Waylon Jones was born with a severe case of Epidermolytic Hyperkeratosis (a form of atavism) which caused his appearence to resemble that of a crocodile. Waylon's mother died in childbirth and his father abandoned him, leaving the child to be raised by his alcoholic, abusive aunt. As a teenager, he had no friends and was repeatedly brought into juvenile detention facilities for his violent behaviour (made more dangerous through his great strength) before being tried as an adult at age 16. He spent the next 18 years in prison, and was paroled despite murdering a fellow inmate for mocking his appearance. |

Biography
Childhood
Waylon Jones was born with a severe case of Epidermolytic Hyperkeratosis (a form of atavism) which caused his appearence to resemble that of a crocodile. Waylon's mother died in childbirth and his father abandoned him, leaving the child to be raised by his alcoholic, abusive aunt. As a teenager, he had no friends and was repeatedly brought into juvenile detention facilities for his violent behaviour (made more dangerous through his great strength) before being tried as an adult at age 16. He spent the next 18 years in prison, and was paroled despite murdering a fellow inmate for mocking his appearance.
Criminal Ambitions
After Waylon was released from prison, he joined a carnival sideshow, making money using his inhuman strength to wrestle alligators. After a while he realized that with both his strength to break the backs of alligators and his willingness to hurt others, he could profit quite handily in a life of crime. Calling himself Killer Croc (it is unclear if this was his stage name prior to being his criminal name), he plotted to muscle his way into Gotham's criminal underworld, with the assistance of mob ties from Tampa. After making a presence in Gotham and creating a gang, he returned to Florida to take revenge on a deputy who badly beat him when he was 10 years old.
