So you’re saying he can be the Lizard else possibly.
I don’t think anyone can deny how interesting it is that he’s looking for lab assistants the same day that the Lizard was announced. Research on Curt Conners shows he was a scientist.

I'm not the one unwilling to wire transfer to reveal my identity. I would be fine wire transferring Rubik to prove I'm still Miles Warren. I just don't want to hire a supervillain which is why I'm being so cautious.
As Jonah's Robot squeezes tighter and tighter, it's clear that, despite all his powers, Spider-Mancannot defeat this thing. Barring some unforeseen interruption, this "Spider Slayer" could quite possibly squeeze the life out of him (or at least squeeze enough air out of him to have him pass out and unmask him before turning him over to the police). But fortunately for our titular hero, just such an interruption occurred in the form of two other super-powered dudes having a go at it.
An explosion rocks times square as a massive plume of sand rises above the city skyline. Screams can be heard even at this great distance. Spidey seizes his moment to escape by appealing not to the machine, but the man.
"Jonah, I know we have our differences, but if you don't let me go right now, people will die," he shouts, pointing in the direction of the chaos being caused by Sandman. "Even your newspaper printed a warning about how dangerous Sandman is. You may have your doubts about me, but you KNOW he's a killer! You have to let me go. I'm the only one who can fight him."
"But... I'm so close to beating you... If I just had a bit more time, I'd win... I can't let you go. I won't!" The mad newsman's face says from beyond the monitor.
"Yes, Jonah, if you had more time you would win, but those people screaming don't have more time to give you. You get to decide right now if they live or die. My fate, and theirs, is in your hands. Are you a True American Hero, or aren't you?! You can't just let them die. Murdered by a super-powered madman, just like your son." Spidey knew these last words would hurt but he had to get through Jonah's thick skull. He just had to.
"My son..." Jonah's grip relaxes on the controls, and Spider-Man escapes the tendrils of the Mark I Spider Slayer.
Without a word the hero leaps to the air and goes swinging towards the action.
"This isn't over, Spider-Man!" Jonah screams after him, vowing he hasn't seen the last of the Spider Slayer.
Spidey doesn't pay him an ounce of thought as he races to get there in time...
...But he was too late. The Sandman had already beaten Silverfish to within an ounce of his life.
"Sandman! Let him go!"Spider-Man shouted from above.
The Sandman looks up, confused. "Spider-Man?! But I thought you were..." He releases the limp body of the person he thought was Spider-Man, but as it turns out, it was all smoke and mirrors, for he had actually beat up Mysterio, Master of Illusions!
Angry at being deceived, Sandman turns to face his true foe, but then takes a dozen bullets to the face, as the men and women of the NYPD opened fire now that his "hostage" was no longer in harm's way.
Sandman grits his sandy teeth and says "This isn't over, Spider-Man," before escaping by turning into a cloud of sand and floating away on the wind.
"Yeah, yeah, get in line," the hero whispers under his breath, exhausted. He lets Sandman escape in order to check if Mysterio is still alive, which, thankfully, he was. The cops take him into custody shortly after.

i'm guessing they just didn't get around to accepting the discord invitation before the day ended. Zinger didn't add them manually so i'm guessing they're meant to join the server/channel in costume, which might be a bit of a hassle.
