Kraven the Hunter is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics . The character first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #15 (August 1964), and was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko.

Sergei Kravinoff is a maniacal big game hunter known as Kraven the Hunter who seeks to defeat Spider-Man to prove that he is the greatest hunter in the world. Unlike other hunters, he typically disdains the use of guns or bow and arrows, preferring to take down large dangerous animals with his bare hands, even though he often makes elaborate preparations to weaken a quarry beforehand. He also uses a mystical serum to give him similar strength to Spider-Man , but even without the serum he is a threat to the wall-crawler. Spider-Man proves a frustrating quarry because Kraven continually underestimates the superhero's resourcefulness. Kraven finally completes his ultimate objective in the acclaimed 1987 storyline by J. M. DeMatteis and Mike Zeck, "Kraven's Last Hunt" and, having no further goals, commits suicide.

Kraven later returns as a ghost in the graphic novel Amazing Spider-Man : Soul of the Hunter

In 2009, Kraven was ranked as IGN's 53rd Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time.
