Bane, a formidable adversary of Batman in the DC Comics universe, was born in the Peña Duro prison on Santa Prisca, where he served his father's life sentence.

Subjected to brutal conditions and experiments from childhood, Bane developed extraordinary strength and intelligence. He became the prison's dominant figure, learning various fighting styles and strategic thinking.

His life changed when he was chosen as a test subject for the super-steroid Venom. While Venom amplified his physical prowess, it also rendered him dependent on it to maintain his strength. This dependence became a constant vulnerability.

Bane escaped Peña Duro, driven by the goal to prove himself. Hearing tales of Gotham's Dark Knight, Bane saw Batman as his ultimate opponent. He strategically dismantled Batman's physical and psychological resources before confronting him in a direct battle. In their first confrontation, Bane famously broke Batman's back, crippling him and briefly taking control of Gotham City.

After Batman's recovery, their rivalry continued, marked by a complex blend of respect and animosity. Bane's strength, intellect, and strategic mind make him one of Batman's most dangerous and enduring foes.
