| “ | I spent my life as a scientist trying to create a world with no weaknesses, no outcasts. I longed to create stronger human beings, but that doesn't exist. Humans are weak, pathetic, backward-minded. Why be human if we can be much more? Faster, stronger, smarter. This is my gift to you. | „ |

Summary
One of Oscorp's leading scientific minds and Gwen's mentor, Doctor Curtis Connors used to work alongside Peter's father, Richard Parker, and they were engineering a revolutionary serum to re-grow limbs and human tissue, which would change the lives of millions — including that of Connors himself, who lost his right arm. Richard, however, disappeared and was found dead taking a good part of the research with him, rendering Connors unable to finish the project by himself — until Peter entered the scene.
With assistance from Peter, Curtis was able to recreate the serum, and injected himself with it. The serum however, rapidly transformed Connors into a hulking, reptilian monstrosity with a misled goal, to transform other beings into a creature like him. Thus the Lizard was born, being the first supervillain for the world to see.
As of Spider-Man: No Way Home, The Lizard was brought into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a result of Peter Parker tampering with a spell by Doctor Strange.
