Waylon Jones, known as Killer Croc, is a formidable villain in the DC Comics universe, primarily associated with Batman. He suffers from a genetic condition resembling epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, causing his skin to progressively harden and scale, giving him a reptilian appearance.

Born in poverty and enduring a difficult childhood, Jones developed violent tendencies and was often ostracized due to his increasingly monstrous appearance. He initially worked as a sideshow attraction before turning to a life of crime in Gotham City.

Croc's condition grants him superhuman strength, enhanced durability, and heightened senses, particularly smell. His reptilian physiology also allows him to survive in harsh environments and withstand extreme temperatures. He typically resides in Gotham's sewers, considering them his territory.

While often depicted as a brute, Killer Croc's intelligence varies. He is sometimes portrayed as cunning and strategic, capable of leading criminal organizations. Despite his monstrous appearance and violent nature, some stories explore themes of loneliness and a desire for acceptance within the character.
