Dr. Curtis "Curt" Connors was a scientist at Oscorp who became the villainous Lizard. Connors was transported from his universe to Earth-199999 when Peter Parker tampered with Doctor Strange's spell to make the world forget that he is Spider-Man after his secret identity was exposed by Mysterio.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Dr. Curt Connors shared the history of his counterpart; until he was transported from his universe into Earth-199999.
Spider-Man: No Way Home[]
Along with several other villains, the Lizard was pulled into an alternate universe by a spell gone awry, although it is unclear at which point he was pulled from as Connors was never killed like most of the other villains that were pulled into the alternate universe. As he still retained his powers, it was presumably from before he got cured via an antidote for the Lizard Serum. The Lizard continued to express interest in transforming everyone into Lizards like himself and was disinterested in the alternate Peter Parker's efforts to cure everyone.
When the Spider-Men came up with cures for all of the villains, the Lizard's own Peter created his, noting that he'd done it once before. During the battle at the Statue of Liberty, the Lizard teamed up with Sandman and Electro to fight the three Spider-Men, at one point attacking Ned Leeds and MJ through an open portal, while Marko and Dillon were cured by Marko's Peter and Otto Octavius, who was given a new inhibitor chip by Peter-One, Marko being transformed back into his human form by his Peter via a Particle Accelerator created by Peter-One for the supercollider that transformed Marko into the Sandman and Dillon being drained of his powers of electricity manipulation by Octavius via an Electricity Siphon created by Peter-One for the accident with Bioelectric Eels that transformed Dillon into Electro. Ned managed to blast the Lizard away with water summoned through another portal, allowing MJ to throw Peter-One the antidote, which he forced into the Lizard's mouth and sprayed him with. The Lizard was surrounded by green gas and transformed back into his human form. Peter-One welcomed Connors back as he sat crying with remorse over his actions. When the scaffolding collapsed due to an attack by the Green Goblin, Connors was carried to safety by Peter-Two, while Dillon was carried to safety by Octavius. After Osborn was restored back to his normal self by Peter-One via an anti-serum created by Osborn, Octavius, and Marko's Peter for the Goblin Formula that transformed Osborn into the Green Goblin, Connors was subsequently returned to his universe along with Dillon and their Peter after Stephen Strange cast the spell to make everyone forget the existence of their own Peter.

Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Lizard Physiology: Due to the serum Connors uses to regenerate missing body parts, he transforms into a large humanoid reptile and gains the proportionate capabilities. While transformed into the Lizard, Curt possesses a variety of superhuman attributes.
- Superhuman Strength: While transformed, Lizard possesses sufficient superhuman strength. He can overpower normal humans and even Spider-Man, who is stronger than normal humans. He can turn over standard vehicles such as cars and vans. His physical strength has extended into the muscles of his legs allowing him to leap great distances.
- Superhuman Speed: Lizard can run and move at speeds greater than that of the finest human athlete and can reach a top speed of about 45 miles per hour. He is shown to be slightly faster than Spider-Man.
- Superhuman Stamina: Lizard's advanced musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human. He can physically exert himself at peak capacity for about 24 hours before fatigue begins to impair him.
- Superhuman Durability: Lizard's scaly skin and superhumanly enhanced bodily tissues provide him much greater resistance to physical injury than an ordinary human. He can withstand great impact forces, falls from great heights and small caliber bullets without sustaining injury.
- Superhuman Agility: Lizard's agility, balance and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete. His agility rivals that of Spider-Man's.
- Superhuman Reflexes: Lizard's reflexes are similarly enhanced while transformed and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.
- Accelerated Healing Factor: If injured, Lizard's body is able to rapidly regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue with much greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human. While transformed, Curt's healing powers are developed to the point where he can fully regenerate missing limbs, just like many known reptile species.
- Tail: Lizard has a long, reptilian-like tail that he can use to help balance himself or as an offensive weapon. He is capable of whipping his tail at speeds of at least 70 miles per hour. Considering his strength and physical toughness, he can generate enough force to shatter concrete. He can also use it to strangle people. He was able to detach his tail in order to get away from Spider-Man, however, with his regenerative capabilities; he grew a new one afterwards.
- Razor-Sharp Claws: Lizard's fingers and toes are each tipped with razor-sharp claws that, combined with his enhanced strength, are able to cut most conventional materials including flesh, bone, wood, stone, and some types of metals. He can punch through the roof of a car and can tear through metal objects like lockers.
- Razor-Sharp Teeth: Lizard's mouth is filled with rows of razor sharp teeth that he can use as offensive weapons in close combat situations. His teeth are capable of cutting most materials; such as flesh, bone, wood, stone and metal.
- Psionics: Lizard has a limited ability to command or attract reptiles to him. It is unknown if he is able to control it or not. This could also be the result of a kind of pheromone the Lizard may produce.
Abilities[]
- Genius-Level Intellect: Curt has a genius-level intelligence and is an expert in reptiles as well. In his lizard form, he can talk and is still intelligent; albeit twisted.
- Advanced Hand-To-Hand Combatant: Although Curt has had no formal combat training, his powers alone coupled with his natural savagery in his transformed state make him a formidable hand-to-hand combatant.

Trivia[]
- Unlike the other villains that appear in Spider-Man: No Way Home, aside from Flint Marko, it is unclear what time period Connors came from during The Amazing Spider-Man, given that he never died in the movies, he's still the Lizard and he has to ask if he died after learning that most of the others came from moments before most of them (barring Flint) had died. However, Connors is unaware that his future self did survive and was cured of his Lizard mutation by Peter-Three in the original event.
- Although it is unknown whether his displacement to Earth-199999 is either before or after murdering George Stacy.
