Despite Spider-Man’s many attempts to cure him, Connors routinely turned back into the monster.
But they’re both fine now; Connors turned clones of them into lizard hybridslong story.
While mostly reduced to a mindless animal, he’s become quite docile, last seen hanging around Morbius.
Unfortunately, the two fought, leading to Peter falling to his death and Gwen blaming herself.
Initially,the Lizard would have been the villainbefore being replaced by Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus.
Instead, the character remained on good, if sometimes disappointed, terms with Parker as his college professor.
Connors even helped Peter examine the Symbiote inSpider-Man 3and warned him about the dangers the alien goo posed.

When Gwen tried to stop this monster from taking a bite out of Leeds, he attacked Gwen instead.
Even worse, Peter saw an opportunity and took photos of himself fighting the Lizard for the Daily Bugle.
The episode ended with him being fired from Connors' laboratory and his friends turning their backs on him.
Not to mention Kraven the Hunter’s abrupt appearance tracking down Connor’s worse half for sport.
Thankfully, like always, Peter was able to subdue him and cure the doctor of his affliction.
Spider-Man 4isexpected to release in July 2026, but no release date has been officially announced.
