Dude, of course it's different. He's Doctor Octofreakingpus. And it's different to Kraven because he's not only impersonating Spider-Man, he's impersonating Peter. If you are right, and Slott's story isn't that different to what's happened before, then why are you getting so upset now?

Besides, all stories have a lot of similarities. Read up on Joseph Campbell's theories on "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" if you don't believe me. Yeah, this one is kinda similar to the stories you described, but it goes further and deeper and seems to bring out some heavy themes and emotions.

Look, anyone can do that similarity thing with anything. Like Batman and Harry Potter:

-Formerly innocent children. -Family members killed. -Often feel lonely because of their predicaments. -Spent some time training themselves. -Tries to set things right by bringing justice to the world -Deals with of evil wizards/criminals/supervillains, without going ahead and killing them.

Funnily enough, Spider-Man, among many other characters, also fits that description.
