History
Waylon Jones was born with a hereditary disease that caused him to progressively become more reptilian as he became older.
He started off life a small and dark African American boy, rail thin and short, he began to grow various legions and abrasions on his form and by his teens was a hideous visage. Joneses mother died giving birth to him out of wedlock in a Florida slum. Waylon was raised by his alcoholic aunt, who apparently did little or nothing to instill a sense of morality in the deformed boy.
Bullied by other children over his hideous appearance, Jones finally fought back against his tormentors in a rage and crippled one of them with the increased strength his deformity gave him. As a result, Waylon was sentenced to reform school, where he encountered still more prejudice and abuse, further embittering him. Each time he was freed from the reform school, he turned to crime, was later captured, and was always sent back to juvenile hall. On his last stay there, Jones murdered another inmate who had taunted him over his appearance. Waylon was condemned to death and sent to state prison, but his sentence was ultimately commuted to life imprisonment. Finally, after eighteen years behind bars, Jones was paroled.
Waylon began to wander throughout the country, eventually finding a job as an alligator wrestler at a carnival, where he first gained the name of "Killer Croc," the human alligator. Tiring of working as a freak-show attraction, Croc resumed to crime in hopes of finding greener pastures, eventually becoming a small-time extortionist in Gotham City with aspirations of moving into the world of organized crime.
Hugely ambitious, Croc soon found him-self working as a gangster. He murdered the Gotham crime boss known as the Squid and attempted to unite that city's criminal gangs under his leadership, pledging to them that he would earn the right to their allegiance by killing Gotham's costumed protector, the Batman. Killer Croc clashed with the Batman repeatedly, finally leading a large number of the Dark Knight's most notorious foes, including the Joker, the Riddler, and the Penguin, in an all-out effort to destroy their enemy. Batman over-came these seemingly insurmountable odds and emerged the victor, capturing Croc.
Killer Croc was judged criminally insane and imprisoned at Arkham Asylum. It was there that Croc engaged in a brutal battle against the Batman, when the asylum was taken over by a number of inmates led by the Joker. Though wounded, the Batman defeated Croc, and the legal authorities regained control of the asylum.
More recently the Croc had cast in his lott with Hush, in hopes to finding a cure, although both the mad hatters mind control chip and an injection from Hush seems to be aggravating his condition to the point where his psyche is becoming far more animal than man, although he had claimed cannibalism before, his engorging himself on the remains of "Orca" proved this to be anything but a tall tail.
Characteristics
Age: 38
Height: 8'
Weight: 268lbs
Eyes: Red
Hair: None
Unusual Features: Leather like skin, crocodile like visage, large tail, dinosaur like feet
Personality:
The Croc's personality is about as akin to his reptilian namesake as the Croc's visage in fact is. He is short tempered, impatient, no nonsense, no humor, powder keg. He is untrusting, untrustworthy, scheming, conniving, backstabbing man, in short, his bitterness over the years due to his deformity and status as a social outcast has taken a human being with little real potential to become a positive member of society and sucked out any real possibility that he have any kind of redeeming quality or value to his person.
The Killer Croc, like most of Gotham's "Superstitious Cowardly Lot" has an intense hatred of The Goddamn Batman and will often foul a scheme simply to gain a better chance at ousting the dark knight in the midst of a well laid endeavor. The croc's continually advancing atavism condition has altered his psyche to make him even more violent and savage than he might have been genetically predisposed to be!
Powers
Known Powers:
Strength: Although the Croc's strength is nowhere near the likes of the heavy hitters of DC, his body seems slightly more dense than most, and heavy with scales, his form trained and shaped through a life and times of hardship has left Killer Croc physically strong enough to rip a vault's safe door off it's hinges with ease.
Speed: His namesake relatives, due to their fusiform shape can achieve impressive land speed, as ambush hunters. Croc, not having said shape (at least on land) being bipedal, however he is significantly faster than the average human, more so than the batman and defiantly more so than one would expect from a creature his size.
Reflexes and agility: another trait given over from his atavism. The Croc's reflexes are significantly greater than those of the average person to the point where he was able to have the Batman at his mercy on several occasions before the dark knight was able to mount any real defense, offense or counterstrike.
Durability: Due to the nature of his tough, strong and resistant scaly leathery skin Croc is strong enough to be invulnerable to abrasion and high caliber fire arms.
Healing factor: Croc possesses a healing factor which enables him to heal incredibly faster than the normal person, even when receiving the most grievous of injuries, while not superhuman in this regard, he does seem to have the reptiles ability to regenerate.
Enhanced Senses:Croc's hearing, and eyesight are especially acute, allowing him to see more akin to sensitive reptilians than humans, especially in darker and more dank habitats and watery chasms where a croc would nest. His sense of smell is also incredible, making him almost impossible to sneak up on and able to track targets over long distances from their smell.
teeth and claws:His claws seem to be sharp enough to slice through the batman's body armor, and while a croc's normal jaw can exert 3,000 psi, Croc's ability to nonchalantly bite through cuffs used to restrain much stronger super powered individuals seems to indicate his own jaws may be logarithmically more powerful.
Known Abilities:
Swimming: while no Aquaman, Croc seems to have the mobility and speed in the water that most of his namesake would be envious of.
Hand-to-Hand Combat:Killer Croc, because of his other gifts as well as a lifetime of practice, and experience in both street fighting and wrestling, is very well versed in melee combat, to the point where he has been able to give the batman a fight and put him down more than his fair share of times.
Tail: for actual crocodiles the tail serves as a rudder and propels them through the water, Croc's does the same while he is submerged, however on land, it is somewhat more versatile, being able to be used to grip an object dexterously or swat a target bluntly.
Reptile Kinship:Croc seems to have a kinship especially with alligators and crocodiles, which he often keeps as pets in his hideout, however this kinship does not end with those two forms of reptiles, he seems to have such a kinship with ALL reptiles.
Firearms:Croc is professionally trained in firearms and street weapons (blunt weapons such as pipes, chains, bats, piercing weapons one would use on the street such as knives) and is a shot comparable to a professional sniper, he knows quite a bit about firearms. He has, as his mind has began to degenerate, eschewed their use in favor of a more personal and savage MO, namely his teeth and claws. As his body is changing and his hands and fingers are a good bit less dexterous he has difficulty tacitly handling these weapons.
Strength Level:Under optimal conditions, Croc can lift 5 tons.
Weaknesses:
Mentality:because of both his mind's spiral downward into a savage psyche, and his own foul temperateness and lack of Patience, his mentality can often be a hindrance, whether it be because he can no longer formulate a plan, nor follow one through, he has gone from a collected schemer to a rabid thug, he's simply becoming a monster.
Sickness:Croc's physical deformity combined with his new virus, which is rapidly causing him to mutate and his mind to degenerate has him both very desperate, to the point where he will do anything for the cure to his condition, in hopes of keeping his mind from slipping away, like sand through his scaly fingers.
Mutation:even before his infamy as the Killer Croc, Waylon was not able to go anywhere without being noticed, as such now it is impossible for him to walk the streets and keep a low profile.
Mouth:Although at this point in his life Croc's entire form is mutated with a toughness that most high caliber weapons cannot hope to penetrate, like most of his reptilian friends, his inner mouth is incredibly sensative. When punctured this causes him extreme pain, often to the point of having him pass out entirely.
Hyper sonics: A weakness the dark knight has often exploited, due to his ultra acute sense of hearing higher decibel noises can cause the croc to become frantic, continuously or loudly enough will result in dizziness, extreme discomfort, pain, and eventually for him to pass out.

Sample RP Post
Cogs and gears, nightmares for years. Who was really insane? The ones that claimed to be normal or the ones that admitted to their crazed ambitions and strange fetishes? Was there even such a thing as normal? Wasn't everything differant? Didn't everything have differant personalities? So perhaps oneof the personalities of one creature might be rather twisted, but doesn't everyone have twisted thoughts atleast once in their lives? What about twisted dreams? So why were these others, with their blood crazed feelings, so outcast and feared? Perhaps it is because the so called "normal" simply fear the unknown. Or perhaps it is beching to answer the thoughts that swirled wickedly throughout the massive beast's head in the desolate park but the caressing winds that wove through the trees and sent the branches shaking tremulously. The sky was sanguine, ebony and vast, clouds nothing bause they fear the so called "insane" themselves. There was notut faint shadows upon the dark, unmoving atmosphere specked with glittering stars that looked down upon the world with silent vigilance.
Did they think of insanity the same as he did, the monstrous, scaly creature hiding amidst the wavering shadows of a thriving elm? Did anything? Hellish eyes burned with rage and unsatable bloodlust as they scanned the park that was nestled between towering skyscrapers and silent black roads, searching for something, anything, that could tell him who he really was. Killer Croc, or Waylon Jones? Was it even possible to be both? All this time he had been possessed by the green, scaly demon that forced him to do such horrid deeds each day, the young, abused soul of Waylon trapped helpless inside with no one to save him. It was getting to the agonizing point where Croc just didn't want to be saved anymore. All he wanted was to punish the true demons of Earth, to punish those who thought it funny to abuse and terrorize him. So many times Croc had swore revenge on the whole of humanity. Why did he have to be born differant? Why was he cursed? Tainted with the blood of an animal. No one wanted to help him, never had. They all just ran away in fear or wanted him dead. They had tried to kill him! Well now it was his turn, and they would know what it felt like to be terrorized. He would slaughter them all, one by one. He would embrace his inner animal, and become the monster everyone wanted him to be. For he was Killer Croc, the terror of Gotham.
