Rajit Ratha

"The Clock is ticking Dr. Connors."

- Rajit Ratha

Dr. Rajit Ratha is an Oscorp scientist, colleague to Curt Connors.

The Amazing Spider-Man
Dr. Rajit Ratha first appears in the scene where Peter enters Oscorp posing as an intern. He accidently bumps into Ratha, who ignores Peter's apology and continues walking. Curious, Peter follows Ratha unnoticed and sees Ratha about to enter a room until he is stopped by two Oscorp workers and wanders off with them. Peter enters the room; it ends up being a room full of genetically altered spiders, which later results in Peter getting bitten and receiving superpowers.

Later, Ratha appears in the office of Dr. Curt Connors. Ratha states that Norman Osborn's sickness is rapidly increasing, and that Connors needs to begin human trials immediately. Connors refuses, saying that his new serum isn't ready yet, and, as a result, Ratha fires Connors. Ratha then takes some of Connors' serum, stating that he will be testing it on limbless, retired military men and women in a veteran's hospital. He leaves, and, in desperation, Connors ends up using it on himself.

Later that night, Ratha is being driven across the bridge to get to the hospital when Connors, now transformed into The Lizard, begins attacking the citizens. As people flee from their cars, Ratha remains in his, confused as to what is going on. The Lizard then attacks him, attempting to grab Ratha out of the car. Ratha manages to dodge the attacks, and Lizard ends up throwing the car off of the bridge. Before Ratha and his car plunge into the water, Spider-Man appears and webs the car to the side of the bridge, saving him.

From that point on, Ratha is never seen or mentioned. His fate remains unknown.
