Damon Ryder
At some point, Ryder developed a theory that there was an evolutionary link between dinosaurs and man. Thus, he began to engage in research work to explain this missing gap by attempting to engineer a human/dinosaur hybrid through recombinant methods. At the university, Doctor Ryder came to hear about Ben Reilly who Professor Epstein had praised. Later on, Damon would apply for a lab assistant position where he would work with Reilly after his previous aide had left. (Amazing Spider-Man v1 #608)
Afterwards, the two came to be close friends though despite that Damon knew very little about Ben's life. He did not notice that Reilly seemingly had no family or other friends. To that end, he invited Ben to his home to meet his wife and children as they had heard so much about Reilly. (Amazing Spider-Man v1 #608)
Whilst drunk, Ryder and Reilly continued talking about their research work. There came to be worries regarding the funding of their research though Damon believed that Ben had solved the research problem in batch 896. Ryder then decided to use this to help engineer the world's first human/dinosaur hybrid. In reality though, Ryder was looking not to grow such a creature but rather insert the recombinant DNA into an already living test subject namely himself. The next day, Ben re-examined their findings and discovered what Damon had been doing and confronted him on the matter. (Amazing Spider-Man v1 #608)
Later on, he decided to confront 'Ben' at the Front Line offices. However, the person claimed that Damon had the wrong person. Despite that, Ryder refused to listen despite 'Ben' being identified as Peter Parker.
