Hey it's Melvin! posted a statusI remember hearing something, way back when, about how Sam Raimi had originally planned on having The Lizard be the villain in 2004's 'Spider-Man 2' along with Dr. Octopus. This of course explained why there was a reference to Dr. Connors in 'Spider-man,' and why Dylan Baker makes an appearance as that character in the sequel. Evidently someone was able to convince Raimi that maybe that approach was too narratively cumbersome...something they failed to tell him prior to 'Spider-Man 3.' If you're curious as to what Raimi's Lizard would have looked like, artist Constantine Sekeris has the answer. On his website, among many other astonishing works, is this concept art for Spidey's reptilian adversary. Whether you're looking at the sketch or the rendered drawing, Sekeris' Lizard is pretty terrifying, more so in my view than the one we got in 'The Amazing Spider-Man.' Take a look at the artwork below and let us know what you think. And be sure to check out all the other fantastic art on Sekeris' site.

Comment by Hector Fernando Andrade JR. II on January 2, 2013 at 6:24pm Sony wanted Doctor Octopus, The Lizard and The Black Cat as the villains in Spider-Man 2 before Sam Raimi decided to just use Doctor Octopus because he was a visually interesting villain who was a physical match for Spider-Man and a sympathetic person with humanity.

Comment by Hector Fernando Andrade JR. II on January 2, 2013 at 6:12pm The Lizard was going to be the bad guy in Spider-Man 4 but Sony didn't allow Sam Raimi to use him because they wanted a human bad guy.
Comment by Civilized Worm on January 2, 2013 at 6:07pm Deadite Lizard? Now that's bad-ass.
Comment by Hector Fernando Andrade JR. II on January 2, 2013 at 6:06pm I like the first picture a lot better. If only the trilogy wasn't rebooted too soon.
