There is hardly a person who does not know about the Marvel comic book universe. Well, or at least not heard of her. It has become especially widespread in our time, thanks to colorful films featuring various superheroes. Such films collect the largest box office, and interest in the comics among the younger generations only increases. But where there are superheroes, supervillains necessarily appear. One of them will be discussed in this article. This character's name is Stan Lee Kurt Connors, he is a character in the Marvel world, throwing himself in the Lizard.
Character appearance
Kurt Connors was a talented surgeon in the US. When the war began, he, showing courage, rescued the wounded soldiers, making them operations on the battlefields. So, as a field doctor, he spent a lot of time. But once he himself was seriously wounded in the arm, and therefore she had to be amputated. This served as the foundation for the tie of this character. After we meet this character in peaceful, civilian conditions. Kurt Connors almost returned to normal, but the fact that he lost one arm in the war makes him worry a lot.
After the war
Subsequently, the main character begins to take over the idea of regeneration of the limbs, like in reptiles. In an attempt to uncover secrets, along with his friend Ted Sollis, Kurt Connors is developing a special serum based on reptile DNA genes. First, he tries it on a mouse and a rabbit. Serum gives a positive result, and the paws of animals grow back. Therefore, Dr. Connors decides to try it on himself, but during the experiment everything starts to go wrong. Kurt Connors hand is restored, but the serum gives a side effect, and it turns into a Lizard. After this, the Lizard from "Marvel" loses not only the body, but also the mind.
After turning
Since Kurt Connors is losing his brain and body, he can no longer live among people, and therefore escapes and hides in the sewers. At this time, Peter Parker, also known as Spider-Man, arrives in Florida (in which the comic book takes place). He is investigating the case of the pangolin. As a result of the search, he learns about Kurt Connors and his experiences. Peter Parker collects all the information about him, finds his notes on the experiments. Then, thanks to his abilities in chemistry, he creates an antidote for serum, which turned the scientist into a monster. The search for the Lizard gives Spider-Man a lot of difficulties, but still, after a long search, he finds him and fights with him. The hero of the film "Marvel" Lizard surpasses the Spider in strength, but Peter Parker after a fierce battle still manages to inject him with an antidote.
Loss of strength
Kurt Connors comes to his senses and is very upset because his hand disappears again. He tries to come to terms with this, but cannot endure for a long time and again tries to create a serum. This time, his plans include creating a product that will be safe to use. But the scientist again fails to create what he wants. He turns into a Lizard and again loses his mind. To stop him and help, a team of X-men appears under the leadership of Charles Xavier. One of the members of the team, whose name is Iceman, freezes the Lizard until the moment when it is not possible to find a cure. After some time, they find a cure, Professor Kurt Connors frees the mind from the captivity of the Lizard and returns to normal life. Lizard is very grateful to Spider-Man, but does not know how to thank him. And now, once, a case is presented. Aunt Peter Parker needs a blood transfusion. Spider-Man becomes a donor in order to save his beloved aunt. But he does not take into account the fact that his blood is infected with radiation, and therefore his aunt is in mortal danger. A way out helps Professor Kurt. Thanks to his serum, Aunt Peter Parker remains alive.
Character Raptor in the film and comics
In the films "Marvel" Lizard can be found only once. This is the movie "The New Spider-Man" in which the role of Kurt Connors was played by an actor named Rhys Evans. In fact, we meet this character in the trilogy of Seim Remy. We can see his appearance in the second and third film. But as such in the movie, Kurt Connors is not a pangolin. He is a simple physicist, and not even his family is mentioned in the film. It plays a minor secondary role. Although in the third film it is he who reveals the properties of the Venom symbiont to Spider-Man. The role of the Lizard in the Raimi trilogy was played by a wonderful actor, whose name is Dylan Baker. Not to mention the films, this character has appeared in many Marvel comics. The Lizard is one of the main enemies of Spider-Man, and its role in the comics is unique. Due to the popularity of the character, a series of toys with the Lizard from "Marvel" was released.
Not quite a villain
Thus, we met with the great character of Wall Lee - Lizard. According to the authors, he is a supervillain. But if you look closely at him, you can understand that he had only the best intentions. He tried to create a serum to help not only himself, but all people like him. Only by chance and a mistake in the calculations led the scientist to the fact that he became like a monster, and a reptile took possession of his brain. As we see, later he was on friendly terms with Peter Parker and even saved his aunt from death. X-Men were also his friends. And the Lizard himself, being a man, was very kind. Evil and provocative actions were not carried out by the professor at all, but by his completely different essence, which took possession of him. Therefore, calling the Lizard a supervillain, one can not keep in mind the talented scientist of the world of Marvel Kurt Connors. For fans of this character, Lego Lizards from Marvel were created, which are very popular among children and adolescents.
