Waylon Jones was a male human said to had been born 35 years ago in a Tampa slum area near the 22nd Street causeway. It was said that he had no parents and lived with his aunt who was a deadbeat where he had a hideous skin disease. This resulted in him being called Croc by the time he was 10 years old by all the other children who would repeatedly bully him as a result. One such incident led to him attacking his bully and leaving him badly injured which resulted in his arrest. This occurred in the south around 20 years ago where they responded to Waylon Jones by beating him severely whilst in jail. Since that time, he went in and out of juvenile hall multiple times over the years. When he was 16 years old, he committed his first adult crime where whilst in prison he was finishing a 3-year sentence for robbery when some new prisoner made a joke about his face. In response, Waylon killed the man where it took six guards to restrain the berserk Jones and he received the death penalty. Before the sentence was carried out, the supreme court declared the verdict unconstitutional and intense Croc was commuted to life imprisonment. (Batman v1 #359)
