I feel like I tend to prefer Killer Croc, only because he's always a monster and harbors somewhat reasonable hatred of humanity. The Lizard is cool too though, and still one of my favorite Spider-Man villains.

I think what Dr. Kain is saying is that any time they make Killer Croc look like a Reptile they are Ripping off Spider-Man. If you want to get Technical it's really Man-Bat that the Rip off of Lizard. Both are Scientists who experiment on themselves and become Animalistic Humanoids. The problem is the people drawing KC are assuming he is much the same as Lizard and just draw him as such.
