reptile DNA based regenerative formula resulting in a mutation into a
humanoid lizard possessing superhuman strength, speed, agility, stamina,
durability an ability to communicate with other reptiles and an ability to
produce a pheromone causing humans to regress into a savage state. Note: Although possessing a
different personality of his alter ego Curt Connors, due to an accentuated
R-complex (the most primitive region of the human brain), the Lizard maintains
the scientist's memories
and knowledge of biology. |

| Origin |
| Dr.
Curtis Connors lost his right arm while serving as an Army surgeon.
Also a brilliant herpetologist, Connors became convinced he could apply
his studies of certain reptiles' regenerative abilities to human
physiology to help him to regain his limb. Isolating the reptile
enzyme responsible for regeneration, he injected himself with an
experimental formula of his own creation. The serum restored
Connors' missing arm, but also triggered a horrific, body-wide mutation
that transformed the hapless scientist into a savage, humanoid reptile
calling itself the Lizard. |
