Origin
Many years ago on the island of Santa Prisca, a group of revolutionaries conducted a failed coup against the reigning government. Those that survived the three day massacre were arrested and detained at the prison facility known as Peña Duro. One of the prisoners was a slender woman, heavy with child. Her husband was one of many killed during the bloody campaign. In accordance to a centuries old law, the punishment of the father must be carried out by the son, should the father fail to survive in order to serve his sentence. The woman gave birth to her child, and he was raised a prisoner in the deepest pits of Peña Duro.
When he was only six years old, his mother passed away, and the orphan was forced to bear witness as the prison guards callously threw her corpse into shark-infested waters off the cliffs of Punto De Tiburon. Completely alone, the child became prey to the savage inmates at Peña Duro. Rather than succumb to the pressures of prison life, he grew stronger from it, and eventually took to calling himself, Bane.
As Bane grew older, he earned the attention of several other inmates including an aging physician named Zombie, a brutish man named Trogg, and an American named Bird. These men recognized Bane's strength and value and pledged to follow him loyally.
Bane eventually became the most feared man in all of Peña Duro. The prison's warden grew nervous as he came to realize that the prisoners under his charge had more to fear from Bane, than from the warden himself. In order to demoralize the prisoners, the warden had Bane placed in solitary confinement for ten years. The inhumane treatment only served to strengthen Bane even more, and when he emerged, his reputation had become the stuff of legend.
In later years, a scientific research team established themselves at Peña Duro, and used the prison for a source of resources with which to conduct their experiments. They developed a steroid compound code named Venom and tested the drug on many prisoners. However, none of the men that had been put through the Venom process were strong enough to survive the procedure. The warden selected Bane as the science team's next volunteer.
Bane's physical hardiness and unbreakable resolve enabled him to survive the process. The Venom drug increased his overall muscle mass a hundredfold, and he became nearly unstoppable.
At this point, Bane decided to leave Peña Duro forever. He falsified his own death, knowing that the prison guards would cast his body off of Punto De Tiburon, just as they had done with his mother, years before. When his body hit the water, Bane revived himself and took command of an army helicopter. Gathering together his friends, Zombie, Bird and Trogg, he killed the Warden and left the island of Santa Prisca.
Place of Birth: Santa Prisca
Known Relatives: King Snake (father, deceased)
History
After escaping, Bane started off doing small time mercenary and hired thug work within Gotham. Originally hired under Gotham's Mob to be a bodyguard for their top Crew and made men's family, his notorious ability quickly got him the attention of the various villains of Gotham, most notably that of ones who wished to be rid of the Batman, seeing Bane as a grunt. They were unaware of his intelligence however and he used his ability to gather his own men and resources. By taking his work outside of Gotham, he for the most part avoided Batman's detection. However, this wasn't always true and they clashed a few times, Bane fascinated by Batman's ability and strength, considering him the only 'Worthy' individual in Gotham City.
So, he decided to work himself up outside of Gotham. Holding his headquarters in Gotham and spreading to New York, San Francisco and Metropolis, starting up a specialized 'search and seizure' business of seizing valuable goods, individuals, or creatures for clients. And using the funds to slowly by large volumes of land in Europe, Russia and Asia. And slowly building on these lands various facilities armed with mercenaries and stolen technology. His objective was simple, he'd dominate the region and use it as a foothold to expand upon and create a specialized force of individuals to control everything: The Secret Society of Supervillains.
Characteristics
Height: 6'8"
Weight: 350lbs
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Brown
Unusual Features: Bane has four circular scars on the back of his neck from the Venom tubes that feed chemicals directly into his brain.
Personality: Bane used to be obsessed by proving himself Batman's superior - which would make him, in his value system, the strongest and greatest man in the world, as the Batman is the pinnacle of human perfection.
While under the influence of Venom, Bane was a brutal, cunning warrior and master strategist; now he's smoother and more in control. He's very calm, with nerves of steel and a complete control of pretty much any situation. It is always obvious that Bane is very, very dangerous and quite ruthless. Bane switch between a monster and master criminal by varying his dosage of Venom from barely existent to nearly 4 Liters an hour and go from being uncontrollable to being in perfect control.
Like many cinematic villains, Bane has a sense of honor of his own. It was also quite important for him to find out who his father was
One of the themes of Bane is that he's mostly a product of an inhuman environment that made him extremely bad, but it's not obvious if he's really evil to the core - as explained above he has some positive elements explaining his drive. To most opponents, however, he will feels like Darth Vader in spandex and they're not likely to plumb his motivations very deeply while Intimidated. Even Nightwing is somewhat afraid of him.
Powers
Known Powers: None
Known Abilities: Bane is monstrously strong and about as tough as you can be for a human. His physical might and prowess are almost unbelievable, his mind is strong, his intelligence remarkable and he has a will of steel.
Bane possesses near-superhuman strength. In the past he has enhanced it by the use of the drug "Venom". Even without the Venom his physiology appears superior to other normal human characters with Olympic level strength such as Batman.
Bane also has near peak-human reflexes and agility. He is a skilled acrobat, excels at stealth, and can intimidate almost anyone. Furthermore, his detective skills are almost par with Batman, but he does not possess the resources of the Dark Knight.
Bane is one of the world's top fighters, knowing several martial arts styles, but having developed his own unique way of fighting. Bane knows how to use most weapons, but rarely does.
Bane also possesses a genius level intellect. In prison he taught himself various scientific disciplines equal to the level of understanding of leading experts in those fields. He taught himself over six languages and at least two additional arcane and dead languages. Bane also has a photographic (eidetic) memory (Revealed in the "Bane of the Demon" storyline). Within one year he was able to deduce Batman's secret identity. He is also highly devious (he crafted the escape from Arkham Asylum of all of Batman's enemies), and a superb strategist and tactician.
Strength Level: Bane has peak-human strength to slightly superhuman strength pending on Venom Levels.
1%: Bane keeps himself at a constant 1% Venom in order to mentally function without having withdrawals. If cut off, he begins suffering withdrawal after 5mins.
25%: When Bane puts his dosage to 25% of it's maximum dosage, Bane undergoes physical increases in his strength and reflexes.
100%: At 100% dosage, his strength increases severely along with other physical abilities however, his ability to think clearly becomes lost and he turns into a vicious killer seeking only destruction.
Weaknesses:
Mortality:Despite his overwhelming bulk and strength, bane is still only human and as such, is capable of lethal harm from attacks and weaponry that damage humans.
Addiction:Despite how long Bane has been of Venom, it is still an insanely addicting drug and there have been moments of Relapse, though trough his will, he has usually then gotten off it afterwards.
Fatherly Love, I Think Not:After Bane killed King Snake, his father, Bane's thoughts of what to do next became skewed. In addition, Bane has a heavy dislike to any man that leaves the child and woman abandoned and will take it upon himself to kill such that man.
Rivalry with the Dark Knight:Despite how much Bane hates Batman, he still has respect for the man that he considers his current equal amongst men. However, Bane continuously has that drive deep inside him at times to still prove that one day, he's the strongest man in the world.
Withdrawal: If Bane is ever severed from his Consistent dosage of Venom, the result is highly damaging. Without the Venom giving his muscles the recuperative abilities needed to constantly repair torn muscles of that size. The result of the withdrawals causes him to undergo severe pain and muscle fatigue, leaving him physically unable to move due to his body's inability to sustain such muscle mass on it's own.

Bane chuckled with a fake clap as Bane was noted of Dick's disapproval of the security. "Emotions......" Bane said solemnly with a smirk as he pressed a button on the console. Thank you for your patience Richard. Oh wait, you don't have any. The machine said as Bane chuckled. "It has a point....." Bane said with a more distinct tone as he stood up. "This console here is a very interesting one.....it reads and transmits any radio signals that go to, from and by it." Bane said as shortly after, he pressed a series of keys. “Bruce, this is Dick. Bane’s in my apartment and the odds are not in my favor. I’m going in anyway.” Bane smirked as it then faded away. "Poor little birdy, always depending on the Bat. It's no wonder he scrapped you for Timmy, your too clingy."
Bane said with a low laugh. "It's not rare to notice though. You have an attachment disorder. Watching your parents do a brilliant dive into fame and death. Did you know that.....that particular show made more profits for that circus than any act in their history? Goes to show you that death is big money hehe. In that case, your family was worth a total of fourteen million dollars. It's a pity that they were even worth that much." Bane said callously as he flipped a switch, turning all the lights on in the room fully. "For what I want, it's simple: You. For you are coming with me, whether you like it or not. I've become quite the collector you see. Good ole Jim, Jason and now, you. Of course, I collect in order. Starting from the bottom and working my way up, saving the best for last. Unfortunately for you, your far from the last. To be more accurate, the other birdy is....." Bane said with a smug look on his face.
"But, since you already called in the Bat, I already know you don't plan on fighting me. Pity, I thought you were suppose to grow out of Bruce's shadow, not cower in it hahaha. No matter, I can already guess your objective is to play cat and mouse until the big bad doggie.....or rather....bat, gets here." Bane said as he held up the monitor and flipped a switch. Soon enough, a black-haired woman stood in it's screen laughing. "Greetings, Dick Darling." She said as she confirmed herself to be Komand'r. A.K.A. Blackfire. Bane chuckled towards Dick. "Fine by me. The more you run, the more fun Komand'r gets to have with a friend of yours....." Bane said as Blackfire laughed outloud. "And a sibling of mine. Isn't that right, sister dear?" Blackfire said as she moved slightly out of the way to reveal a group of men holding up powerful shock prods specifically designed for the prisoner. Soon enough, a fiery haired woman screamed out in pain as the shock prods stabbed her in the chest. It was evident, Starfire was being tortured right then and there. "So, still feel like playing cat and mouse? The more you play, the more Blackfire plays. And you know cats love to play with there food before killing it." Bane said coldly as he stared Dick down with a venomous look in his eyes.
