The first picture of The Lizard, soon to be Marc Webb’s first villain in The Amazing Spider-Man reboot of the Spider-Man franchise, has arrived online.

From Marvel’s web site, for those unfamiliar with the chracter: Curt Connors was a gifted surgeon who went into a war to help his country. He performed ‘meatball’ surgery on wounded GIs, but his arm was injured in a blast and had to be amputated. He eventually became obsessed with uncovering the secrets of reptilian regeneration, and studied reptilian biology extensively. From his home in the Everglades, he finally determined a serum taken from the DNA of a reptile. He had successfully regrown the missing limb of a rabbit, and, despite the warnings of his wife, chose to test it on himself. Connors ingested it, and his arm did indeed grow back. Unfortunately, it had one side effect: Connors was subsequently transformed into a reptilian monster!
