Hey, a man can dream, can't he? I'm just saying how I'd love to see the character move from here. I agree it's unlikely and he's likely to remain the same, but there's some glimmer of hope if writers wish to capitalize on his developments in 'Grimt Hunt' and 'Spider-Girl.' In the right hands, a writer can realize Sergei is indeed past his phase with 'the spyder' (since he even recognized he's just a man at the end of KLH) because he's trying to build up Ana to eventually face him. She wants to go after Parker, and Kraven is trying to prepare her for that. First, he's saying she must defeat lesser-foes, thus why she's going against Spider-Girl now. With a writer who understands Sergei, this could make for some great developments (despite me agreeing Ana isn't really that interesting, but to see her mature as a character would be nice). Hopefully, other writers won't see Rick R's representation and think that's how Kraven should act from here on out. Especially since he was nothing but focused and at peace while training Ana in Spider-Girl #4.
Take on Frank Castle?

Frank Castle is hard to make significant change realistically speaking, since he is a serial killer.

Frank Castle is hard to make significant change realistically speaking, since he is a serial killer. Certainly agree with you there, but something has to happen because his stories have been absolutely played out. He needs some kind of new approach to taking on crime/villains. It was interesting to see Jigsaw's son take the mantle of his new Micro, but that's not enough, IMO. I'd like to see SOME kind of character development. I mean, Jesus, it's been long enough where he can now perhaps have a love interest or something

Problem is again, by nature the mental instability that makes a serial killer, well... a serial killer don't leave any room for personal growth. There is actually a few books out on that, and one specifically that talks about the no going back threshold.

Frank has had sex a few times since the death of his family, so I don't think it's that far fetched for a potential relationship. He's also, believe it or not, been talked out of killing some low level criminals by Rhino (an absolutely hysterical and fairly well-written issue). But it's not like a relationship is something I'd WANT to see for him, just one of many potential suggestions to give the guy SOMETHING new for his title and perhaps add a new level of depth. One nice moment was when the Hood resurrrected his family, he freaked out and immediately killed them with a flamethrower. The scene had potential to be a great emotional scene, but unfortunately it wasn't as powerful as it could have been. Man, his death is really the best story 616 Castle has had in quite some time.

He's one character that in all honesty should not have lasted so long and who's death should stay permanent. He really doesn't have much room for growth.

And to be honest, I wouldn't really consider Frank mentally unstable. However, this could make for a great discussion and we should create a different thread for that one.

I'll make it in a bit.
I guess I'll title it something like "Frank Castle - Is he mentally unstable?"
Seem fair?

Okay, I don't want the subject title to push users towards a certain opinion. I'll make it when I can (sort of rushed at work ATM)
