Origin
A mysterious alien life form broke through the inter-dimensional barrier into the world of The Goon. Due to it's failure to acknowledge the customs and language of the new world it had entered, it began fighting with many of the inhabitants of Lonely Street. In the midst of a battle with the Goon this alien creature absorbed the essence of a Mexican Fire-Toad, transforming itself into the monster known only as Hombre Lagarto!
Creation
Hombre Lagarto was created by Eric Powell for 'The Goon' comic series.
Major Story Arcs
The Goon Volume Three
Hombre Lagarto attacks Lonely Street and it's inhabitants only to be defeated by the Goon. This defeat allowed for Dr. Alloy to enter the fray and take the creature back to his laboratory where he would genetically modify the creature in order to create the perfect reptilian butler. Lagarto became Alloy's faithful servant; however, he would transform into his more feral state should he not receive his medication, an event that would occur several times, forcing the Goon to defeat the creature once more.
Powers & Abilities
Hombre Lagarto began as an alien from an unknown dimension; fusing his DNA with a Mexican Fire Toad he gained a scaly hide that is resistant to most blunt force attacks. Lagarto can change his size, growing more massive when he enters his feral states, and utilizes a combination of brute strength and incredibly sharp claws to attack his foes.
