First of all, Kraven has some "animalistic senses", not as great as Wolverine's, but they are something. He also have some degree of super-strength (at least stronger than a gorilla).
Second, the Green Goblin's physical strength is even bigger; enough to match Peter's Spider-strength hand-to-hand. Besides, if the Super-Adaptoid can also mimic the way Spider-Man's foes think, then we can be sure none is more cunning and cruel than Norman Osborn as the Green Goblin.

• The end of the first arc of this historic new volume is here, and you won't believe what we're putting the Web-Slinger through!
• Spider-Man and Tombstone have their most brutal battle ever, but I fear the worst damage to Peter isn't going to be physical.
• Also, did you notice that this was ASM LGY #899?! That means next issue is…
I do hope Romita Jr. does one of the short stories in the issue. Would be a shame to get the biggest Spider-Man artist back just in time for the issue and not have any interior art for 900.
Honestly after reading Beyond, I don't expect great things from Zeb Wells here. I like a lot of the dudes work but Beyond has missed every possible mark I don't see this Spidey run being anything special. Issue 900 being a super Adaptoid fight seems pretty whack. Like he already beats six people at a time with the sinister six powers on the regular. What's so special about one person with all those powers.
Didn't he beat up multiple sinister sixs or whatever sinister war was with Spencer?
Just the same as Peter and MJ. Their love exorcised the devil from the Stacy twins and put Harry in heaven, they're 'unbreakable', now a typical Parker goof up is going to break them when that couldn't? There's no earned immersion in this upcoming run, it's all so lazy.

"My heart half-breaks at how easy it is to lie to him. It breaks all the way when he believes me without question." Felicia Hardy
My point still stands that like 12 people with 12 powers or even 6 people with 6 powers definitely seems like a bigger deal than 1 person with 6 powers.
I'm not really one for feats or comic book rumble type things but it really does seem lame that for the 900 issue he's going to fight some green thing that vaguely resembles the sinister six. That's it? That's the threat? I'm exhausted at the thought of having to read them trying to justify and pump up the sinister adaptoid as something more than a gimmick I should roll my eyes at.
"Get it together Parker, this Adaptoid is the toughest enemy you've ever faced. Ock's tentacles and Kraven's fashion sense. If they get Norman Osborn's hairstylist you'll be done for!"
