LikeVenom , Kraven the Hunterwon’t be able-bodied to comprise Spider - Man , despite the fact that most laughable book storylines that involve Kraven are pore around Spider - Man as the supporter . This admit the rooter - best-loved " Kraven ’s Last Hunt " , which was a story of great importance for both eccentric . However , Spider - Man is n’t Kraven ’s only nemesis . The villain has also collide with Daredevil , Ka - Zar , and Tigra . The problem with these characters , though , is that the right for their prop lie down with Marvel Studios . Another Kraven foe is Scarlet Spider , but being a Spider - Man clone could rule out him as an option as well .
This means that aKravenfilm will most belike have to make usage of a fiber who share limited or even no history with the villain . Of course , Spider - Man has no deficit of supporting characters , but only a few fit the formula for aKravenmovie . The two who may be the best fit for the film are Puma and Man - Wolf . As both have animate being - similar qualities , they would be the stark prey for Kraven , whose only goal is to track down down and obliterate the most serious prey in the humankind .
Man - Wolfis the alter ego of astronaut John Jameson , the son of J. Jonah Jameson . Jameson was turn into a loup-garou after make out into contact with an other - dimensional gem . However , Kraven also created his own interlingual rendition of Man - Wolf using a exchangeable gemstone to make a new foe to hunt . This would be a more hardheaded way of introduce Man - Wolf that would n’t demand send out a character into outer space . Man - Wolf also has deep ties to Morbius the Living Vampire , allowing for potential universe crosswalk with theMorbiusmovie .
Puma , meanwhile , is a aboriginal American martial creative person and mercenary who can transform into a werecat . The character has been at odds with Spider - Man on legion occasions but is also an casual friend . As a mercenary , Puma has offered his services to Silver Sable and has some quixotic history with Black Cat . These connectedness could spread the door for Puma to appear inSilver & Blackas a love interest for Black Cat , a member of Silver Sable ’s Wild Pack , or both .
