Kraven the Hunter

The story of Sergei Kravinoff, better known as Kraven the Hunter, is marked by violence, emotional neglect, and a relentless search for identity and purpose. From an early age, Kraven lived under the imposing shadow of his father, Nikolai Kravinoff—a ruthless gangster whose brutality and warped view of power deeply shaped young Sergei’s personality. This dysfunctional relationship not only fractured their family ties, but also planted in Kraven a seed of resentment and thirst for vengeance that would shape the course of his life.

The physical and psychological abuse inflicted by Nikolai left lasting scars. He taught his son that respect could only be earned through fear, and that the world belongs to predators, not prey. Kraven internalized this twisted philosophy, eventually transforming it into his own form of justice: to become the ultimate hunter—not only of wild beasts, but also of the most powerful and dangerous men on Earth.

Driven by a need to prove himself—both to the world and to himself—Kraven embarks on a bloody path full of physical and moral challenges. His ability to track, stalk, and eliminate his targets with near-animal precision turns him into a legendary figure. Yet beyond his physical prowess and killer instinct, what truly sets Kraven apart is his personal code: though brutal, he follows his own rules, often targeting criminals he deems unworthy of survival.
