* Know where [[Batman]] got the T-Rex that's in the Batcave? Well, in Batman #35, a big game hunter named Steven Chase invited the Dynamic Duo to a hunt, promising to donate $5,000 to the charity of their choice in return. [[Old Money| (Oh, and in case you forgot, this is the 1940s.)]] They didn't realize that ''they'' were intended to be the hunted, and that it was to take place on an island full of dinosaur anamatronics. Once Chase was beaten, Batman took the T-Rex as a souvenir.
* This is Kraven the Hunter's big schtick in various ''[[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man]]'' media—hunting Spider-Man, whom he considers the most elusive prey of all and the only one capable of presenting him with any challenge. The "Kraven's Last Hunt" storyline features him not only succeeding at this goal but impersonating and outperforming Spider-Man {{spoiler|before committing suicide.}}
** Kraven's son Alyosha once kidnapped dozens of villains with [[Animal Motifs]] (like Man-Ape and the Rhino), set them loose on a remote island, and went on the prowl. He had seemingly lost his mind at some point prior to this, as this was a dramatic departure from his usual M.O. and he was extremely irrational throughout the ordeal.
Line 46 ⟶ 47:
* In ''[[The Invisibles]]'' a group of English nobles take great pleasure in hunting down the homeless and poor. It's shown in detail in "Royal Monsters"
* An issue of ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' set on Starfire's home planet Subverted this. Dick Grayson was uncomfortable about hunting a lizard-like being for sport, until he learned that not only was the lizard at least as intelligent as he (and an old friend of Starfire's family), but his weapon wasn't remotely lethal and they were going to have lunch together after the hunt.
