"The Gauntlet" and "Grim Hunt" are 2009–2010 storylines published by Marvel Comics. Despite being more issues "The Gauntlet" was solicited as leading up to the "Grim Hunt" story, and the two storylines are interconnected. Written by The Amazing Spider-Man architects (Mark Waid, Marc Guggenheim, Fred Van Lente and Joe Kelly), "The Gauntlet" is not a strict event or storyline; it is the branding that indicates the direction of Spider-Man's life. In effect it is an event similar to Dark Reign only focusing on Spider-Man and his circle.[1] "Grim Hunt" directly follows "The Gauntlet" and acts as a sequel of sorts to "Kraven's Last Hunt". The storyline received generally positive reviews.
Premise
The story features many old Spider-Man villains: Sandman, Electro, Chameleon, Mysterio, Hammerhead, Lizard, Morbius, the Living Vampire and Rhino[2][2][3] as well as appearances by Deadpool,[4] Scorpion II, Vulture (Jimmy Natale), and Juggernaut.
The Gauntlet is basically the over-arching theme of the Spidey stores starting in November. It's built of individual stories bring back Spidey's classic enemies. So it's not some 18-part story, where you're going to see "The Gauntlet Part 7" and "Part 8" and so on. What it is is sort of a branding for the level of conflict building in Spider-Man's life. The classic villains returning one after the other, but they're not necessarily working together. There's not some secret mastermind behind it all, bringing them all together. The fact that it's so relentless and that these battles and fights build throughout several months is going to have a cost for Peter Parker, and perhaps someone is going to take advantage of that.

The Gauntlet
Power to the People
In The Amazing Spider-Man #612 through #614, titled "Power to the People", Electro's powers are deteriorating and he has been left in ruin by the stock market. Seeing that Dexter Bennett has secured a bailout from the federal government to save the Daily Bugle, he starts a public and social media movement to turn the people of New York against Dexter Bennett and the New York Stock Exchange for their greed. Because of this, Electro is believed to be a hero to the people of New York and, when Spider-Man tries to fight him, they turn against him. Electro has been offered a very expensive cure for his declining health by the Mad Thinker, but is unable to pay for it. To get the money for the cure, he makes a deal with Dexter Bennett in exchange for calling off the campaign against him. The Mad Thinker attempts to cure Electro, turning him into an artificial electrical thunderbolt, but Spider-Man intervenes. Electro uses this power to betray Bennett. Spider-Man eventually defeats him, but not before Bennett is crippled by falling debris and the Daily Bugle is destroyed. Electro is then shown in the epilogue running into Sasha Kravinoff and the Chameleon in his new jail cell.
Keemia's Castle

Someone manages to steal three top secret files about the three murders. Spider-Man traces the murderer to Governor's Island, where he finds Keemia. The Sandman is revealed to be on the island and he proclaims himself as Keemia's father. In the very next issue, a few of the copies of Sandman, after confronting Spider-Man, confess that they are the actual killer of the mother and two others. Sandman, shocked that his own duplicates could free themselves from his control, begins battling his other duplicates. Spider-Man then obliterates Sandman with a fan, and gets back to Manhattan with Keemia. Keemia is then taken into foster care against her and Peter's will.
Rage of The Rhino
In The Amazing Spider-Man #617, titled "Rage of The Rhino", a new villain in a Rhino suit is told by Sasha Kravinoff that he can gain honor by killing Aleksei Sytsovich, the original Rhino. However, Aleksei no longer has his Rhino suit and is living with his new wife, Oksana. Meanwhile, Peter begins working full-time at the Front Line and on his first story the new Rhino attacks Aleksei. Spider-Man fights the new Rhino to protect Aleksei and is defeated. He later meets up with Aleksei, who managed to get away and convinces him not to put his Rhino suit back on.

The Maggia hires Mysterio to help them get out of their problems, but he accepts only to serve his purposes. In a fight between the Maggia, Mister Negative, and Spider-Man, most of the Maggia die and Mysterio loses all of the money he gained through this endeavor. Afterwards, Mysterio is approached by Chameleon (disguised as Jean DeWolff) who tells Mysterio that he has some friends that are "dying to meet him."
Out for Blood
In The Amazing Spider-Man #621, titled "Out for Blood", the Black Cat helps Spider-Man to steal the vial of Peter's blood that Mister Negative has and replaces it with a vial of pig blood, so Mister Negative is unaware of losing the ability to kill Spider-Man through his Devil's Breath formula.

Jonah Jameson did this to him. The mob starts pulling up fake claims that Jameson had created the new Vulture and the media gets a hold of it. Spider-Man finds out and arrives at City Hall just in time to save Jameson. The Vulture manages to escape when Spider-Man runs out of web fluid. The Vulture learns the truth about Jameson and the mob and attacks the gangsters. Meanwhile, Peter decides to edit a photo to prove Jameson's innocence.

Shed
In The Amazing Spider-Man #630 through #633, titled "Shed", it starts by showing that Dr. Curt Connors has a new job and he has lost custody of his son, Billy. After his boss berates him and prevents him from taking his Lizard suppressant, Connors transforms and eats his boss. Billy Connors is kidnapped by Ana Kravinoff after she left his foster mother for dead, and Ana abandons Billy when the Lizard arrives. Connors's personality fights with his reptilian will, but the Lizard drowns out Connors's and eats Billy while Ana and Alyosha watch on. Then the Lizard sheds his skin and becomes a new form. This form is smarter than any previous form of the Lizard and has the telepathic abilities to connect to the "lizard part" of the human brain. However, some of Connors's emotions were passed to this new Lizard, which causes him regret for what he has done.
Grim Hunt preludes
In Amazing Spider-Man: Grim Hunt: The Kraven Saga, a free one-shot, Spider-Man has a dream revealing the dark future that awaits him and his kin. In the Amazing Spider-Man: Origin of the Hunter one-shot Ana Kravinoff looks over some of her father's journals recounting the original Kraven's skirmishes with Spider-Man.
Grim Hunt
In The Amazing Spider-Man #634 Peter is approached at his apartment by a severely wounded Kaine. Then an explosion is heard outside and Peter sees Arachne fighting Ana and Alyosha Kravinoff, so he rushes to help her. After a battle with them, they go to Mattie Franklin's apartment where they find Ezekiel, a wall-crawling superhuman who had died prior to these events. Ezekiel starts to talk about a war between spiders and hunters. Mattie Franklin is killed by Sasha Kravinoff as a sacrifice that resurrects Vladimir Kravinoff as a large human-lion hybrid creature. Sasha says they will need the blood of Spider-Man to properly resurrect Sergei.
In The Amazing Spider-Man #635 Spider-Man, Arachne, and Ezekiel go to search for Araña who is the next target. They find her already under attack by the Kravinoffs and join the fight. However, they are defeated and Arachne and Araña are captured. Kaine arrives late since the Kravinoffs already escaped and tells Spider-Man that he should run. Spider-Man and Ezekiel have a long discussion before they leave for the Kravinoff's base. Once there, Ezekiel reveals himself to be the Chameleon, and Spider-Man is defeated. In the presence of the Kravinoffs and Mysterio, Spider-Man is then put on a table where he is killed with a knife. With Spider-Man's death, Sergei Kravinoff steps out of his grave.
In The Amazing Spider-Man #636 Kraven gets acquainted with his family after his awakening. Kraven states that Sasha restored him with corrupted blood, or the "unlife". They pull off the mask of the corpse of Spider-Man hung in their mantel and find out that it is Kaine in Spider-Man's costume. Peter finds a coffin with Kaine's corpse along with his black suit with a note from Kraven reading "Hunt Me".
In The Amazing Spider-Man #637 Spider-Man puts his black suit on again and goes on to take revenge on the Kravinoff family. Madame Web is killed by Sasha, but before dying she transfers her powers to Arachne. Spider-Man defeats the Chameleon, Alyosha, and Vladimir. He then ambushes Sasha and violently tears part of Sasha's face off with his wall-climbing power for what happened to Mattie Franklin, Madame Web, and Kaine. While Spider-Man fights Kraven, Araña fights both Sasha and Ana. Spider-Man defeats Kraven and is about to kill him with a spear when Kraven whispers "thank you" and Arachne begs Spider-Man not to kill Kraven. Arachne shows him a future where Spider-Man turned into an outcast killer because of killing Kraven. With Spider-Man silent, Kraven begs him to end his life as he believes that his life is linked to Spider-Man and that he cannot die by any other hand, and while he was dead, he was apparently in a better place. Due to the visions that Arachne received, Spider-Man reluctantly lets Kraven live and states that his return gave him a second chance and he should use it. Spider-Man idly suggests that Kraven should go and be a dentist or something. The Kravinoff family then disappear in a flash, leaving the spiders alone before they can hand them over to the authorities. Spider-Man, Araña (now in Arachne's costume) and Arachne (no longer in costume, and now blind due to her gaining Madame Web's powers) bury Kaine and Cassandra in a potter's field. Arachne, now the new Madame Web, predicts that the Kravinoffs will be back, simultaneously assuring Spider-Man and Araña that she is fine with the trade-off of her vision for Madame Web's powers. In the Savage Land, Kraven decides to hunt his own family where if they survive long enough, they could be called a Kravinoff. He breaks Sasha's neck for arguing back and euthanizes Vladimir due to respect for the dead. Alyosha then leaves, but Ana then makes a deal with Kraven: if she kills her brother, he will train her and create a stronger family. If not, he will forget about family. In the epilogue, Kaine crawls out of his grave, mutated into a more spider-like form – including six extra eyes in a spider-like pattern – now referred to as 'Tarantula', implied to be the result of Kraven's resurrection creating an imbalance.
Other versions
What If?
- An alternative possibility for the events of Grim Hunt begins with the decision of Spider-Man to kill Kraven as Kraven insisted. Spider-Man is conflicted and runs back into the arms of Mary Jane after killing Kraven. She is thrilled until she finds an issue of a newspaper that pegs Spider-Man as the murderer of Kraven. He says it was a mistake coming to her. After a heated exchange with Mary Jane at the bridge, he goes to his apartment as Peter Parker to find an intervention waiting for him, and drunkenly confesses to Spider-Man having murdered Norman Osborn in the Raft. After being refuted, he decides to discard his Spider-Man self and lives the life of Kraven. He has the Kravinoff family under his command. Julia Carpenter, the new Madame Web, uses her own army of Spiders - Venom, Anti-Venom, and Spider-Woman - to fight Peter. The battle takes the lives of all involved, except Peter and a wounded Madame Web. Madame Web teleports to get Araña to confront and defeat Peter. Peter ends up blinded by a shotgun he was attempting to use on her. Araña takes over as the head Spider, while Peter is left permanently blinded and distant from Mary Jane.[56]
