ARKHAM ORIGINS SERIES 2: KILLER CROC

A super villain in the world of Batman, Killer Croc was created by writers Gerry Conway and Gene Colan. He was drawn by comic book illustrators Don Newton and Curt Swan. Killer Croc first appeared in Batman number 358 published 1983.
Killer Croc’s real name is Waylon Jones. He was born with a rare skin condition that worsens over time and ultimately transformed him into a reptilian like creature hence the nick name Killer Croc. When he was a young kid Waylon was abused by his guardian. Finally the day came when Waylon snapped and killed his abusive aunt for treating him wrongly. The murder of his aunt kick started Waylon’s criminal career until he was defeated by the dark knight.
