I could be wrong, but I have a feeling the character of Curt Connors/The Lizard was grafted onto the Doctor Octopus character. All the stuff about Ock being a good man underneath but being posessed by evil impulses are Connors. Look at the finale - in the climactic moment, Spidey electrocutes Ock. But then Ock comes at him again and Spidey has to convince Ock he's a good man. Why this double climax? This would work far better, and make more sense, if Spidey electrocuted Ock, he was out of the game, and then the Lizard grabbed Spidey by the throat, and Spidey had to convince him to do the right thing. The line, "I will not die a monster" makes far more sense coming from the Lizard/Connors.
