In keeping with the current arc, Connors probably built that entire house by himself.

But if only he had his other arm!

Yeah, NSM, if I had to pick a literary reference--like, specifically, a well-known 19th century gothic novella--to describe the situation of a doctor with a monstrous alter ego, I'd definitely go with Frankenstein.

Connors knows Peter is being patronizing as hell about his lab equipment and is not amused. Or maybe that's the meth lizard serum.

There's going to be a terrible accident (based on Conner's past lab safety record) and MJ TURNS INTO THE LIZARD.


and everyone dies, because she's actually competent.

unfortunately, it's gotta be curt rather than mj. this is all deliberately set out in the middle of nowhere, so spiderman can't just pop in with no explanation and i don't think even nsm is dumb enough to reveal his secret identity to the only dude who is more of a mess than he is.

it'd be way better with lizard mj, though.

Wasn't JJJ supposed to be somewhere closeish by? He is going to show up at some point, probably when the doc/mj/someone goes full-Lizard.

I 100% expect connors to be the sidekick this arc, and a scene where spidey agonizes over turning him into a lizard and they finally agree its the only way, then the threat gets eaten by an alligator that spidey fought for no reason six months earlier.

I'm placing a dark horse bet that this leads to Spider-Man becoming a Spider-Beast-Guy and Connors going into Lizard mode to stop him.

I think it will turn out that hicks have been squatting in Dr Conners lab, and have accidentally turned themselves into lizardmen messing with his poo poo, and they will kick spidey’s rear end, and the only way Dr Conmers can get close enough to inject then with the cure is to uncure himself! Lizard vs Lizard fight!

One time. ONE GOD DAMNED TIME I turn into a giant lizard and try to murder everyone and people won't let me forget about it.

Well that's not gonna happen this time. This time, I'm oh crap I'm already a lizard.

I glanced at the strip too quick and thought Connors already turned into the lizard this strip.

Canonically? Yes, just once. Really? Probably more than once, they just don't expect anyone to have been reading it consistently since 1977.

This actually happened in Spider-Gwen comics. Gwen Stacy became Spider-Woman, and became an idol to Peter in the process. Peter experiments with lizard DNA to get superpowers, he ends up transforming into a crazy lizard man, crashes the prom, and Gwen is forced to kill him, becoming her equivalent of Uncle Ben.

So yeah, not too far off in the brains department from NSM.

Turns out the way Conners wants to get his arm back is mechanical replacements.

This arc will be called "Iron Curt".

Guys guys, this time it won't happen because he's using dino DNA, so instead of turning into the Lizard he turns into... a creature completely indistinguishable from the Lizard.

"There is no God! Right, Mama?"

"True."


Turns out the swamp is actuallty an embassy for the savage land and sauron turns connors into a dinosaur which is totally not a lizard. Because he doesn't want to regrow limbs. He wants to turn people into dinosaurs.
