10 Horrifying Comic Implications
6. The Lizard Is Maybe Better Off Uncured
The story of Curt Connors is a tragic one to say the least. A genius scientific mind, Curt would see his life ruined by his own technical ability, as the serum he developed to heal the human body would ultimately heal him, and then turn him into a huge bloodthirsty creature henceforth known as the Lizard.
While folk have wanted to cure the Lizard, and free him from his suffering, it's a wide consensus among Spidey fans that this actually would now only be worse for poor, poor Doctor Connors.
But why's that? Well, it's partially because of what we've been shown in the comics - in that when folk cure Curt's condition, he's shown to be absolutely broken, with the Lizard persona having totally taken over even when his body itself is cured.
On another level, though, there's reason to believe it'd go poorly even if you could bring him back around. This is namely because his son, Billy, died by being eaten by his monstrous old man, and these memories are likely to be decidedly unpleasant for Connors to recall.
Even now, when it wouldn't suck so much because the Jackal brought Billy back, it'd only mean he had to process that he ate his son, and then - when his son was brought back to him - saw him infected with the same thing that made the poor guy into the Lizard in the first place.
