once connors inevitably starts chugging lizard serum, the only thing standing between him and freedom is nsm and a professional bystander. so yeah, he'll make his way back to civilization where jjj will save the day.

Hey, he never said he wouldn't become a lizard again. He just said he's not going to become a murderous lizard man again.


This time, instead of murder, he'll be into arson.

yea that feels like a thing even the real comics weirdly ignore. His issue is being The Lizard makes him murder happy and predatory, he should just find a way to be a sick nasty lizard dude with has two working arms.

There's a few times in the 90s cartoon where he is completely self-aware as the Lizard and he's just this rad super strong science man. Like the time he helped in the Secret Wars.

In the comics, Connors had an Indonesian student who used a modified version of his serum to become a totally non-crazy lizard woman.

She might have other problems, though.

that was how he ended up after shed. he was more or less content to stay in super prison without telling anyone who was in control, though. shed was pretty hosed up.

Connors will manage to become a non-murdery two armed lizard, but wonder how he'll be accepted in society in his new form. Cap will show up and invite Connors, into the avengers, and also JJJ who is there and found another Iron Man suit, but not Spidey. Seeing his dejection, MJ lets him wear his suit on the flight back, where he sees a very familiar kid.

As I said before, not a fan of Shed.

Lizard's always been a separate, insane personality from Curt Connors, so much that he rarely understands they're the same person. Although both in the comic and in the 90s cartoon, there was a point where Dr. Connors' mind was in his lizard body, but he didn't seem too thrilled about it.

I like how it's like "Lizard brains can't form emotional attachments".

Yes, and lizards can't regrow arms, they don't tend to have previously been scientists, they don't generally attempt to turn the entire rest of the world into fellow lizards, and they don't speak human languages, broken or not.

I'm pretty sure The Lizard doesn't have to follow strict biological realistic lizard rules.

LET THE GREEN SCALY SCIENCE MAN BE A PROFESSOR MARVEL! I legit want a storyline where Conners turns into the Lizard, puts on a nice suit, walks into his class one day, and announces "Good news everyone!"

If and only if all relevant supporting characters to Connors have an intervention wherein they say "Look, it seems like you're cursed to become a lizard-man if you want your arm back, so you either lean into that and figure out how to make that work or we'll amputate your other arm and see if you can cook-up lizard serum using only your toes."

Isn't Beast still a race-traitor working exclusively for Inhumans? Whoever is running the X-Mansion right now needs a good scientist, and Connors' science laser could seemingly do everything in the 90s cartoon.

Honestly, that's the kind of thing I wish comics would let happen. The main hero can't change a ton? Ok, not great, but ok, let's do something with the supporting cast/villains. Let Conners eventually become the Lizard full time, he gets his arm back but has to deal with being a lizard man professor. Keep Kraven as the "I am loving immortal and I am going to hunt ALL the game" dude from Squirrel Girl. That sort of thing.

Same with Batman, just because I've thought that longer: Riddler as a detective, Scarecrow ACTUALLY getting to join the Yellow Lanterns. I feel like you can move villains/supporting cast members to different spots way easier than heroes, because they're inherently less marketable overall.

I'm pretty sure they did this for awhile, Riddler started working with Catwoman and even Batman(?) as a private detective and demonstrated some honest to goodness character growth.

Don't worry though, DC quickly "fixed" that.

Oh so she's going to run into JJJ hunting alligators in the swamp and the two of them are going to save Peter from a lizard.

"say, did you know that lizards hunt in packs and can survive indefinitely in a vacuum?"

"i wasn't sure about you before, but you're hired."

aside from his charming erroneous factoids, i can't think of any other possible reason connors could still get a job at a lab after turning into the lizard like 20 different times.
