Bane (Eduardo Dorrance) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Chuck Dixon, Doug Moench, and Graham Nolan, the character first appeared in Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1 (January 1993).
Bane is an escaped convict from an island prison in South America and a super-villain/assassin. Bane has abnormal physical strength as a result of having undergone experiments involving a derivative of the drug Venom. He became known as "The Man Who Broke the Bat" when he broke Batman's back...
Born in a prison on a remote Caribbean island, Bane was raised without pity or compassion. As an adult, he served as a test subject for the super-steroid called Venom. Superhumanly strong, Bane escaped his hell and headed to Gotham City—where he chose to make his mark by defeating the Batman.
Created by Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan to challenge the strength and intellect of Batman, Bane has served as one of Gotham's most formidable villains since the early 1990s. Since then, the villain has been responsible for some of Bruce Wayne's most devastating defeats.
Bane is a brilliant world-class fighter and tactical genius who augments his great physical strength with a steroid called Venom. Raised from childhood in the Peña Duro prison on Santa Prisca, he was determined that he would destroy Batman to prove himself, and succeeded by breaking the hero's back during Knightfall.
