I know that is supposed to portray surprise or shock in Panel #4 but since this is Newspaper Spider-Man I choose to believe that his spider sense finally works when he is wrong about something that isn't even an immediate threat and not the thousand other times he is ambushed or injured by falling debris and thrown objects.

Since Connors can't seem to stop experimenting on himself, that actually seems like a reasonable disclosure.

It was still a secret until these two doctors in the hospital saw him transform.

Wait, that had been kept a secret up until now? How? He's gone on like 20 rampages already and I doubt Peter's been the guy to stop him every single time, right?

Why, I bet some frogs probably didn't get predated while those snakes were distracted and now the population is going to be imbalanced for days or weeks.

I'm still hung up on this "world's top scientist" thing. On the other hand, Hank Pym is canon in this comic, and I guess it would fit some universal pattern if a man living in a ruined shack whose scientific track record is, "has spent decades trying, failing, to regrow arm while occasionally turning self into a murderous lizard by accident," was still considered a better scientist than Hank Pym.

Like how does he even know who Connors is outside of being The Lizard? The guy did some research into genetics and never really published much as far as I know, how many geneticists can you name off the top of your head? I mean, if he'd somehow figured out how to accurately predict your chances of cancer down to a certain percentage, or created several vaccines for genetic disorders that he then gave away for free, MAYBE. Then again, JJJ puffing up the importance of his own scoop is entirely in character.

Clearly the way to make JJJ keep this a secret is by forcibly giving him a transfusion of Conners's blood and making him into J Jonah Jamiesaurus.

In Stan Lee's time "scientist" was just a generic, interchangeable term for "guy who performs magic using beakers and test tubes" and being a scientist meant you were a well-known, respected (and slightly feared) public figure. Since this comic is written by Stan Lee('s ghost writer), we're clearly still living in that reality.

No one suspected the Lizard was Connors because Connors only has one arm. "Yes, okay, Connors is some kind of lizard-doctor, and some lizards grow back lost limbs, but why would he lose the new arm when he changed back?"

jjj: "so it's ok then, glad that's settled" tbh I'm not sure why this would even be a bad thing. "crazed man turns self into lizard monster that threatens to destroy human society, can turn back at any time with a blood transfusion" seems like a good thing for people to know about
