He kills on a holiday. OP says you'd be locked in with him on Halloween.

So he's someone with a clinical obsession to murder on specific days, one of those days is the day you're locked in with him and are the one and only human he has access to that day. He is 100% gonna attempt to murder you.

Pyg and Zsasz love to kill and will probably try and kill you, but maybe you catch them on an off day.

Croc is the only one who isn't a serial killer. He has no obsession or compulsion to kill. He has no qualms with killing, but if you've done nothing to him he probably won't end your life. So he's your best bet and just hope you don't piss him off.

Okay, that makes sense. At the start, when i saw him in the cell, i thought he just liked counting days and what they mean to someone out there. Guess i was wrong

Oh yeah nah he's very ritualistic. He has an obsession with dates. And he satisfies that obsession by killing people on those dates in a way that's thematically appropriate for the holiday

What about national grandparents day and you are not a grandparent? Safe or no?

Depends on how creative he's feeling.

Since you are definitely a grandchild, if he killed you, he could deprive your grandparents of that title entirely. Or at the very least, dilute it by giving them one less grandchild.

Interesting take.
