1. lizard is not as strong as creed.(lizard is strong,but creed is stronger/wolverine would still be able to throw lizard if he wanted to)
2. lizard is not anywhere near skilled enough to take on creed.(lizard justs attacks with instinct, but has no real fight training, hell anyone can attack in a blind rage.)
3.lizard is not as cunnin' in battle as creed.(lizard is book smart, not too fight smart)
4. lizard can't heal anywhere near as good as creed.(lizard can heal,but he is nothing compared to creed/wolverine's healing factor.)
5.lizard is not as fast as creed.(lizard could only whip his tail around at near bullet speeds like a whip, but he was no where near fast enough to keep up with sppiderman without using his tail or cathing spiderman off guard caus espiderman slacks off alot.)
And creed is almost on par with wolverine.
(except he is way stronger than wolverine and thats his only advantage.)
Wolverine(who is unbreakable,can cut through anything, can heal from being an eyeball, can go toe to toe with cap and hulk) kills lizard in the time it took me to type this post.
