Diego Cruz is an high school student and reptile enthusiast in New York City, fascinated by reptiles and their unique survival skills. During a class field trip to an advanced genetics lab, a freak accident exposes him to an experimental serum infused with DNA from various lizards. This incident alters his physiology, granting him incredible reptilian powers, including wall-crawling, enhanced agility, regenerative healing, camouflage, and heightened senses.
