Dr. Curtis Connors is a brilliant biologist. Curt is married to his wife named Martha and has a son named Billy. Since Curt has lost his left arm, he wanted to find a way to regrow his arm by using reptillian dna to experiment an regenerative antidote. The antidote somehow worked on Curt but things would later turn for the worst. When Dr. Curt Connors injected himself with the serum infused with reptillian dna in order to grow back his missing left arm, the serum would also change his anatomy and physical appearance into an anthropomorphic humanoid reptile known as The Lizard. The Lizard is a supervillain who wanted to rule all over New York by making experiments that will turn the entire human population into a race of mutated reptiles and bring chaos to the rest of the world. The Lizard has reptillian based superpowers that include strength, speed, flexibility, and enhanced senses to hunt down anyone that would get in his way. He accidentally transformed himself into the Lizard when he created a formula to re-grow his missing arm.
