10 Most Powerful Marvel Characters Kraven The Hunter Fought

1. Spider-Man - The Amazing Spider-Man #15

This was always going to be the top of this list. Kraven's arch-nemesis, the one that got away, has always been Spider-Man - and from his debut in 1964 to now, the hunter and his prey have been in an endless back-and-forth, with Kraven viewing the ever-elusive Spider-Man as his ultimate challenge.

On paper, Spider-Man is Kraven's ideal quarry. Fast, agile, and near-impossible to take by surprise, Spider-Man combines his superhuman abilities with his natural resourcefulness to confound Kraven's most intricate traps. It's no wonder that Kraven chose Spider-Man as his first costumed foe.

Kraven has hunted Spider-Man countless times, and even bested him on a couple of occasions - although Spider-Man has always bounced back. But what makes their rivalry special is how many times Spider-Man has turned the tables on Kraven, and hunted the Hunter instead.

Tracking down the Sinister Six in Spider-Man Vol.1 #20, and even forcing Kraven to run down memory lane by using his Last Hunt against him in Amazing Spider-Man Vol.5 #33, Spider-Man is one of the only heroes who has ever put Kraven in the role of prey - making him an obvious pick for Kraven's greatest challenge.
