Spider-Man Symbolism: What 10 Famous Villains Really Mean

5. Kraven The Hunter - Emphasises Spider-Man Isn't "Normal"

Sergei Kravinoff AKA Kraven the Hunter is a big game hunter who makes a sport out of catching the most elusive prey there is to catch. When it comes to wild animals, you name it, he's caught them all. However, when he learned of the existence of Spider-Man, he set out to catch the absolute flagship trophy of his hunting life - the Webbed Wonder himself. As Peter Parker attempts to go about his daily life as normally as possible for the sake of his loved ones, the fact that he is being hunted by someone who normally hunts beasts really slams home the fact that he is far from normal. Kraven evidently views Parker as a beast, an animal, or even a monster, and that ensures that the hero knows that some people will never accept him as a normal man.
