The Lizard is one of Spider-Man's most enduring villains. Dr. Curt Connors was a gifted surgeon in the military who lost in arm in battle. When he returned to the States, he became obsessed with the regenerative qualities in lizards and devised a formula using reptile DNA. His arm regrew, but the side effect was that it turned him into a monstrous humanoid lizard. Spider-Man helped Connors control The Lizard personality, and Connors eventually became a teacher at Empire State University with Peter Parker as his teaching assistant. He continues to struggle with The Lizard personality.
