History: (Daredevil I#135) – Former heavy-weight champion "Killer" Croesus, a little drunk, inspired his men to attack Daredevil when he passed by them. Daredevil simply rushed away as Croesus shouted threats after him.

(Punisher I#2) – Croesus was killed by the Punisher, who mixed Drano into the criminal's sweet-and-sour sauce.

Comments: Created by Marv Wolfman, Bob Brown and Jim Mooney.

Croesus' appearance in Punisher I#2 lists him as "Killer" Croesus, suggesting that his last name might actually be Croesus. -Proto-Man

A quick Google search for "Croesus" reveals he was an ancient historical king. I'm not sure why this character used that name. To learn more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croesus
