I’ve looked on Rhys’, Felicia Day’s, and Christian’s IMDb, and this thing is no where to be found! I feel like I’ve discovered some underground Rhys content! I saw other Aquabats fans posted it too.

I don’t get it! They don’t promote their show and related projects!

I think she found a bug- hopefully she killed it.

KRAVEN THE HUNTER Sergei Kravinoff

This blog article explores gamer-community ideas for a playable Marvel Contest of Champions Kraven character based on the literary figure of the same name.

Why Do We Care?

Though not as mainstreamed as the other major Spidey villains, Kraven is considered one of the best among Spider-Man’s rogues gallery. He has been frequently rumored to be material for an upcoming film.

Envisioning a Playable MCOC Kraven

Probable Class

He could be Skill, Science, or Mystic. 

Skill seems likely since he primarily relies on his hunting skills. But he amplifies his abilities by drinking a concoction—which sounds like Science. But as Diablo taught us, not all concoctions are Science-class. Kraven’s is made of some kind of mystical jungle herbs—which sounds like Mystic, unless those herbs fall in the same category as the heart-shaped herb Black Panther (Skill class) uses.

In a poll of 44 Summoners in October 2020, approximately 80% of those polled said he would be Skill, not Science or Mystic.

Likely and Plausible Playable Attributes

Attributes include durability, resilience, maybe learning and Defensive Ability Accuracy Reduction, and probably ranged weapons. His tracking and trapping skills might translate to debuffs like Slow or Root. Knives and blow darts could translate to Bleed and Poison damage-over-time debuffs. As a savage grappler and fighter, he could deal other debuffs like Fatigue, Concussion, or Dislocate.

He would be a perfect champ to experiment with area-of-effect abilities like Gas or Tangle, or his use of nets and traps could just translate to an Ensnare debuff. 

Kraven is also a skilled animal trainer, so his special attacks might feature wild cats or other animals under his command. 

His knowledge of medicine and occult potions and his immortality could give him some low-level Regeneration, or could mean that while he can be knocked-out, he rarely requires a Revive. Imaginejim’s Kraven build (see below) envisions Kravinoff immune to Fatigue, Exhaustion, and Weakness debuffs.

In November 2020, content creator imaginejim suggested Kabam incorporate up- and down-swipes into the game. A theoretical use for down-swipe: laying traps. Multiple Summoners thought Kraven’s kit would be good occasion for this trap-laying feature. Jim also imagines new debuffs called Hunted and Tranquilized.

Possible Synergies

The current champ in the game with whom Kraven may have the most in common is monster-hunter Elsa Bloodstone. One big-game hunter among future champs is Lady Hellbender, another, monster-hunter Hellsgaard. Other (potentially) Mystic class spider-hunters are the Inheritors Karn and Morlun. Further future pursuers include Inhuman hunter Lash, god-hunters Mangog, Desak, the Gorgon, and Gorr the God-Butcher, bounty hunters Death’s Head, Silver Sable, and Black Cat, and of course Korath the Pursuer. Other hunters include mutant-stalkers Caliban, Nimrod, and Omega Sentinel and most instances of Sentinel tech.

Fellow Spider-Man rogues include Rhino, Green Goblin, Electro, Venom, Beetle (Janice Lincoln), Boomerang, Hobgoblin, Lizard, Sandman, Scorpion, Shocker, Stilt-Man, Swarm, and the White Rabbit.

The other guy who drinks potions, in-game, would be Diablo (with whom imaginejim suggests a “Drinking Buddies” synergy). And again, Black Panthers are his fellow “Skill-class champs who drink a mysterious herbal potion that enhances their abilities.”

Ares, Arkon, Conan, Hercules, Ka-Zar, Kull, and Skull the Slayer are all fellow legendary men of skill who happen not to wear shirts.

Kraven in Other Games

He appears in numerous Spider-Man branded games. Kraven also appeared in Marvel Heroes, Marvel: War of Heroes, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, and current mobile games Marvel Future Fight and Marvel Puzzle Quest.

Kraven and Summoners

As of mid-February 2020, Kraven had nearly 350 mentions on the MCOC message boards (an apparent board search malfunction is hampering updates of this number). As of December 2020 he has over 180 mentions on the Wishlist 3.0 thread. He is perpetually in the top 10 (and sometimes top 5) of the MCOC Wishlist Poll, where as of December 2020, nearly 3,200 Summoners have voted.

October 21, 2020: Kabam Gabe says one of this date’s Wishlist top 10 is currently in development. Kraven was in the top 10 at that time, so Kraven is one of ten characters who might be currently in-development for MCOC.

February 14, 2020: Summoner Jim Cassidy Tweeted a 36-character grid of characters he’d like to see in the game. Kabam Gabe replied that “a bunch” of those characters are in development.

December 11, 2019: Content Creator KatyCandy16 requests Kraven for 2020.

November 23, 2019: Rich the Man speculates (incorrectly) Kraven sighting on-screen, speculates Kraven for 2020
