Kraven III

Kraven III, also known as Kraven the Creator, was born in New York City as Pavel Kravinoff, the son of Alyosha Kravinoff. As a child, Pavel always looked up to his father, but never knew what he actually did. Shortly after Pavel was born, Alyosha moved his family back to Hollywood, so as to keep them safe from the Punisher.

Pavel discovered he was a mutant, just like his father, but with Aloysha's help he lived a fairly normal life and went to Boston University for a degree in biology. Around the time Pavel moved out, his father moved back to New York City, believing enough time had passed. After graduating from school Pavel moved to New York to be closer to his father and to find a research job in the city. Pavel found a secure job with a research annex of OsCorp Industries, but it wasn't before long that the Punisher found out the Kravinoff family was back in town.

Punisher was able to associate Aloysha with Chameleon and a small organized crime ring at the time and with the help (and influence of Spider-Man) sent them to jail. After finding out his father had been incarcerated for organized crime, Pavel did a little bit of research and found out his father was Kraven II, bastard son of Kraven I and also known as Kraven the Hunter.

Unable to face the new information, compiled with stress at work, Pavel started becoming irrational and delusional. He became Kraven III, and made it his goal to finish his father's dream of creating a super-zoo, filled with various animal-themed superhuman beings. Despite adopting the mutant qualities of speed, reflexes and stamina, as well as animal communication and more, from his father, he lacked the strength and guts to take down the top superbeings and so he became Kraven the Creator.

Having superior mutant intellect, the power of animal communication, knowledge of animal biology and access to extensive testing facilities at work, Kraven would kidnap innocent strangers from the streets of New York and perform experiments on them to create new animal-themed superbeings.

His creations included Elephant-Man, the Angry Beaver, Tiger Shark II, Mongoose II and the Stallion.

The experiments enraged most of his patients and left them in a very animalistic state of insanity, Elephant-Man, Donovan Neal, however was his most successful patient and was left with all of his sanity and intelligence, but was granted a thirst for danger and trouble. Elephant-Man became Pavel's right hand man.

Powers
Pavel is a mutant that possesses various superhuman attributes, most of which are similar to those possessed by his father.

Superhuman Intelligence: Pavel was a gifted child and aced all of his courses through university. He quickly became the head of his program at OsCorp. He has a very high I.Q. and ability to retain information and memories. After becoming Kraven III his intelligence stayed the same, but his ability to reason and think logically was severely dampened.

Superhuman Speed: Pavel is able to run and move at speeds beyond the natural limits of the finest human specimen. Like his father, he is able to reach speeds of up to 60 miles per hour over short distances.

Superhuman Stamina: PAvel's augmented musculature is more efficient than that of an ordinary human. As a result, his muscles produce less fatigue toxins during physical activity. At his peak, he can exert himself for up to several hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood starts to impair him.

Superhuman Durability: Pavel's bodily tissues are tougher, more resilient and more resistant to various forms of injury than those of ordinary humans. In particular, he can withstand great impact and blunt forces. He can withstand impacts, such as falling from several stories or being repeatedly struck with superhuman force, that would severely injure or kill a normal human while sustaining little to no injury himself.

Superhuman Agility: Pavel's agility, balance and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human specimen.

Superhuman Reflexes: Pavel's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.

Superhumanly Acute Senses: Pavel possesses superhumanly acute senses that are comparable to those of certain animals. He can see objects at a much greater distance, and with greater clarity, than normal humans. He retains this same level of clarity in near-total darkness. His hearing is similarly enhanced and he can detect normal sounds at greater distances. He can also detect sounds that are too high pitch for normal human ears. Pavel's sense of smell is even more highly developed, enabling him to recognize and track targets by scent in much the same way as a wolf or dog might do.

Regenerative Healing Factor: Pavel's accelerated metabolism grants him an accelerated healing factor that allows him to heal damaged tissue much faster and more extensively than a normal human. Injuries such as punctures or slashes fully heal within a matter of minutes while more severe injuries, such as broken bones, might require a few days to fully mend. It isn't known if he can regrow severed limbs or missing organs. It also isn't known if his healing abilities grant him increased resistance to disease, nor if it also grants him an extended lifespan.

Animal Communication: Pavel has demonstrated the ability to communicate with animals. The full nature of this power is unknown although it allows him to control humans, once they have embraced their animal natures.
