Spider-Man Poster #137 vs The Lizard By Patrick Scherberger

Description

Lizard (Dr. “Curt” Connors) appears in comic books published by Marvel. Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, he first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man 6 (1963). While the character has retained this role throughout most of his subsequent appearances, he has also been portrayed as a tragic antihero and occasional ally of Spider-Man. Connors is sometimes an ally of Spider-Man just as himself, and not necessarily as his alter ego.

Curt Connors was a geneticist researching the ability of certain reptiles to regrow missing limbs. He developed a lizard DNA-based serum that would allow humans to do the same, and tested it on himself, hoping to regain his missing right arm; instead, he transformed into a feral anthropomorphic lizard. Although Spider-Man was able to undo the transformation, the Lizard remained a part of Connors’ subconscious and would resurface time and time again, often retaining Connors’ intelligence and attempting to replace mankind with a race of reptilian creatures like himself.

In live-action, he was played by Dylan Baker in the films Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007), and by Rhys Ifans in the film The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) as well as the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021).

Patrick Scherberger is a comic book penciller, known for his work on the book Marvel Adventures: Spider-Man.
