Spider-Man: Homecoming - 11 Things From The Comic You Need To Know

4. Curt Connors Is In It (And He's A Good Guy)

In Homecoming, Curt Connors and Spider-Man arrive back in New York from Battleworld, after the Lizard refuses to participate in the Beyonder's games. For his troubles, he's blasted by Enchantress' magic and ends up reverting to human form, with his human mind able to control Lizard.

As a result, for a while in the comics Connors actually aligns with Spider-Man as a good guy and battles Owl alongside his traditional enemy.

How It Would Work In The Film

With Peter Parker at school, it's more likely that Curt Connors will be introduced as one of his teachers, as he was in Sam Raimi's trilogy. So in that respect he's likely to be aligned with Spidey.

Hopefully, we won't see his transformation into Lizard (at least not yet), because drawing direct parallels with The Amazing Spider-Man will be a mistake.
