No he did get resurrected but he wasn’t one of the first because he died before Cerebro went online. He was resurrected after the Scarlet Witch created the Waiting Room, AKA mutant heaven

u/Traditional-Tax-5291 Beta Ray Bill 2d ago
Correct. It started with a hunt for Krakoan Mutants in general, but after being dissatisfied with what the average Krakoan had to offer, he decided to set his focus onto Wolverine after determining he was the greatest adversary.

It would be over quickly. Logan would sniff him out but probably wouldn’t do nothing and go along with it out of boredom

I dunno.. Kraven is one of those guys who can definitely punch above his weight class and will have figured out how to hide himself from animals with enhanced senses. In the hands of the right writer, it could be a great story.

u/Ok-Guidance-1328 2d ago
Well yeah but the thing is if writers were accurate then him landing a punch on Logan would just break his bones because of the Adamantium skeleton
20
u/grownassedgamer 2d ago
A good writer will account for that. Who says Kraven would even fight Wolverine with his fists? He's a hunter. He'd use whatever means he had at his disposal to subdue his prey."Punching above his weight class" is a figure of speech. I didn't mean literally punch him lol. Frankly the more I think about it, the more intriguing I find the idea because if Kraven is characterized properly, he could give Wolverine all kinds of problems. Not saying he would win, but he could take advantage of Logan's more animalistic, berserker side and present a realy challenge to him. Would be interesting to see.

Kraven has been a foe of Spider-Man for his entire existence. And wins a fair amount of time. Spider-Man effortlessly beats Wolverine in hand to hand combat. To say that Kraven wouldn't be able to plan for Wolverine's powerful, though limited, skill set is preposterous.
Wolverine has metal bones and claws, enhanced senses, and a very potent healing factor.
Kraven has superhuman strength, endurance, and senses.
It is nowhere near as one sided as you seem to think.

Wolverine is the best mid scale tracker, like if you wanted to run full speed at your target who’s on the other side of a forest
Kraven is the most knowledgeable hunter/tracker who could pick up any track and can determine your location on a global scale
Black Widow is one of the most discreet and clever trackers who could get close to you without you knowing
Daredevil is the most detailed short scale tracker who can instantly determine when you last had a shower based on your scent through the building
Mystique is probably on par with Black Widow in a lot of ways
Sabertooth feels like he’s on par with Wolverine and even almost Kraven in some ways
But I’m also not the most knowledgeable on all of their feats

In urban environments, it's hard to beat Daredevil's super hearing. He can sit on a building and focus in on different sounds in his general vicinity, so if he has some sort of clue about who he's going after, he can probably find them within minutes.
Although that's a very simplistic approach to tracking, and he's probably not the best option if the search area is very wide, or if the target is overseas. Then you'd need somebody like Widow to do all of the Jason Bourne stuff, like hacking surveillance systems.
And then in the wilderness characters like Kraven and Wolverine start to shine.
So it's kind of situational, in my opinion.
If I wanted to locate the man who just stole my bike, I'd ask Daredevil.
If I wanted to locate a short hairy Canadian loner with a penchant for taking long walks in nature, I'd ask Sabretooth or Kraven. (I wouldn't ask those guys, actually; they'd probably kill me immediately. But you get my meaning.)

u/Verdragon-5 3d ago
Kraven; I feel like if you threw Wolverine or Sabertooth into Manhattan they wouldn't be nearly as effective of hunters, and likewise I don't know how well Natasha or Matt would do on the African Veldt, but Kraven is good in pretty much any environment, probably because unlike these other guys, who all have some reason for hunting people, Kraven's just doing it for the love of the game
17
u/badgerrr42 3d ago
Wolvie has been doing detective work for 100s of years. Manhattan might fuck up his sense of smell, but I don't think you're giving his experience nearly enough credit. Dude basically ran madripoor for a hot minute. It's not as if he isn't accustomed to cities.

u/Verdragon-5 3d ago
Forgot about Madripoor; still giving it to Kraven for his commitment to the sport, so to speak
8
u/badgerrr42 3d ago
No, my opinion is correct. /s
To your point it is often the case that whomever wolvie is tracking, they often find him. So often it's a trap. Whereas no one ever wants to find kraven and yet he always finds them. Lol

I feel like this has to be Kraven simply because that's his whole deal, tracking and hunting it's literally all he does and what he pours his entire focus into.
Everyone else does tracking as a side thing. That said, each of them is going to be more or less suited to a particular situation due to their unique abilities and powers.
Examples: Black widow will excel at tracking via spy intel while daredevil is going to be better with tracking by sound. Each of those will be more or less useful depending on the situation.
I feel like this should be obvious...

Sabretooth has the ability to track any scent so long as it’s on the same continent as him. He can track someone from Chile to Alaska.

u/Trenchqoat Mighty Thor 2d ago edited 2d ago
Everyone else may be more professional but if Khonshu ordered Moon Knight to assassinate one of them, he would eventually brutalize a lot of them, he can be cruel, and inhumane. None of them are close to how relentless or mental he is. He wouldn't give you your last words, he'd break you in half and cut you deep with his crescents.
Most of everyone on that list isn't stronger or faster than him, so running away is pointless, he'd catch up in seconds being superhuman. Most can't take as much injuries before they die. Most wouldn't be able to keep up with his faster attacks. So hand-to-hand combat is pretty pointless. Barely any of them can match his speed and strength, they'd be exhausted. If any was to escape via swinging and rope Moon Knight can ram the moon jet into them faster than they can react. Moon Knight would break every bone in their body, one punch would shatter bones.
Even if Daredevil or Black Widow manage to push him into a vat of acid, they'd be bloodied, and he'd come back, if it means killing their loved ones or torturing others to find them and get the job done, he would. There's a really strong likeliness you won't survive him, he's capable of killing stronger people than other hunters, he's relentless to a degree he's mad.

I feel they all track people or items differently so some people and things are more easily tracked by one character and others will be more easily tracked by another.
If you use metrics suddenly the best tracker is Dr Strange since he can locate people across dimensions.
Unless you count Wolverine and sabertooth only since they are similar in the way they track.

This list could use more trackers of all kinds: both Fury's, Blade, Dani Moonstar, Warpath, Shaman, American Eagle, Multiple Man and Sam Wilson.
Back in the day, my original choice would have been Caliban. As it stands today, the top five are probably Wolverine, Kraven, Shaman, and either one of the Fury's.
Then Sabertooth and Warpath. Blade, Daredevil, and Mystique are all matched. Then Natasha and Sam Wilson (I love that his unnerves Nick Fury).

Everyone on this list has tracking ability but a really good tracker has other skills and a certain intelligence about it that people like Wolverine, DD, etc. don’t have. (Not saying they are dumb just lacking the skill set knowledge)

I appreciate the inclusion of Marvel’s two GOAT spies: Black Widow and Mystique!
I think the 6 you highlight each have a different style of tracking down their “prey” and at any given time could be the best in MU. I think I’d give Mystique the edge though due to her power set and age (ie century long experience)

People are kinda underselling mystique here. She can shapeshift,which is good for tracking/stalking. A good hunter plays mind games on their victims and shapeshifter would create the most paranoid target on the planet, no trust, uncertainty, constantly looking behind their back. Hell you couldn't even trust animals because she's shown to transform into one before. It's one thing that all lack, they can change their appearances sure but they can't completely transform into a opposite being like she can.

u/Pontoffle_Poff 2d ago
I have to agree… shapeshifting is a talent BORN for tracking and stealth missions. Not to mention she would have the ability to lay countless traps spent years in the making because she could be everyone and no one… and vanish into thin air if ever thought she was being followed…
