Following an escape from Ravencroft, he captured Spider-Man and learned his identity (finally understanding why Spidey had gone berserk). Chameleon tried to convince him that his life as Spider-Man was just a figment of his imagination. Peter didn't buy it, but the Chameleon escaped and saw what he thought was Sergei. (It was actually the first time that Alyosha Kravinoff had met his uncle.) It was then that Alyosha told Dmitri he was a half-brother to Sergei. He went after Mary Jane, and she beat him with a baseball bat. He managed to escape from Spider- Man, after he was found with Mary Jane, but his luck didn't improve. He nearly died, as Alyosha confronted Dmitri with a rifle, saying "The world is only big enough for one Kravinoff." That's when Dimitri finally realized that the Kraven before him was not a hallucination. Too late...
