Martha Connors is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is usually depicted as a supporting character of Spider-Man, and the wife of Dr. Curt Connors, also known as the Lizard. Much of her character's story revolves around her constant suffering, yet perseverance through her husband's constant transformations. Martha was later injected with Curt's Lizard Formula to cure her of a deadly virus, which mutated her into a lizard-like form.

Fictional character biography

[edit | edit source]

Sometime before her first appearance, Martha met and married surgeon and biologist Curt Connors. Together they had a son named Billy and their life seemed perfect. Curt, an amputee, sought a way to regrow lost limbs. Despite Martha warning him about the dangers of experimenting on himself, fearing for his safety, Curt creates a Lizard Formula and tests it on himself, transforming into a feral reptilian monster. Curt is eventually cured, but continues to transform periodically. However, Martha refuses to leave him.

Sometime later, Billy and Martha are both afflicted with cancer after being exposed to carcinogenic chemicals. Billy survives, while Martha dies due to complications from surgery, with Billy being sent to live with his aunt.[1]

In the Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy storyline, Martha is resurrected in a clone body by Ben Reilly along with Billy, who had previously been killed by the Lizard. Martha and Billy are taken away by Curt, who claims that he can cure the Carrion virus they are suffering from. Martha and Billy are injected with the Lizard Formula, which saves their lives, but also mutates them into lizard-like forms.[1]
