Kraven the Hunter, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

The Sergei Kravinoff of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is dying, and he wants to go out not in a hospital bed, but by the hands of a real equal. In New York, he hopes to find someone up to the challenge: if not one of the villains who terrorize New York on a recurring basis, then maybe one of the two Spider-Men that protect the city. Instead, he finds his worthy opponent in an equally dying Harry Osborn, who just got his Symbiote back and is still pissed that Kraven nearly killed his friend. Death by alien cannibal isn’t entirely how we thought Mr. Kravinoff would go out, but he was a good pair of boss fights, and it was fun to have him while he was around. And if nothing else, he taught us to really master those parry windows.
