Sergei Kravinoff, Kraven the Hunter, is a man who seeks one thing: a final peace. Revived at the hands of his family during the events of ''Grim Hunt'', Kraven has sought to return to the death he brought himself to in ''ComicBook/KravensLastHunt''. Having created a son thanks to the High Evolutionary, Kraven sought out to collect numerous animal-themed supervillains to teach them to respect the animals they garb themselves as. Teaming up with Arcade, the creator of Death Traps, and Black Ant and Taskmaster who are dispatched to collect the animal-themed rogues from across the Marvel menagerie, well known-and-obscure, all to trigger the greatest hunt ever. And with our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man stuck in the middle, it's now hunt or be... Hunted, all the while Peter's sicker than he's been for a long time.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Kraven realizes he's been the monster the entire time and that he had a family he loved and he let them die.]]

* YourMindMakeItReal: [[spoiler:The hunter drones are operated via virtual reality visor worn by the user. While the operators are initially led to believe they are safe as long as they aren't actually near the villains, issue #20 reveals that the visors are wired directly into their brains. In other words, if the drones are destroyed their operators die.]]

* NoHonorAmongThieves: Despite the two working together to capture the animal-themed villains for Kraven, Taskmaster betrays Black Ant and turns him over to Kraven to be used as one of the hunted.

* CharacterWitness: In the buildup to the arc Spider-Man basically abandoned Rhino to be collected by Taskmaster and Black Ant when his rampage seemingly buried Aunt May under some rubble. The Rhino later calls him out of this as Spidey's trying to warn the villains not to trust the Vulture.

* UndressingTheUnconscious: After being beaten unconscious by Kraven's cloned son, Peter wakes up to find himself in Central Park and is costume has been changed to his old black costume (Kraven is intentionally trying to recreate the events of ''ComicBook/KravensLastHunt'', where Spider-Man used his black costume).

* AdultFear:
** Billy's fate in the park is entirely filled with this.
*** Issue #21 reveals that [[spoiler:Billy also remembers his gruesome fate at the hands of his dad.]]
** Also in the case of Spider-Man, when he goes nuts and beats up a Kraven drone only to be stopped by Black Ant [[spoiler:who points out that the drones are synchronized to the real-operators, and that he came close to accidentally killing him]].

* RousseauWasRight: Spider-Man's [[spoiler:closing argument to Kraven about his social darwinist crap. His entire plot and idea is to cater and enable people's worst impulses so as to convince Spider-Man to give in and break bad, but Spider-Man instead shows that even in the worst situations people like Dr. Connors, Black Cat, and others can rise above and prove their innate goodness. Kraven ultimately agrees and out of horror and disgust at his monstrous crimes he arranges for his murder-suicide at the hands of his cloned son]].

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Vermin [[spoiler:used as a pawn in Lizard's scheme to infiltrate the dome, proves to be more mindful than he lets on and tells Arcade that the Lizard and Taskmaster duped him and Kraven. This alerts Arcade who tells his goons to find Taskmaster]].

* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler:Kraven's son becomes Kraven the Hunter II.]]

** Rhino getting captured by Black Ant and Taskmaster is a halfway example; he may have been a Supervillain, but he was on decent terms with Spider-Man beforehand and the fact Spidey apparently just leaves him to his fate leaves him feeling genuinely betrayed.
