Killer Croc was created to mimic Wonder Man in everyway except with a reptile backstory. He was a crocodile rip off of Wonderman. He's basically Wonderman if he became a crocodile.
"How Killer Croc came to be? Heh, that's an interesting one, Gene, you want to take this? No? Well alright.So one night me and Gene were blitzed out of our minds doing coke one night, and we were sitting there reading I think it was that issue where Wonderman was fighting Thor. And I look at this crocodile poster Gene had one his wall where this Croc was smoking a joint riding a motorcycle, and I said to Gene 'What if we combined this character with that [points at poster]?' And Gene is like, I'm already pitching it to Marvel. Marvel of course didn't want an exact replica of their beloved character as a croc in their company *laughs*, so we pitched it to DC, and they loved it.
But yeah, Killer Croc is intended to be an exact of Wonderman in everyway except looks... well I guess he is handsome for a reptile isn't he? *laughs*"

What about Omac (Buddy Blank)?

Great interview.
Clearly Killer Croc and Simon trading blows would erase both marvel and dc as neither were meant to share the same pages of a book.
Their similarities remind me of black manta and kingpin. The archenemy of the king of fish and the arch enemy of the king of arachnids. Two blatant homages to each other.

Wonder Man has probably been pretending to be weaker than he actually is. He's likely going to begin looking a lot like Hollywood (his future self). Marvel can and always had the ability to inflate Simon due mainly to having never really delving into how powerful a character filled with the type of energy that he is composed of. This is of course just my opinion formed of pure speculation, but Marvel could easily boost Simon up to Nefaria levels by just allowing him to control his powers, or giving him the ability to increase his might by drawing on ambient energy sources. For now, I agree with most opinions of where he would sit on the DC power chart.

Yes, his one good feat. It keeps getting reposted.
Doesn't count in neither DCnU nor Rebith and even if we allow it, it remains one good showing against the dozens that Namor has.
