Not unless the hunter character has anything else in common with Kraven. It’s a pretty common trope: the original short story “The Most Dangerous Game” was published in 1924. ---

I would doubt it. The TV show didn’t have any crossovers with other Marvel characters, although there were crossovers with Thor and Daredevil in the TV movies that came out after the series ended. ---

Best Episode: The two-parter called “The First”. I still watch that one every once in a whole. ---

> [@E-DUB](#): > > Best Episode: The two-parter called “The First”. I still watch that one every once in a whole. That was easily the best episode(s) of the series. It’s also pretty clearly a take-off on the Universal _Frankenstein_ film series. It has the basic plot of _Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man_–guy cursed to occasionally turn into a monster comes into town, seeking the notes of a dead scientist in the hopes that they might cure him, encounters and sort of befriends another monstrous character, and the story ends with a climactic fight between the two monsters which destroys the laboratory. The dead scientist was named Dr. Clive (after Colin Clive, who played Henry Frankenstein in the original films), the other Hulk is named Dell Frye (after Dwight Frye, who played the hunchbacked assistant Fritz), and the little town the story is set in is called Vissaria, which is only a slight variation on Visaria, the village that was the setting of several of the Frankenstein movies. A clever little pastiche.
