By day, he's an office clerk who practices Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu and is a Franchise/StarWars fan. By night, however, he is the Human-Lizard, a crime fighting vigilante dedicated to cleaning the streets of crime. Problem is, he kind of sucks at it. Doesn't stop him from putting himself out there night after night, though.

Not wanting to give up on his crime fighting career, Lucas [[TestSubjectForHire rents himself out as a test subject]] to a pharmaceutical company who gives him a new painkiller they've been developing. One pill sends Lucas into a more-than-an-hour-long puking session and makes him lose consciousness for a while. However, after taking another beating, he also discovers that the pill gave him a HealingFactor. With this new power, Lucas continues to try to deal out justice in Toronto.

14	* AnArmAndALeg: Human-Lizard loses one of his arms in a fight against a giant monster. However, by then, he already gained his HealingFactor, so all he had to do was put his severed limb back on, and let his power do the rest.

16	* BigBad: Eaton Peepers seems to be set up as this.
