Summary: Nine Crocodile is from another timestream that is slowly collapsing. By unravelling our timestream he hopes to save his own. He and his Ebonati have set up a base in the liquid core of 5-Worlds, a world representative of all time in our own. From there he sends agents to create paradox, playing hell with our time. Caza discovered his plot in the 23rd century, and managed to escape with his prototype time machine before his lab was destroyed, and now travels time preventing or undoing Krok's work.

History:

Comments: Created by Doug Moench.

   Krok cannot breathe for long without his mask because of an injury Caza gave him in the past.

   As revealed in an article in Comics Scene#26 from 1992, there were plans to revive Aztec Ace for a new miniseries that would delve into the backstory of Nine-Crocodile. Unfortunately Eclipse went bust before this happened, though not before Doug Moench got some way into writing the new story. Thanks to a Kickstarter campaign Aztec Ace got a collected edition released in 2022, and in the introduction Doug Moench mentioned the possibility of this abandoned story finally seeing publication. Fingers crossed!
