Supervillain Origins: Bane

An excellent compilation of origins and clips from different media.

Bane was born in the fictional Caribbean Republic of Santa Priscia. There, his father had once been a revolutionary. Having fled at the time of Bane’s birth, the corrupt government made the newborn child carry out his father’s sentence in the hellish Prison of Pena Dura. Eventually establishing himself as the self-proclaimed king of the prison complex, he was forced to become a test subject for an experimental steroid called Venom. Altered by the drug, he escaped, only to hear tales of the dark knight. Convinced that Batman was the demonic bat that had haunted his dreams since childhood, he made his way to Gotham City to kill the caped crusader.

With Batman’s arrival in Gotham, she quickly found herself smitten with the caped crusader and took on a costumed persona of her own.
