If anything, if you were going to do a non-villainous Croc, Hillan's app helps as it establishes Croc is no longer a bad guy. Pretty easy to pivot from there into branching out as an (anti-?)hero.

This was my thought process as well - Hillan's pretty much tee'd up the ball for you to tap in. Already established Croc is at worst an anti-villain in this canon, and also given you pre-existing connection to another character for collabs.
