Page "Kraven the Hunter" Paragraph 17

Years later, after the death of Kraven, an ex-Morlock who had kept his powers post M-Day named Joe Buggs was murdered by a mysterious mutant hunter.

His friend Ed ( who had lost his powers ) went to the X-Men for help.

He claimed that the man who killed Buggs was Kraven the Hunter.

Although they were skeptical about Kraven's apparent resurrection, the X-Men called on the help of Spider-Man, who had battled Kraven many times over the years.

After discussing the battle that they had with Kraven years ago, and the fact that he had given samples of the X-Men's DNA to Sinister for cloning, the lights went out on the wing where they were located.

The hunter attacked, and quickly dispatched Colossus, but was held at bay by Spider-Man's webbing.

He broke free, claiming his name is Xraven.

The X-Men quickly realize that Xraven has all of the powers of the original X-Men, and he was able to take down Cyclops and Shadowcat, holding her hostage, giving the ultimatum that he would kill her if they did not surrender.

Spider-Man insulted Xraven claiming that Kraven would never threaten a helpless girl.

Xraven was momentarily fazed by his comment, but attacked again, claiming that he is the ' favored one '.

Cyclops realizes Xraven's weakness, and told him that Mister Sinister sees him as nothing but a pawn.

He tells Xraven to read his mind, in order for him to see the kind of a man Sinister really is.

He quickly fled after he saw Cyclops ' memories, but the X-Men become aware of the fact that he was able to get DNA samples from Shadowcat, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Wolverine.

Returning to Mister Sinister with the samples, Mister Sinister tells him that he planned to clone a new generation of mutants, and that he would unite all mutantkind.

After seeing what Sinister's real intentions were in Cyclops ' memories, Xraven destroyed the samples claiming that Mister Sinister would breed slaves as opposed to warriors, and Xraven attacks him.

Although it is clear that Mister Sinister survived his confrontation with Xraven, it is currently unknown whether Xraven survived.
