It’s been ten years since the popular mobile game “Marvel Contest of Champions” was released. While Spider-Man was one of the first playable characters, over the years several of his most iconic villains have also been added. But now it seems like one of his most popular foes is about to join the game’s growing roster too.
Venom, Scorpion, Mr. Negative and even all the members of the original Sinister Six are just some of the rogues you can play as in the game. For years, fans have rallied to have Dr. Curt Connors a.k.a Lizard added. Judging by a new social media post, fans may not have to wait much lnger.
Earlier today, an ominous video was posted to the game’s social media profiles. It starts off showing a bunch of broken pods in a science lab before cutting to black. You can check it out below!
However, in a quick, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it frame, the character can be seen through static.
For those (somehow) unfamiliar with the character, in the comics Connors was a geneticis researching the ability of certain reptiles to regrow missing limbs. He would go on to develop a lizard DNA-based serum that would allow humans to do the same. After testing it on himself, hoping to regain his missing right arm, he was transformed into a feral anthropomorphic lizard. While Spider-Man was able to undo the transformation, the Lizard continued to remained a part of Connors’ subconscious and would resurface occassionally.

Now, it’s unclear when the character will be coming to the game. However, the game is due for a major update early next month. Last month, the developers announced that another Spider-Man variant, Pavitr Prabhakar, would be joining the contest. Considering that the game adds two new champs every month, it makes sense for Lizard to be added alongside him.
We expect more details about the next update in the next few weeks, so be sure to follow The DisInsider for more info as it becomes available!
