Following Insomniac’s much-anticipated Marvel's Spider-Man 2, fans are eager to see the roster of new villains that this game promises to deliver. Much excitement exists around the inclusion of Kraven the Hunter, depicted in-game as the leader of a faction of mercenaries called the “Hunters.” While Kraven is now regarded as a fan-favorite, it hasn’t always been this way. First appearing in Stan Lee and Steve Ditko’s The Amazing Spider-Man #15 in 1964, the antagonist was less menacing than something of a joke. A Tarzan-esque big game hunter pursuing the biggest game of all (in his eyes, Spider-Man), Kraven’s power set was underwhelming, his costume ludicrous, and his motives flimsy at best. Even after appearing as a member of Doctor Octopus’s original iteration of the Sinister Six in Lee and Ditko’s The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1, the villain failed to present himself as a substantial threat.
