Who is Kraven the Hunter?

Ana Kravinoff is the daughter of the original Kraven the Hunter, Sergei Kravinoff, raised and conditioned from childhood to be a ruthless predator. Enhanced by the same Calypso Serum that empowered her father, she possesses superhuman physical abilities and eventually had latent Inhuman genes activated by Terrigen Mists.

There's a name that carries real weight in Marvel's rogues' gallery, and this particular incarnation of Kraven the Hunter stepped onto the scene in 2008's Spider-Man: Kraven's First Hunt, brought to life by the sharp creative team of Marc Guggenheim and Phil Jimenez. A Modern Age predator with roots tangled deep in Spider-Man's world, this Kraven has prowled the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man and Sinister War across nearly two decades, sharing those dangerous corners of the Marvel Universe with the likes of Spider-Man, Anastasia Kravinoff, and Electro. With a key issue already to their name and 26 catalog appearances spanning 2008 to 2025, this is a character whose legacy in the hunt is still very much being written — essential reading for any Spider-Man devotee who loves their villains with legacy and menace baked in.
