Waylon Jones, more commonly known as Killer Croc, is a notorious criminal and one of Batman's common opponents. Born with a form of atavism and a rare mutation, and has the strength, speed, agility, fangs & claws, healing rate, amphibian attributes & aggression of an actual reptile. After years of being raised by an alcoholic aunt who bullied him over his appearance, Waylon killed her, pushing him to a life of crime.
Croc's genetic mutation caused his body to grow to grotesque proportions, with his skin becoming hardened and scaly. Originally an alligator wrestler, Killer Croc eventually became detached from humanity, and his misanthropy grew as did his bestial nature. This allowed him to murder, mutilate and cannibalise dozens of people for no other reason than sheer misanthropic hate and lust for blood.
Background[]
Born with a form of atavism and a rare mutation that made his skin green and scaly, Waylon Jones was raised by an alcoholic aunt in a northern Florida slum. Relentlessly bullied because of his appearance, he eventually snapped and was sent to a reform school. With little education and a sociopathic hatred for all "normal" people, Jones became a petty criminal and a fully fledged murderer by his 18th birthday.
