Character History
The killer of the Krok - the villain, because of the genetic failure outwardly similar to Refilia. DC Comics Character is one of the sworn enemies of Batman, who lost the human appearance.History of character creation
In different versions of comic, a man looked like an anthropomorphic crocodile, then a person suffering from a disease with disfigured appearance. Unlike other opponents of the Dark Knight, this villain appeared relatively recently, in 1983, together with Robin (Jason Todd).
An unusual image gave the killer to the confession of comic fans. Soon was popular in animation, computer games and books. As a result, the monster today has about 10 interpretations.
The most popular of them are tied to the role of Gangster and the serial killer. As the last croc, the mad and shows a tendency to cannibalism. In the first case, this is a dangerous criminal with a congenital defect.
In all descriptions, the hero is incredibly strong and uses the fact that inspires the fear of appearance and animal habits.
At first, the antagonist appeared to anyone a non-famous figure in the raincoat. Despite the possession of physical power, the monster uses and cunning. For example, to eliminate enemies wielding a sniper rifle. A true face can only be seen in the comic finals when Batman sees a crocodulopod-like person.
In the future, the authors of the antagonist - Jin Poland and Kurt Swan - gradually recycled the appearance of the hero, giving him more animal traits. So, in the latter appearances, the mutant acquired a powerful tail and an elongated head. In many ways, such metamorphoses are explained by the attempts of the villain to overcome the genetic deviation. A series of unsuccessful interventions only aggravated the process.
Despite the fact that the character's history is inextricably linked with crimes, the lizard-like antagonist itself in some interpretations is pity. The reason for his cruelty lies in childhood, because being a child, the hero became the object of ridicule.
Subsequently, animal instincts began to bother over human nature, and the hatred of the whole person simply overthrew the mind. Often, the mutant tried to protect others, for example, went to live in the swamp, considering himself a wild beast.
Such an ambiguous interpretation gave the ground for reflection. It came to the point that the man has tried an amplua not only the villain, but also in the complex circumstances of a sick person.
The image and biography of Krok's killer
Present character name - Waylon Jones. The boy was born with a rare species of skin disease - ichthyosis. The consequences of such a mutation immediately appeared on the body: it began to be covered with horny scales.
