History
Kraven el Cazador's early history on Earth-TRN911 apparently mimicks his Earth-616 counterpart.
Kraven el Cazador was a professional hunter and associate of super-criminal el Camaleón. El Camaleón, active in New York City and having trouble with superheroe Hombre Araña, contacted Kraven in an attempt to convince Kraven to hunt el Hombre Araña. Understanding el Hombre Araña's vigilantism M.O., Kraven arranged a robbery as a bait for el Hombre Araña, so that Kraven could study el Hombre Araña's skills. Kraven then confronted el Hombre Araña and used his drugs to weaken the hero. El Hombre Araña escaped, but he attached a tracer on Kraven to find him later - and indeed he found Kraven's lair in a forest near New York. El Hombre Araña confronted and defeated Kraven, only to find that it was el Camaelón impersonating Kraven. El Hombre Araña then tracked and found the real Kraven, overcoming him with his superior strenght and agility, and finally tying him in his web. The police found el Camelón and Kraven, and deported both of them.[2]
Kraven returned to America specificalyl to get revenge on el Hombre Araña,[4] apparently funded by el Duende Verde, a costumed criminal who used entrepreneur Norman Osborn as a middleman (Kraven did not know that Osborn was el Duende's secret identity).[3] To do this, he impersonated el Hombre Araña and attacked newspaper mogul J. Jonah Jameson, prompting the real Hombre Araña to find him to protect his own reputation. Kraven draws el Hombre Araña to an abandoned, bobby-trapped building, but el Hombre Araña still defeated Kraven. Again tied in el Hombre Araña's web, Kraven confessed his identity theft to the police, clearing el Hombre Araña's name.[4] Due to el Duende Verde's apparent death, Kraven was not paid for the operation.[3]
Wanting his payment, Kraven tracked Osborn, attacking his office and home, then tracking Osborn's son Harry, who was in a party with his friends, for kindapping and ransoming. Coincidentially, one of Harry's friends was Peter Parker, who secretly was also el Hombre Araña. Parker changed to el Hombre Araña's clothes and fought Kraven. During the fight, Norman Osborn appeared, and Kraven roped him to demand his money. Norman Osborn had psychological problems and failed to remember Kraven. Enraged, Kraven dropped Norman Osborn off a partially built skyscraper. El Hombre Araña rescued the victim, but Kraven escaped.[3]
El Hombre Araña searched for Kraven, but instead found (and was defeated by) another costumed criminal, el Buitre.[5] Kraven was furious at hearing this, as he thought el Buitre had stolen a victory from him. Following his twisted logic, Kraven decided to hunt and defeat el Buitre. While Kraven was fighting el Buitre, they were both found by el Hombre Araña. The two villains were unable to work together to defeat el Hombre Araña - Instead, Kraven used his tranquilizer rays to down el Buitre, and then was promptly defeated by el Hombre Araña.[6]
Even thou Kraven attracted people's attention and was the subject of several news reportages,[4][6] the general population of New York City was unfamiliar with his name and skills. This led to a new scheme of Kraven, in combination with a new asset: A liquid that weakened an enemy day after day, which was given to Kraven by a primitive man as a reward for helping that person's village. Kraven at first could not remember any enemy he could not defeat on his own - until he reminisced his own defeat (or defeats) at the hands of el Hombre Araña, which he narrated to the man.
Returning to New York City, Kraven appeared in public when el Hombre Araña was trying to stop bank robbers escaping in a car. Quickly, Kraven spred the liquid on el Hombre Araña, pretending to have been an accident, then spectacularly stopped the robbers in front of an audience. Kraven claimed to have reformed, now helping the common man against crime, and was cheered by the audience. El Hombre Araña, stunned by Kraven's drug, was instead booed by the crowds.[1]
Kraven re-appeared a few days later, giving time for the drug to weaken el Hombre Araña even more. Kraven humiliated el Hombre Araña again when chasing bandits who had stolen valuable jewelry from the Archaeological Museum: El Hombre Araña's spider sense had found the criminals, but he was so weak that one of them defeated him. Kraven then appeared and defeated the criminals, gaining the respect of the people and the police, as it had been his plans. Then, Kraven donned a costume to impersonate el Hombre Araña and rob a bank while shouting that el Hombre Araña had been a criminal for a long time. However, the real Hombre Araña had recovered from the effects of the liquid simply by washing his face with a fountain's water. Reinvigorated, el Hombre Araña fought Kraven. Kraven tried to prepare more liquid, but in the fight, el Hombre Araña caused the liquid to land on Kraven's face. Gaining the upper hand, el Hombre Araña unmasked the impostor and the crowd saw it had been Kraven. El Hombre Araña predicted that Kraven will spend little time in jail because he had helped the police against several criminals. Meanwhile, Kraven could not understand how el Hombre Araña recovered, feeling only growing fear and resentment.[1]Attributes

Beyond traditional hunting gear (knives, ropes, etc.), Kraven used a number of drugs with different effects, including a debiliting serum[2] and a more potent liquid that weakened an enemy even more every passing moment - after several days, the person was unable to move. Surprisingly, this serum could be cleaned simply by washing the stained skin with water.[6] Another of Kraven's serum cancelled el Hombre Araña's spider sense.[4]
Kraven also had a double-barrelled tranquilizer ray[3] that was powerful enough to defeat el Buitre.[6]
