Curtis Connors (Earth-6531)

"I spent my life as scientist trying to create a world without weakness, without outcasts. I sought to create a stronger human being but there's no such thing, human beings are weak, pathetic, feeble minded creatures. Why be human at all when we can be so much more? Faster, stronger, smarter, this is my gift to you!"

- - Doctor Curt Connors

Doctor Curtis "Curt" Connors is a former scientist and biochemist working for Oscorp Industries and colleague of Richard Parker. After having to amputate his arm, Connors sought for a cure to humanity's weaknesses. Eventually, when he discovered Oscorp planned to use his work on innocents as test subjects, he injected himself with an experimental serum he created, becoming the Lizard.
