From IGN's coverage of The Amazing Spiderman panel at Comic-Con:
For some reason, this doesn't sound good.
I'm also really put off by the fact that he sounds really angsty based on what's been said about the 9 minutes of scenes shown during Comic-Con. I think I'd even prefer him being wimpy than this.
Quote:Webb also gave us our first look at The Lizard, by way of a highlight reel of sorts illustrating the villain's origins. Basically Connors, as the world's leading expert in reptiles, is looking to genetic splicing as a means to grow back his missing arm. He uses himself as a test case, and the results lead to Connors growing back his arm, after shedding a very sticky, very gross layer of skin around the new limb.
He then starts growing a network of scaly flesh on his face before finding himself naked and in the sewers, screaming as the final transformation takes over.
Two girls are in the bathroom stall of their school bathroom, preparing to burn a snap shot of a cheating boyfriend, when the tile beneath them quakes and shatters. The toilet is violently yanked underground and, in its place, a large reptilian claw reaches out... Then another, and The Lizard eventually pulls himself topside. The character looks equal parts Killer Croc, Raptor and Koopa as he menaces the two girls against the far wall, his tail snapping back and forth as he makes inappropriate gestures with his tongue. (Gross.)
The Lizard's look seemed to garner the most polarizing reaction of people in attendance. We'll reserve final judgment once we see the bulky creature go up against Spidey's leaner, skinnier frame.
