Bane (DC Universe Classics Wave 16)

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 determined that he would destroy Batman to prove himself, and succeeded by breaking the hero's back during Knightfall. Since then he has been an international crimelord, an anti-hero, a mercenary, a government agent and even a dictator.

First Appearance: Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1 (January, 1993)
Real Name: Unknown
Occupation: Criminal
Base of Operations: Gotham City
Special Abilities: Bane's use of the Supersteroid Venom allowed him to temporarily enhance his physical functions to superhuman levels, particularly his strength, endurance, and speed.
