The son of a Russian aristocrat, Sergei Kravinoff immigrated to the United States with his family in 1917 after the February Revolution and the fall of Tsar Nicholas II's rule devastated the Russian nobility.
Kraven is a crazy big game hunter who wants to show that he is the best hunter in the world by defeating Spider-Man. In contrast to other hunters, he usually dislikes the use of firearms or bows and arrows and instead prefers to use his bare hands to kill enormous, dangerous creatures. He also chooses to hunt his game fairly, living by a code of honor.
He uses a magical serum to significantly slow down the aging process and give himself more strength. A mystery mercenary named Gregor, who had previously fought Ka-Zar, was a major influence in Kraven's hunter training. Kraven formerly dated Calypso, a voodoo priestess.
