Season 2[]

Kraven first arrived in New York and started to antagonize White Tiger from afar. His first was during a training session with her group, in which he caused her to act chaotic and run rampant. However, White Tiger was not easily fooled and knew he was behind it. During her attacks on New York, her team chased after her. However, Kraven appeared before the group and defeated Nova and Iron Fist with a knockout dart. As Power Man moved in to attack him, Kraven easily took him out with his knockout gas. He soon stole the White Tiger Amulet but was transformed into a humanoid tiger. White Tiger and Spider-Man removed it and White Tiger almost finished Kraven, but Spider-Man stopped her.

He was later hired to be part of the Sinister Six where he fought White Tiger but was defeated by Power Man and jailed in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Tricarrier.

Sometime later, the imprisoned Sinister Six members were sprung from Ryker's Island and equip them with high-tech armor made from stolen Oscorp technology. Kraven is given a lion-themed armor with razor-sharp mechanical claws. Kraven fights Spider-Man and then White Tiger once again. He also assists in the group's gang assault on Iron Patriot. During all the chaos, Spider-Man was able to defeat Kraven along with the other Sinister Six members.

Season 3[]

Kraven teams up with Taskmaster in a plan to lure Ka-Zar to New York by kidnapping Zabu so that Taskmaster can recruit Ka-Zar to his side. During Taskmaster and Kraven's fight with Spider-Man, Ka-Zar, and Wolverine, Kraven uses a dart with a special poison in it on Spider-Man which transforms him into the Man-Spider. Upon being pursued to Manhattan by Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Ka-Zar, Kraven seeks to perform a ritual to become immortal by sacrificing Zabu at sunset (with the ritual occurring once every thousand years) while Taskmaster plans to get Ka-Zar on his side. With help from Wolverine who deals with Taskmaster, Spider-Man and Ka-Zar defeat Kraven who tries to knock Zabu off the bridge only for Spider-Man and Ka-Zar to catch Zabu before he can fall into the river. Kraven is later arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D.

In "Contest of Champions" Pt. 1, Grandmaster pairs up Kraven the Hunter with Molten Man and Wendigo King in the game of "Last Man Standing" against Collector's team of Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Hulk during. Kraven the Hunter coordinated Molten Man and Wendigo in the battle while using some of his traps. When chased by Hulk, Kraven used a special pollen that knocked out Hulk removing him from the game. After Spider-Man did tricks that removed Wendigo King and Molten Man from the game, Spider-Man engaged Kraven the Hunter and eventually defeating him allowing Collector to score the first victory against the Grandmaster.
