History
Born into an aristocracy that had come to an end, Kraven becameone of the world's greatest hunters to fulfill his sense of lost nobility. But he became bored and wanted a different kind of trophy on his wall. The trophy was Spider-man's head. Kraven gained power by drinking rare and exotic jungle elixirs. These elixirs gave him the strength and speed of a savage beast-- all the better to catch Spider-man with.
Kraven eventually was driven insane, believing that Spider-Man is his own personal demon that has haunted him and his family for their entire lives. In order to exorcise that demon, Kraven believed he had to not only triumph over the Spider, but to successfully re-place him.
To this end Kraven drugged Spider-Man, buried him alive for two weeks, and then donned Spidey's costume to take his place. After beating Vermin, something Spider-man was not able to dowithout the aid of Captain America. Spider-man eventually clawed out from his grave and attacked Kraven. But Kraven did not retaliate because he believed he had beaten his own demons. He then made peace with Spider-Man and with himself, (and released Vermin onto the streets) and used a rifle to take his own life.
A new Kraven supposedly appeared to menance Spider-Man's life, but it turned out to be the Chameleon, in an insane fit disguising himself as Kraven and claiming to be his brother.
