Kraven the Hunter by Green-Mamba
A famous big game hunter who became a mercenary and later developed an intense obsession with restoring honor to his name, Sergei Kravinoff, also known as Kraven the Hunter, has been known as a major threat for Spider-Man and as a founding member of Oscorp Industries' premiere superhuman team: the Sinister Six. He was originally hired by Dr. Miles Warren to capture several escaped Cross-Species mutates and eliminate them in order to keep Oscorp's illegal experiments quiet from the public, but then engaged into combat with Spider-Man when one of the hero's companions got involved as one of Kraven's targets. Kraven was defeated in the following battle and was recovered by Oscorp's agents along with the other escaped mutates, with the hunter subsequently developing a mad fixation on Spider-Man that he feels can only be satiated by hunting down and slaughtering the hero in the inevitable final hunt between them.
Kraven has since gone on to become a Cross-Species himself by injecting a combination of lion, leopard, and cheetah DNA into his bloodstream thanks to Oscorp's experiments.
