Kraven The Hunter
Kraven the Hunter (first appearance 1964) is unlike any other villain who has ever appeared in a movie, because he wants to track and defeat Spider-Man like an animal to prove that he is the world’s greatest hunter.
The son of a wealthy aristocrat (who had fled to America in 1917 after the Russian nobility was decimated by the February Revolution), Kraven grew up to become an obsessive big game hunter who, after having successfully hunted everything else there was to hunt, turned his attention to the Webbed Wonder.
In contrast to other hunters, Kraven prefers to take down his large and extremely dangerous prey with his bare hands, rather than using guns or bows and arrows – something he is capable of thanks to his use of a mystic serum which grants him superhuman strength, speed, senses, stamina, durability, agility, reflexes and longevity (putting him on a par with Spider-Man physically).
He does live by a code of honour of sorts, choosing to hunt his game at least somewhat fairly, but he is still extremely vicious and would be an awesome on-screen threat.
