Although Spidey never considered Kraven to be much of a threat, after all, Spiderman usually beats Kraven easily over and over again, it was Kraven who did what other more powerful super villians failed to. Kraven 'killed' and buried Spiderman. Then to prove that he was better than Spiderman, he impersonates Spiderman to do what spiderman until then could not. Hunt and defeat Vermin alone. Which he did.
As 'Spiderman' Kraven went around busting the bad guys, though a lot more violently than Spidey would have. He killed some baddies and had others hospitalized. Spiderman's reputation got even worse.
Peter had been buried alive for 2 weeks. He emerges, weak and half insane from the nightmare of having been buried alive. He reunited with Mary Jane before going on to hunt the hunter.
This time, when Spider-man hits Kraven, Kraven does not bother to fight back. After all, he has won. He has proven himself to be Spider-man's superior. He has no more fight with spiderman. He releases the Vermin to get him and Spiderman to fight as part of the game. When they eventually do, Vermin overpowers the weakened spiderman and Kraven saves spidey, helps him up and asks him to leave to track down Vermin.
While the spider and the rat are away, Kraven lies in his coffin and shoots himself.
In his death, he leaves a written confession of the crimes he committed as Spiderman, clearing Spidey's name.

Kraven junior, Al, is different from his father. His dad was the supervillian Kraven, his mom was a mutant who killed herself, his uncle was the Chameleon, who had gone mad and was locked up in a mental institution. Talk about a dysfunctional family.
The illegitimate son of Kraven, he stilled inheritted his dad's riches. In the current comics, this Kraven turned out to be a good guy. He knows who Spidey really is. He uses that knowledge when Spidey's non-stop talking gets on his nerves. Calling him by his real name is one sure way to shut Spidey up.
Although Spiderman does get on his nerves, they are not enemies. In fact, when Al had a mid life crisis, it was spidey he contacted for a chat. Spiderman joked about making movies in Hollywood, which Kraven took serious, which brought him and his girlfriend to Hollywood.
Kraven has the strength, speed and agility of his father. He even has power over animals. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he is like most filthy rich kids, but with a conscience.
It would be interesting to see how this new Kraven develops.
