Lizard (The Amazing Spider-Man)

"I spent my life as a 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 and smarter? This is my gift to you."

- Dr. Curtis Connors on a video explaining how he is changing human life.

Dr. Curtis Connors a.k.a The Lizard, is the main antagonist of the film The Amazing Spider-Man.

In the film
During the credits of the film, Connors is sent to prison. He then meets a character credited as "The Man in the Shadows", asking him if Connors told Peter the truth about Richard Parker. Curtis replies no while the darkened figure said "Well that's very good". Before returning to the credits of the film, Connors gives out his last words by stating "You should leave him alone!"

Trivia

 * The darkened figure Connors encountered in his cell late at night was credited as "The Man in the Shadows" in the film has, currently, an unknown identity.
 * The Lizard in The Amazing Spider-Man is missing several key features that he usually has in the comics, such as a snout and torn clothes (usually a white lab coat and purple pants). Marc Webb has stated that Lizard lacks a snout because Rhys Ifans is using motion-capture to play the character, and he belives that Ifan's emotions would have been lost if a snout was present. The clothes were also removed to give the character a more realistic look. Though he is seen wearing a labcoat a few of times, it's removed soon afterwords.
 * The Daily Bugle viral site confirms that Connors was found guilty.
 * Even if The Lizard in this version showed naked so he has a realistic look by filmmakers, this made him bears resemble some of his incarnation in other continuity regarding appearance without any clothes, notably his counterpart in Spiderman: The New Animated Series.
