History: The Reptile Men are presumably one of the races mutated by the Atlanteans who once ran Pangea, but there is no evidence to support or refute this.

(Marvel Super-Heroes II#19 (fb) - BTS) - Quor's spaceship crashed on Earth, landing in the Savage Land. Using his advanced technology and knowledge, he quickly convinced a tribe of Reptile Men that he was to lead them. Needing the Anti-Metal (Antarctic Vibranium) to power his ship, he sent the Reptile Men to raid nearby tribes, such as the Golden People.

(Marvel Super-Heroes II#19) - The Reptile Men followed Quor's commands to raid other villages. One of their guards was ambushed and defeated by Ka-Zar, who then defeated Quor himself. Ka-Zar fought back a group of Reptile Men and then convinced them to flee by revealing their leader's defeat and loss of power.

The Reptile Men were once referred to as Swamp Men, so it's possible that they were a variant tribe that had just taken to wearing costumes, but I'm gong with a different race until further info is revealed.

I'm not sure who it really was that attacked Ka-Zar. It may have been some overzealous Golden People put on the defensive by the recent attacks, rather than the Reptile Men.
