Disney Vs Marvel Villains War

Hunting a Hunter

While hunting an antelope in Africa, Kraven witnesses a flare go off in the distance. The shot frightens away the antelope, enraging Kraven. He soon finds the source of the shot: Clayton, another hunter working in Africa. Furious at losing his prey, Kraven beats down Clayton with a massive kick. When Clayton tries to escape into the trees, Kraven follows, knocking Clayton down yet again. To seal the deal, Kraven ties up Clayton in vines, thinking them a fitting distraction for the armed Clayton. To Kraven's surprise and pleasure, Clayton accidentally hangs himself while trying to escape the vines.

The King of the Pridelands

While walking across the African savannah, Kraven catches sight of the lion, Scar. Thinking Scar would make a magnificent trophy, Kraven pursues Scar doggedly, only to learn that the lion has the loyalties of several dozen hyenas. Kraven manages to beat them back but is severely wounded in the process. Scar comes in to deal the finishing blow, but Kraven grabs the lion and tosses him off a cliff face. Though Scar survives, Kraven looks on, now determined to catch his prey.

Facing the Spider

Kraven joins forces with Doctor Octopus, permitting the doctor to mutate him into a lion-humanoid hybrid. Kraven returns to Africa briefly, encountering the powerful spider, Anansi. Kraven takes up two ibex horns as weapons and tears through most of Anansi's webs, only to get entangled in the thick of the web. Kraven builds up his rage and tears through Anansi's web, plunging the spider to the ground, where it dies.

The Fall of the Sinister Six

Kraven in the CG realm.

Doctor Octopus calls back Kraven to help defend Gen-U Tech Labs for the Green Goblin. This is undoubtedly a smart decision; the Pack attacks Gen-U Tech Labs with its full force. Kraven tries to help, brandishing twin elephant tusks. However, before he can cause any damage, Hyena knocks him out with a laser. Kraven is one of the few members of the Sinister Six to survive the battle, but he is witness to the demise of the Sinister Six and the Green Goblin's entire criminal empire.

Death in the Digital Realm

Later, Kraven had Calypso reverse his mutation following the defeat of the Sinister Six and the mutant Sabretooth offered to ally with them since the three of them were currently the last independent villains left. The meeting was interrupted by the arrival of Scar, Zira, and their Pride. As Zira took her revenge by mauling Sabretooth to death and Yzma repaid her debt by using a potion to turn Calypso into a tortoise, Scar and Kraven were digitized and brought into Xanatos's computer at the hands of Clayton's vengeful sister, Lady Waltham. Then, Waltham had her newest assistant, Owen, derez Scar since she didn't need him and then used the data to kill Kraven in the same way that Kraven killed her brother, hanging him.

Villains Battles 3

A Rather Quick Defeat

A hunter hired by Prince Phobos to eliminate King Scar of the Pride Lands, Kraven the Hunter manages to find Scar, who was unprepared for this assassination attempt and was cornered by the hunter. Kraven was about to succeed in killing Scar until two of his allies: the Grinch and the Red Guy came to the lion's aid. As Kraven successfully knocks down the Red Guy with a whip chord, the Grinch whips him, wounding him and giving Scar the opening he needed to attack the hunter. However, the hunter quickly grabbed him and tossed him to the ground face first. Before he could do anything else, the Grinch runs him over with his sledge and the Red Guy quickly sends him to a trapdoor leading to his possible death.
