* '''Deconstructed''': Even though Lizardax can regenerate, all the wounds he constantly receives still hurt. Eventually he gets fed up with his team always expecting him to be the meat shield, and quits.
* '''Reconstructed''': While Lizardax despises the pain that comes along with his power, he finally comes to terms with it, and accepts it as a price he has to pay in order to put his abilities [[SamaritanSyndrome at service of those that need them most]]. After all, if someone has to bite the bullet, [[NegateYourOwnSacrifice it's better if it is the guy capable of surviving it]].

* '''Exaggerated''': [[TheBlob Ambercrombie the Amorphous]] is able to regenerate FromASingleCell - [[EverythingTryingToKillYou and is constantly forced to prove it]].

* '''Justified''': Lizardax has had regenerative powers for quite some time, and simply forgot that he should avoid danger.

* '''Subverted''': After showing his resistance to stab and bullet wounds, Lizardax is KilledOffForReal by a massive explosion.

* '''Double Subverted''': But later, it turns out he was NotQuiteDead.

* '''Zig Zagged''': Lizardax gets sick of having to go through the pain of injury and regeneration all the time, and in a fit of rage purposely exposes himself to a PowerNullifier. As soon as he's depowered, he's forced to rescue his team from a deadly situation and in the process of doing so, gets injured just as soften as when he could heal, nearly killing him. His team are awed at his bravery and resolve to have more respect for him, while he realises that even without powers he still suffers from ChronicHeroSyndrome. He gets his powers back... and instantly gets hit by a truck, which he shrugs off in a matter of minutes.

* '''Conversed''': ???

* '''Averted''': ???

* '''Defied''': While Lizardax regenerative powers are incredibly effective, they don't come along with a [[RequiredSecondaryPowers null / reduced pain threshold]], so he prefers to avoid messy injuries as much as possible, because they still hurt as hell.
* '''Discussed''': "From paper-cuts to burns to bullet-holes to missing limbs, why are you so accident-prone?" "In most cases, i just forget to be careful."

* '''Played For Laughs''': ???
