Herpetologist, Bio-chemistry expert and assistant Department Head of the ESU Science Department, Connors befriends and advises his prize pupil, Peter Parker. Connors served as a Field Medic with the Naval Reserves in the First Gulf War. While attempting to rescue a wounded marine, he was struck by friendly fire from the air that was supporting the ground offensive. Losing his right arm, Connors was forced to abandon his dream of being a surgeon, and turned to science, researching lizards and their ability to re-generate limbs in the swamps of Georgia and Florida. He is married to the beautiful, demure Martha Connors and is father to seven year old son William.
A.K.A. The Lizard
Connors was obsessed with developing a natural cure for his handicap, refusing to use prosthetics except for work purposes only. During a three month "field study" in the swamp, he implements some of the radical theories of "Bioregeneration"; experimenting on himself. Intitial results are positive, as his arm begins to regrow. But something in the serum, perhaps combined with the burning oil and chemicals he soaked in while lying wounded in the Kuwaiti Desert, causes an unexpected and most unpleasant side effect...

Powers and Abilities:
The Lizard possesses a number of superhuman powers endowed by his reptilian form, including his superhuman strength. His powerful leg muscles enable him to clear 20 feet in a standing high jump and 30 feet in a standing broad jump. His alligator-like hide is tougher than human skin, and is capable of resisting the penetration of small caliber bullets. His reaction time is one half that of a normal human being and he can run at speeds of up to 45 miles per hour.
The Lizard possesses a 6.5-foot tail, which he can whip at speeds up to 70 miles per hour. Like a gecko lizard, his hands and feet have retractable 1-inch hooks growing from the base of his palm and the ball of his foot, and his fingers and toes are covered with scores of tiny claws to create adhesive pads. As a result, the Lizard can support his weight climbing up and down normally intractable surfaces.
