“ In 24 hours, I will murder the Batman, and Killer Croc will become Gotham's new king of crime!! „
~ Killer Croc to the other Gotham criminals in the cover of Batman #359

“ Stop me? You worms-- how can any of you stop me? Back in Florida, I was a sideshow freak-- I wrestled alligators to entertain the marks! I broke their backs with my bare hands! Then I got smart, I had the strength, I had the hate-- why shouldn't I use it to get what I wanted? "Killer Croc"--That's what they called me. But some day, some day, I knew they'd call me King! „
~ Killer Croc to S.T.A.R. Labs workers, Detective Comics #523

“ From now on, I call the shots, I give the orders. Some of you know me. For the rest of you, my name is Croc. King Croc! I rule Gotham City, and if there's a man among you who wants to challenge that rule, I'll kill him-- like I killed the Batman! „
~ Killer Croc to other gang lords, Batman #359

“ They made me. Do it. Made me. Hungry. Think a' their smells. Their tastes... Hush. Riddler. Black Mask. Batman. Alla 'em. Mouth waters. Gut burns. Gonna love-- every bite. „
~ Killer Croc vows revenge as his mind deteroriates due to the Hush virus, Detective Comics #810

“ What can I tell ya? Bein' a reptile man ain't pretty. But it's got its upsides. Like having the strength of a crocodile, for instance. „
~ Killer Croc in "Vendetta", Batman: The Animated Series

“ I'm a victim of prejudice. Look at me. Nobody understands how rough my life's been, just 'cause I'm... different. „
~ Killer Croc in court, in "Love Is a Croc", The New Batman Adventures

“ Batman: Tens of thousands of lives could be lost.
Killer Croc: And I'll shed a crocodile tear for each and every one. 		„
~ Batman and Killer Croc in "Swamped", The Batman

“ I’ve got your scent, Batman! I will hunt you down. A toy collar won’t stop me from killing you, Batman. I’ll rip you apart. Eat your bones. „
~ Killer Croc threatening Batman at the beginning of Batman: Arkham Asylum

“ Your scent is... different. I smell death on you. I don't need to fight you, Batman. I just need to wait. And then... I will feed on your corpse. „
~ Killer Croc sparing a sickened Batman, Batman: Arkham City

“ Atavism in animals can result in legs on a whale. Teeth in a chicken. Atavism in a human being-- that can result in me. Waylon Jones. The Killer Croc. „
~ Killer Croc's opening narration, from Batman and Robin (2011) #23.4

“ All your life they told you... What you cannot have. What you could not be. Because you were weak. Because you were poor. Because you were a freak. They were wrong. While they fight and kill each other over tiny shreds of territory: dock, alleys, streets. You are part of something bigger. An underground empire. The largest territory in all of Gotham City. You are my eyes, above the surface. And I am the deadly jaws beneath it! „
~ Killer Croc to his followers, as they proceed to chant "King Croc", Batman and Robin (2011) #23.4

“ As a kid, I was afraid of the dark. But the older I get, the more I like it, crave it. The darker it gets, the better I can almost convince myself I'm human. That my whole life is ahead of me. A future that isn't Belle Reve one day and brutal violence the next. I'd be better off as a brain in a jar. Free. From this sentence, Waller yelling in my head, the missions, the crap memories. But I'll never be free. My prison is me. „
~ Killer Croc's inner monologue in Suicide Squad: Most Wanted – El Diablo and Killer Croc #4

“ Killer Croc: This battle... This struggle to keep any sense of normality... Just when I get a taste of it, it's taken away... This life is a living death.
Batman: This doesn't excuse what you did in kidnapping those people, but I can't blame you for giving in to your base emotions-- we all do. I find my mask's getting harder to take off lately, but you have to try harder.
Killer Croc: At least you have a mask. I can't take this off. Ever.
Batman: We've all had something taken away from us that ends up changing us. It's not giving in to the darkness that defines us, Waylon.
Killer Croc: Thanks, Batman.
Batman: For what?
Killer Croc: For using my real name. 		„
~ Waylon reconciles with Batman, Detective Comics #1026

History[]

Waylon Jones was born with a form of atavism that imparted him with reptilian traits, being treated by a freak by everyone before he killed his alcoholic aunt for abusing him one time too many. Taking refuge in the sewers, Waylon eventually was found by the circus and joined the sideshow as the strongman wrestler "Killer Croc" Morgan. But when a performance in Gotham City ends horribly, Killer Croc loses it and ends up going on a killing spree that eventually lands him in Blackgate Prison where he becomes "king" while coming to the conclusion to become a monster in both body and spirit. Since then, Croc has become a reoccurring nemesis of Batman.

As per Son of Batman, Killer Croc can also use gene-manipulating steroids to augment his deformity to give him a reptilian appearance, which also happened in the comics after Hush injected a mutating virus into his bloodstream. It grants him regenerative powers similar to a reptile, armored skin invulnerable to most forms of abrasion and even high caliber weapons fired from a distance, superhuman strength and durability. His claws allow him to cut open doors or crush skulls and cut people clean in half, while his fangs can bite down through bone, metal and wood.

Transformations[]

Mutated Killer Croc (New 52)
[]
N52 Mutated Croc
  • After Maro Ito, a shapeshifting warlock under the service of Medusa, offered Croc a deal to get more power than he could've ever imagined, Croc followed Maro's commands to eat several irradiated cats and rats and drink the blood of virgins, performing a ritual that transformed Croc into a more monstrous version of himself and becoming Medusa's most terrifying warrior.
  • Following this "rebirth", Croc was more ferocious and superior in every respect to his "normal" self.
  • A new ability implied for him, befitting the Christian belief of a crocodile's maw being the gateway to Hell, his jaws now could send people to the Underworld.[13]
Hydra Killer Croc
[]
Hydra Croc
  • Following the ritual that mutated Croc in the previous section, Medusa herself had Croc shed his skin by drinking and being showered by the blood of her organization's followers, mutating into the titanic and mythical Hydra.
  • Croc's power is greatly enhanced in this form, able to tear down half of Gotham with ease, and even with Wonder Woman present, she struggled to fight him, and she says she only knew of two, maybe three people capable of killing it, referencing Green Lantern and Superman.
  • It can regrow two heads for each that is lost, much like the mythical Hydra.
  • Croc isn't fully in control of the Hydra, and mostly behaves like a rampaging animal.
  • Should Medusa die, Croc will revert back to his "normal" state, though the Hydra will live on inside of him and can be brought back if he takes enough damage.
  • In the Post-Flashpoint/Prime Earth continuity, the Hydra is still presumably within Croc, but hasn't been able to break free or tried to in a long time, potentially due to Croc having managed or found a way to keep the creature in check.
Giant Killer Croc
[]
Giant Killer Croc - Batman Unlimited
  • In the Batman Unlimited continuity, this transformation (simply referred to as "Giant Killer Croc" by DC material) was accessed through a compound created by Mister Freeze, a liquid that combines the components of: Bane and his well known enlarging super-steroid Venom, Clayface and his stretching body, and Chemo and his mutating acid body. Croc was used as the guinea pig due to his durable body.
  • As seen in the "Croc Rocks the Museum" short, Croc carries a serum injection (see Arsenal) through which he can turn into this form.
  • Grows in size and strength.
    • His size is rather inconsistent, but he's at the bare minimum as tall as a small apartment building.
  • Maintains his level of skill, able to match Batman's Bat-Mech which replicates his own martial arts level.
  • Keeps his potent tail, through which he's able to knock down opponents on par with him like Bane with a single swipe.
  • Is granted a Freeze Breath shot through his mouth like a beam. With it, he can cast winter into Gotham, freeze several skyscrapers and create a small blizzard.
    • To shoot the Freeze Breath, he must first consume vast amounts of water.
Source Wall Killer Croc
[]
Souce Wall Croc
  • In Rebirth's Justice League (Volume 4) #2, after an energy source containing all the power of the Source Wall landed in the Nevada desert named "the Totality" created a protective shell around itself and Killer Croc found a way inside the energy shell, he rematerialized elsewhere and transformed into something else entirely.
  • Considerably stronger and much larger than before, possessing all the power of the Source Wall and powerful enough and take on the entire Justice League at his least developed.
  • The Source Wall energy completely changed Croc's biology, his cells started to adapt, making him into a perfect monster to defend himself and fight the Justice League.

Flaws[]

  • Loses his sense of humanity at time due to his genetic disorder and suffering prejudice from others.
  • Sometimes depicted as being an idiot, usually due to his mutation deteriorating his mind.
  • His mutations are so unnatural that it can sometimes harms him. His reptilian features have sometimes started to decay [1]
  • Has a rock fetish. [2]
  • Egyptian Killer Croc 'looks dumber than usual' [3]
