10 Most Dangerous Spider-Man Villains

9. Kraven The Hunter

Green Goblin
Marvel Comics

Kraven is one of the most dangerous foes in Spider-Man's rogues' gallery due to the fact that he won't stop until he achieves his goal, and the man is basically a maniacal psychopath. Having hunted all the dangerous game in the world and finding himself lacking in prey, he settled on taking out the most dangerous game.

He wasn't going to just hunt some poor schmo on an island somewhere; no, Kraven opted to hunt the Spider-Man. He may have figured the animal associated made murder okay, but whatever his rationalization, the greatest hunter in the world set his sights on Spider-Man.

Kraven has come for Spidey many times, and in one story arc, he killed him. Well, maybe not *kill* kill him, but he did dose him with a major tranquilizer and buried him in a grave for a little while. When Spider-Man dug his way out, he found that Kraven had killed himself, having finished his hunt.

Of course, Kraven didn't stay dead for long, and he's arranged numerous hunts targeting both Spider-Man and any other related characters in the Marvel Universe. He's incredibly smart, stealthy, and deadly to anything or anyone he's targeted for a hunt.
