Suicide Squad: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

12. Killer Croc

Suicide Squad Ensemble
Warner Bros.

If this ranking was based purely on design, there's a good chance Killer Croc would be pretty high up. He's fearsome, he swaggers menacingly and the few flashes of fighting we get from him are exactly what you'd expect from a monster.

But unfortunately, the directing decides to not have him play the monster, and rather to cast him as a sort of walking mood board - a reaction meme who pulls faces as things happen to other people. And then when he's given a few bits of dialogue, they're only as good as "I'm beautiful" and some sort of nonsense about living in a sewer and the soldiers only being on vacation.

They should have had him playing your traditional massive monster, smashing up the scenery and staying silent. But no, instead he's given an awful bayou drawl and very little combat. It's just bonkers.

And to think - Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje apparently went through rigorous preparation for the role. Precisely none of it shows.
