Security at the San Diego Comic-Con has felt the wrath of The Lizard.

Rhys Ifans, who plays the scaly villain in next summer's "The Amazing Spider-Man," got a bit unruly right before he took the stage in Hall H for the "Spider-Man" panel on Friday.

Ifans became irate when a member of his entourage was denied access to the convention due to a lack of proper credentials (if you don't have a badge, you don't get in, no exceptions!). He was allowed to participate in the panel but immediately after was arrested and cited for misdemeanor battery for shoving a female security guard.

"He was aggressive and belligerent," Lt. Andra Brown said of the Welsh actor. "He was... berating everyone from the security staff to the United States of America."

Beware the rage of Dr. Curt Connors! You can get all the juicy details, including an official statement from Lt. Brown, over at The Wrap.
