Get the inside story. Armed to the Teeth It feels good to be bad…Assemble a team of the world's most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government's disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. Wexler uses the abilities afforded to him by the ring to control a horde of apparitions of ventriloquist dummies, as his trademark Scarface is notably absent.
But as a Black Lantern, the Ventriloquist has to consume something quite nauseating to survive: human brains. One of his claims to fame is that he murdered over a dozen women before consuming their bodies.
While he never went toe-to-toe with Batman directly, the Dark Knight and Gotham City are one and the same. As such, if you make a habit of terrorizing the citizens of Gotham City, once he dons the cowl, you'll be on the Batman's list. As a Black Lantern, KGBeast ripped out the hearts of his victims in order to sustain himself with the fear they experienced at the time of death.
The villain of the two-issue miniseries is Ted Krosby, a very deranged young man who is more often than not seen cavorting about in his underwear while covered in blood. Most, if not all of his victims were killed by knife, which admittedly must have made it lots easier for him to eat some the flesh of some of the victims and skin his father so he could wear his face. For starters, he ripped his own eye out. Flamingo AKA Eduardo Flamingo was brainwashed by the mob, and molded into the deranged serial killer we know today.
This is a practice he has been perfecting ever since his first few kills: his entire family. Oswald Cobblepot, to our knowledge has never actually consumed human flesh. While serving his step-mother her dinner, Oswald casually revealed that he had murdered his step-siblings, Charles and Sasha Van Dahl. In fact, besides Dracula and Batman, Creach is the only vampire shown to be able to transform into other forms, like a large wolf or bat.
In addition to super speed, strength, and stamina, Creach is largely invulnerable unless you were planning on taking him down with a stake to the heart and decapitating him. Creach is known to consume both human blood and flesh. Killer Croc really would be a maneater:. But does he really eat people? And it takes you to a certain level within yourself as a human, a darker side.
So when you ask me how do I go into that character, that is really my go-to kind of key. For the unfamiliar, the villain's appearance might imply that he is actually crocodilian. His appearance and origin story has been tweaked from comic to comic, but the basic idea is that Waylon Jones was the child of an abusive upbringing, meaning the insults and harm brought on by his rare skin condition weren't even the worst thing to happen to him.
In many ways, the cracking and toughening of his skin - making him resemble a crocodile - only made him as rough and harsh on the exterior as he was on the inside. Although Adewale confirmed that a similar origin story would be at work on Suicide Squad , David Ayer wasn't content with simply making Croc a 'monster. An aspiring foreign crime lord known as Bane witnessed Croc's rampage, and determined that defeating him would be a stepping stone on his personal path towards destroying Batman.
Before Bane could catch up with him though, Croc found himself facing neophyte vigilante Jean Paul Valley who was masquerading in a Batman costume at the time , as well Batman's young sidekick Robin. After nearly crushing "Batman's" rib-cage, Croc turned his attention to Bane, who wished to test the marauder's mettle. Powered by Venom, Bane effortlessly broke both of his opponent's arms and left as quietly as he'd come. Within days, Bane had freed the inmates of Arkham and Croc, his arms wrapped in fresh casts, was among the escapees in Batman Thirsting for revenge, Croc used his enhanced senses to zoom in on Bane's scent and interrupted the Santa Prisca villain's interrogation of Robin.
Without an infusion of Venom in his system, Bane suffered a few rough blows before recovering and smashing Croc's right arm again. Locked in combat, they fell into the rushing waters of the sewer and Croc vanished underwater once more. Killer Croc was lurking near the Gotham River, his broken limbs healing rapidly during the weeks since his beating by Bane. Croc returned to Gotham in an effort to re-establish himself in the criminal underworld.
He went on a brutal murder spree that claimed the lives of several members of the Paretti crime family operating out of Gotham's waterfront district.
The succession of deaths near the river led Robin to conclude that the culprit was the missing villain and he and the latest temporary Batman Dick Grayson took off to investigate. Going toe-to-toe with Croc for the first time near a warehouse, Dick acquitted himself nicely, breaking free of the ex-wrestler's back-breaking hold by clapping his hand around the green man's ears. Surviving members of the Paretti gang were present and opened fire on Croc severely wounding him.
Croc survived once again however and evaded capture. As he recovered from multiple gunshot wounds sustained in that last adventure, Croc found himself dreaming of a more serene existence in the swamps and, his mental faculties now truly reduced to Grundy-level proportions , was summoned by some strange paranormal force to break out of Arkham Asylum and make his way to the Louisiana swamps.
Batman was close behind, following the trail of wreckage. As the Dark Knight prepared to capture his foe, both men were stopped by the Swamp Thing , who revealed that he had summoned Croc to the bayou. The Swamp Thing offered Croc a place in the swampland where he could finally give in to his animal side and live free from human persecution. There he stayed, and Batman returned to Gotham City. In his current state of mind, Croc was regarded as "a primordial being" whose "madness and torment He will kill now And if ever again I will make you aware of it.
The swamp environment proved less than ideal. The Swamp Thing, distracted by his ascension through a series of elemental parliaments, had little patience for his new guest, physically strking Croc to teach him "his place It was one more bully in a life that had seen too many and Waylon Jones left the Swamp Thing to catch the next train out of Houma, enjoying a prize bull for a meal en route to Gotham Batman Chronicles 3.
A more mellowed Croc took up residence in Gotham's underground, his solitary existence interrupted by a wounded Man-Bat, whom he offered food and sympathy.
As his house guest flew off, Waylon cautioned him to "watch yourself out there this time, okay? It's a rough world, pal. He escaped one prison for another when Lock-Up and the Fabulous Ernie Chubb made Waylon Jones one of the feature attractions in a murderous pay-per-view series of wrestling matches. Thanks to weeks of torturous, abusive treatment, Killer Croc once again lived up to his name. Once Batman had arrested him in after a botched robbery in Resurrection Man 7 , Croc settled into a comfortable routine at Arkham, his mental stability actually helped by the regular interaction with other people for the first time in years.
Part of Croc's docile behavior was due to the regular supply of sedatives prescribed to him at Arkham. With the asylum in disarray following the Gotham earthquake, the Joker quietly slipped into the computerized records files and began changing the prescriptions.
Suddenly, Croc was receiving amphetamines six times a day. The geared-up Croc eventually killed fellow inmate Pinhead during a grudge match and escaped with the other criminals just as Gotham was declared a "No Man's Land".
As various parties began to seize different sections of their own, Croc became "a nomad, fighting whomever he finds". He was not pleased, to say the least, at news that a good samaritan providing services to the disenfranchised of Gotham was being referred to as the King.
Croc tracked down the so-called King—a reformed crook named Stanley Demchaszky—and threatened to kill him. He ended up sending the green man on a four-story tumble from a building with debris raining down on him. Croc had characteristically formed close bonds with the men in his gang and was outraged when one of them was critically injured by serial killer Victor Zsasz.
Though desperate to kill Zsasz, himself a patient of Doctor Leslie Thompkins, Croc agreed to abide by the cease-fire that she had declared in the makeshift hospital. All bets were off when Zsasz escaped. Batman separated the two killers as they wrapped their hands around each other's throats, restraining Zsasz while Croc escaped Batman Chronicles As the chaos during No Man's Land was winding down, Croc was preparing to return to the persona of gang lord that he'd once craved.
Now wearing an expensive designer suit, he proclaimed to his followers that "I ain't going back to the sewers! That's over!
