Dr. Curtis Connors

In Marvel's Depression-era Noir universe, Dr. Curtis Connors is a morally compromised scientist whose work intersects with Peter Parker's world, operating amid the shadows and corruption that define this darker, 1930s-inflected take on the Spider-Man mythos.

David Hine, Fabrice Sapolsky, and Carmine Di Giandomenico introduced this incarnation of Dr. Curtis Connors into Marvel's shadowy Noir universe in 2010, setting him apart from the sunlit mainstream with a distinctly darker, Depression-era atmosphere. Over roughly fifteen years he's kept remarkable company — sharing pages with the likes of Peter Parker, Felicia Hardy, and Dr. Otto Octavius — a rogues' gallery and cast of characters that signals he moves in Spider-Man's most consequential circles. His appearances span from the moody Spider-Man Noir: Eyes Without a Face through to The Spectacular Spider-Men and Astonishing Spider-Man, making him a quietly persistent presence across Marvel's web-slinging corner of the Modern Age. With only ten catalog appearances, he's a collector's find rather than a household name — the kind of character whose scarcity makes each issue he graces feel like a genuine discovery.
