Title:
Croc Master and Fiona
Description:
Croc Master was a former alligator wrestler and burglar alarm salesman that resided in Florida. He founded Guard-Gators Inc., a company specializing in training alligators for home security. His advertisements in Florida newspapers garnered the attention of Cobra and he was then hired by the Baroness to handle security on Cobra Island.
In the current IDW continuity of G.I. Joe, Croc Master’s origin is retold in G.I. Joe: Cobra #7. He was raised in the Florida Everglades by his father, an alligator farmer who dubbed himself "The Croc Master”. His mother was murdered, presumably by his father, but he was so young that he had no recollection of her or her death. His father mistreated him as a child and withheld him from attending school because he believed him to be "too dumb”. He often took care of the few crocodiles that his father had on the farm, treating them like his pets. One day, as a teenager, he returned home to find his crocodile killed and skinned by his father, who was selling the skin to a European business man. Filled with anger, he knocked his father into the swamp and unlatched the alligator pen and watched as the alligators ate his father alive. After murdering his father, Croc Master takes on his father’s mantle. He continues on with the family business, although instead of selling alligators he becomes a go-between for narcotics trafficking. He begins to engage in acts of "Eco-terrorism” in the Florida Everglades, halting forest and swamp destruction as well as killing animal hunters and poachers. He draws the attention of Cobra, who’s business division Extensive Enterprises is on the receiving end of his eco-terroist acts. Xamot Paoli attempts to recruit him, but Croc Master isn’t convinced until approached by Venomous Maximus, a member of Serpentor’s religious group The Coil. While working for Tomax and Xamot, Croc Master is seen as an unusual character, living in the sewers with his crocodiles and presumably cannibalized one of his adjuncts. His appearance closely resembles that of his Marvel comics version, just much less muscular. Croc Master is killed by Erika Le Tene, the adjunct to the Paoli Twins, in G.I. Joe: Cobra #3 as she attempts to flee the Extensive Enterprise compounds upon learning of Tomax’s plan to have her killed.
