Vladimir Kravinoff

Vladimir Kravinoff is the son of the infamous hunter Kraven the Hunter, inheriting his family's obsessive vendetta against Spider-Man. Drawn into the deadly legacy of the Kravinoff name, he operates in the dangerous world his father defined.

Born into the shadows of a legendary legacy, Vladimir Kravinoff stepped onto the Marvel stage in 1995, emerging from the fertile, morally complex storytelling of the Copper/Modern Age. His debut in Spider-Man #54 — crafted by Howard Mackie and Tom Lyle — immediately placed him in electrifying company: Spider-Man, Kaine, Madame Web, and figures carrying the fearsome Kravinoff name haunt the same pages. With appearances spread across both The Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man, Vladimir occupies a dark and intriguing corner of Spidey's world, and for collectors who love the tangled, dangerous threads woven through the mid-'90s Spider-Man era, he's a compelling piece of that brooding tapestry worth hunting down.
