Background
Curt Conners was a gifted surgeon who went into a war to help his country.He performed "meatball" surgery on wounded GIs, but his arm was injured in a blast and had to be taken off. He eventually read into reptilian biology and from the DNA of a reptile mixed into a new serum, Conners consumed it and his arm grew back. Though it had one side effect: Conners became a giant mutant lizard!
Spiderman learned about this and travelled to Florida, helping the doctor by using Conner's notes to invent a serum to cure him. It was successful for only a while then a repeating pattern occured:Stress or a chemical reaction turned Conners into The Lizard and Spiderman would fight him, while forming some kind of temporary cure to revert the transformation.
Over time, it became apparent that a second personality had formed with The Lizard, one with the never ending bad-guy goal, to take over the world. Eventually his resorts to use an army of lizards stopped and he began working alone. When his wife and son seperated from him (due to the problems The Lizard caused), Conners tried to straighten up, though he still had the problems. In despair, The Lizard took control, though it had a weak mental strength, causing the voodoo from Calpsyo to effect him for her own purposes. After a series of bloody battles, The Lizard and Calpsyo was defeated by Spiderman, causing the weak Lizard to gain his thoughts back, though it was so weak, the supressed Conners persona carried out a plan and cured himself... but only temporarily.
Recently, a huge animalistic Lizard appeared, showing up in many issues (even in Malibu Comics' Prime #Infinity), causing everyone to believe The Lizard was now permanent, though when this Lizard went after Conners, he drank that old serum to become the true Lizard once again, to save his son. The real Lizard returned and killed the imposter, though it also brought The Lizard persona back into action. Later, it was discovered that this new Lizard was an accident from Conner's latest attempt to cure himself.
The Lizard's latest scheme to take over the world had him affecting the water supply to turn everyone into his mindless slaves, though after Conner's son, Billy, almost became one of these zombies, Spiderman lashed out and attacked The Lizard. After Martha got her share of words in, The Lizard became Conners once again, now begging for help for a cure. Only time will tell if he truly becomes rid of his curse...
