In this form, he fought Spider-Man many times, who managed to cure him of his condition almost every time.

When Spider-Man thwarts his plans to take over as crime boss of New York City, he dedicates himself to utterly destroying Spider-Man’s life after learning his secret identity is Peter Parker. Their mutual animosity becomes personal when he kills Gwen Stacy, Parker’s long-time girlfriend and first true love.

He was a founding member of the Sinister Six and when they were formed together again, the Hobgoblin replaced him. After Kraven died, his half-brother, the Chameleon, became so insane that he honestly thought he was Kraven himself.
