Waylon Jones

**Waylon Jones** (ウェイロン・ジョーンズ, *Weiron Jōnzu*), also known as **Killer Croc** (キラークロック, *Kirā Kurokku*), is fictional character and antagonist of the *DC's* *Batman* series created by Jim Lee. He is a human/reptile hybrid, ex-mercenary, and crook in Gotham City.

He rarely makes a move on his own, tending to joining animal-themed villains, known as the Animalitia, to wreak mayhem on Gotham City. This Killer Croc is more intelligent incarnation as he is capable of thinking rather clever ideas in order to obtain money.

Compared to his other past incarnations, Killer Croc actually has a Cajun accent, takes the appearance of an even more reptilian hybrid and crocodile-like, and even has a tail, fitting better with his alias.

"*Name's Croc. Killer Croc. But you can call me 'Boss'.*"

### Biography

A half-man, half-reptile, Killer Croc wants to submerge all of Gotham in water in order to facilitate his plundering of the city.

Bio: His true origin unknown, Killer Croc is a virtual powerhouse. With the strength of a crocodile (and a tail to boot), Croc is able to chomp and swim his way around Gotham.

After flooding the city so it's banks were easy to pillage, Croc was eventually taken down by Batman. Though the battle was lengthy, Batman exploited Killer Croc's weakness for air underwater and half-drowned him, depriving him of oxygen and putting him in an unconscious state.
