He turns her down, leading to her reach out for a replacement criminal, who she equips a powerful exo-suit. Mad scientist Doctor Tramma, who offers to upgrade his Rhino suit on behalf of the Kravinoffs, approaches Aleksei.
He’s Aleksei Sytsevich now, a man willing to do anything to make his wife happy because she makes him feel like an actual person instead of a sideshow oddity. He’s hung up his horn, having chosen to settle down with Oksana, a waitress he met when he had most recently been released from prison. ASM #617 changes things up by presenting us with a reformed Rhino. Amazing Spider-Man #617 and #625 take place during “The Gauntlet” storyline, which saw Spidey facing a non-stop onslaught of his rogues gallery (orchestrated by Sasha Kravinoff and Ana Kravinoff, the respective wife and daughter of Kraven the Hunter) every issue for just over half-a-year.
