Spider-Man
Sergei was freed from S.H.I.E.L.D. custody by Green Goblin as part of Osborn plan to kill Spider-Man. The Thinkerer gave him weapons and along Sandman, Vulture, Green Goblin and Electro went to Queens, there, they faced Human Torch and Iceman until Parker appeared. Kraven was knoked out when Spider-Man caused Electro go short cut.

Superhuman Agility: Kraven's agility, balance, and bodily coordination were enhanced to levels that were beyond the human body's natural limits.
