Killer Croc, portrayed by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, is a DC Comics character adapted for the 2016 film Suicide Squad. First appearing in Batman #357, Waylon Jones suffers from a rare genetic condition that causes him to develop reptilian features, giving him a crocodile-like appearance and enhanced strength.

In Suicide Squad, Croc is depicted as a powerful and territorial metahuman held captive in Belle Reve Penitentiary. His aquatic adaptations, like the ability to breathe underwater, are featured, and he boasts incredible durability and regenerative abilities.

He is recruited into Amanda Waller's Task Force X, known as the Suicide Squad, to undertake dangerous missions in exchange for reduced sentences. His physical prowess and intimidating presence make him a formidable asset to the team, though his antisocial tendencies and brutal nature often clash with the other members.
