This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

To a section: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject. For redirects to embedded anchors on a page, use {{R to anchor}} instead.

To a related topic: This is a redirect to an article about a similar topic.
- Redirects from related topics are different than redirects from related words, because a related topic is more likely to warrant a full and detailed description in the target article. If this redirect's subject is notable, then also tag it with {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}.

With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
- This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Wikipedia (use {{R with old history}} instead).

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-'''Grim Hunter''' is a [[fictional character]], a [[supervillain]] in [[Marvel Comics]]. He is the son of [[Kraven the Hunter]], the nephew of [[Chameleon (comics)|Chameleon]], the half-brother of [[Kraven the Hunter (Alyosha Kravinoff)|Alyosha Kravinoff]], and the brother of [[Kraven the Hunter (Ana Kravinoff)|Ana Kravinoff]]. His first appearance was in ''Spider-Man'' #47.
-==Fictional character biography==
-Vladimir Kravinoff was a son of Sergei Kravinoff, the infamous adversary of Spider-Man known as Kraven the Hunter. Unlike his illegitimate half-brother [[Kraven the Hunter (Alyosha Kravinoff)|Alyosha Kravinoff]] who was raised in shame in [[Africa]], Vladimir grew up in Russia benefiting from his father's wealth and luxuries. However, their father often neglected both sons while he pursued his various international quarries. Unaware of his siblings, Vladimir was raised by Sergei's servant, Gregor, who acted as a surrogate father teaching him Sergei's hunting techniques. When Vlad was still a boy, Sergei put his son through a rite of passage, hunting Vladimir while disguised as the fabled "Grim Hunter". Impressed by his son's abilities learned under Gregor, Sergei began to train Vlad personally.{{Issue|date=April 2010}}
-Vladimir Kravinoff took up the name "The Grim Hunter" and decided to hunt down Spider-Man and several of his foes. He only had one battle with Spider-Man, and his methods were nearly the same as his father's. He was briefly involved with the [[Hobgoblin (comics)|Hobgoblin]], even giving his identity of [[Jason Macendale]] his father's super strength formula which reacted to the anomalies in his bloodstream which gave him greater power. This is perhaps the reason why Vladimir became more powerful than his father when he took the treatment. When he got out of jail, he decided to track Spider-Man down again, only to fight the [[Scarlet Spider]] instead. [[Kaine]] (a clone of Spider-Man) arrived and after a confrontation, Vladimir was killed by the insane duplicate. On death's door, he staggered to Gregor falling in his arms and died shortly after that.<ref>''Spider-Man'' #55</ref>
-During ''[[The Gauntlet and Grim Hunt]]'' storyline, Sasha Kravinoff sacrifices [[Spider-Woman (Mattie Franklin)|Mattie Franklin]] as part of a revival ritual that resurrects Vladimir as a humanoid [[lion]] creature. Vladimir being revived as a humanoid lion was the result of Mattie not being a "pure spider."<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #634</ref> Vladimir later assists [[Kraven the Hunter (Ana Kravinoff)|Ana Kravinoff]] and Alyosha Kravinoff with capturing [[Anya Corazon]] as well as a second attempt to capture [[Julia Carpenter|Arachne]].<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man #635</ref> Following Kraven the Hunter's resurrection, Vladimir was shown attempting to attack Arachne and Araña while they are bound. Sergei fends off Vladimir rather brutally. Sasha mentioned to Sergei that Vladimir's sub-human state was the result of a test resurrection to see if she can revive Sergei.<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #636</ref> After Spider-Man defeated the Kravinoff family, they escaped to the [[Savage Land]] where Sergei killed Sasha (because she complained about being hunted in order to become a true Kravinoff) and [[Euthanasia|euthanizes]] Vladimir (which Kraven does due "to respect for the dead").<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #637</ref>
-==Powers and abilities==
-Via the Jungle serum, Vladimir possessed superhuman abilities similar to his father, though apparently without the need for periodic ingestion of the serum. These powers included heightened senses, strength (3 tons optimally), speed (able to sprint short distances at 65&nbsp;mph), agility and durability, and possibly longevity. He could perform a standing broad jump of {{Convert|25|ft|m}}. Vladimir wore armor protecting his arms and torso, while typically carrying his ancestral knife, electro-shock gauntlets, wrist mounted dart launchers, an energy-projecting spear and spiked cleats. He was skilled in using other weapons including a rifle, pistol, [[shuriken]], [[tonfa]], and blowgun.
-Following his resurrection at the hands of the other members of the Kravinoff family, Vladimir gained the appearance of a gigantic humanoid lion creature. In his new form, he has superhuman strength and durability, and carries around a heavy stone axe.
