We both know that a person's sheer IQ is not nearly as significant when it comes to combat. You yourself have pointed out how bad Spider-Man usually is in combat tactics, and he is nearly at genius level (unrelated sidenote, but Big Time seems to heavily promote the notion that he is a genius). The difference between Spider-Man and Ana is Ana is trained Hunter and Fighter..Spider-Man just does any old thing.To be honest the things he tries in combat is borderline retarded and even for someone like me who isn't a fighter would no better than to do that.(Example..trying to punch Molten Man barehanded). LOL. I know. But where Spider-Man is an untrained (or, rather, undertrained, since he studied under Captain America), Ana is simply undisciplined. Maybe she will work on it in the future, but currently, her constant boasting and overconfident methods have undermined her efforts on multiple occasions. It is a serious, if not the most serious drawback she has.

I honestly never thought I'd see the day where VANCE would be defending a member of the Kravinoff family! lol Vance is nothing if not open minded.

LOL. I'm being serious. I've seen Vance change his opinion on a subject entirely once someone presents proper evidence.

To be honest this was a scapegoat reason.I used to like Kraven actually..Actually his was one of my favorite action figures as a kid.He had a lever in his back that made him stab or throw a spear.It was awesome.Somewhere between now and my childhood I found a reason to hate him.I really don't remember what it was.

Morph, I'm kidding O rly, Vance? I thought your reason was when Kraven beat Black Widow and Daredevil (we debated on that decades ago). I wish I still had my action figures from my childhood

LOL. That's awesome.
Have you read Kraven's Last Hunt, Vance? I don't remember ever asking you.

At the very least, you should definitely read Grim Hunt. The primary part is only 4 or 5 issues, IIRC.

Have you read Kraven's Last Hunt, Vance? I don't remember ever asking you. I've read parts of it.I actually want to read more Spider-Man but I screwed myself over by trying to read from the bottom up.There's thousands of Spider-Man comics.I'm not going to be able to do it.I have to read all and new all at once.That's the only way I will stay current.I've only been reading Hulk and Children's Crusade as of recent because most other Marvel books are trash.Even Daredevil. Morph, I'm kidding O rly, Vance? I thought your reason was when Kraven beat Black Widow and Daredevil (we debated on that decades ago). I wish I still had my action figures from my childhood Nah.I was just saying that.I didn't like that happening because it doesn't really make sense.I could see if they had Kraven lure them into a trap (which he did) but DD easily got out of the trap it was h2h with Kraven that he couldn't handle and the made it seem as if it was because Kraven was too far ahead of him physically when his other showings would suggest that his level of ability shouldn't be much of a problem.Also to Black Widow who is peak human on all levels because of the Russian SSS when she KO'd him from behind she couldn't believe it.She didn't think she was strong enough to KO him.That doesn't make much sense to me.But Sergei is kind of cool as a character I like how back in his older showings he had all of those gadgets attached to his vest, he seemed more efficient.He seems more like a skilled savage now.Which I can respect being fan of Conan. Sorry I wrote so much

You could try reading one series at a time, and also read some selected crossovers, or stories that are renowed in the meantime. Otherwise it will take numerous months to finish every Spidey series ever.

No issue in writing a lot. When it comes to Spider-Man, there's A LOT on your plate. I recommend reading the major story lines and stuff involving characters you enjoy. You'll have an easier time that way. Classic Sergei was odd, to say the least. He was insanely durable a majority of the time, despite the books never saying the potion actually increases durability, lol. For example, one time Spider-Man claims he needed to use a punch that could "drop the Hulk" to take him out. But yeah, Classic Sergei always took full use of his weapons and gadgets, which is why Vladimir was so appealing to me. He had some really cool technology at his disposal (gauntlet with electric output, darts, energy projectile staff), but also used basic stuff like bolas and knives.

Yea,I like Classic Sergei much better than current.Especially after I saw what he did to Tigra.I respected him after that.It made me feel bad for her though because he completely dominated her.She was crying and carrying on.It was akwards.Didn't know he had some sort of durability boost.Good to know.

Killing off Alyosha in favour of Ana is a pretty retarded move.
Then again, Sergei is the only Kravinoff that was really needed, anyway. Now that he is back, he renders every knock-off that appeared, in absentia, obsolete. \ Ana is a new Kraven...Aly has had his time.

Ana is a badass, imo. 12(age right?) year old murder machine.... basically Hit-Girl. But a Kravinoff.

Ana is a new Kraven that is not really needed now that the true Kraven is back.I don't think any of the other Kraven's were actually "needed".5 characters that are basically the same with mild differences are definitely not "needed".I mean Ana was the Kraven when the others were around but Marvel doesn't need a Kraven.They could for once be, you know creative and create some other characters.

Agreed. Even though, only one very recently created Spider-Man villain is actually very good: Mister Negative.
All the others post BND have been mediocre, or flat out bad.
