Villains With Potential-Kraven the Hunter

So, he's back.

That's the reason I'm doing this one, because the original is back, and regardless of what you thought of the storyline in question, this Kraven is a much, much different animal when compared to Kraven Jr., Baby Kraven, Kraven-Sue, Mamma Kraven or any other extraneous Kraven-lite.

However, I'll be handing the bulk of today's discussion off to the ever-entertaining Mindless Ones, as they've said pretty much what should be said about the gentleman in question. Read it first.

Back? Good. That is what Kraven should be, in a nutshell. The ultimate hunter, the ultimate predator. He stalks deities, demons, devils and do-gooders for fun. He's wealthy, influential and ruthless to the core. Built to kill.

He should tangle with the X-Men (I hear Wolverine has some spare time), with Thor (Trolls, eh? Intriguing...), the Hand (Ninjas make good eatin'...) and the Thunderbolts (Welcome to my super-villain game preserve. At the count of 3, run...). He should hunt the Legion of Monsters and the Panther-God of Wakanda. He should trail Mindless Ones through the Dark Dimension and prowl the discordant reaches of Nightmare's realm.

With his feud with Spider-Man upped to new levels, let Kraven have some room to run. He's been dead for awhile. He needs his edge back. He needs to sharpen his claws on less challenging prey, say, for instance, the remaining Skrulls on Earth, or a certain wily space-raccoon.

Basically, let Kraven hunt.
