Character Profile
“Hate is the perennial motivator.” – Bane
Real Name: Dorrance
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Debut: Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1
Voice: Fred Tatasciore
Growing up in Santa Prisca Peña Duro prison, he is an intellectually gifted person and was educated in the ways of crime. He was subjected to experiments with the drug Venom, which gave him super strength.
He possesses a keen intellect and a body trained to physical perfection in the harsh environment of the Peña Duro prison. After being exposed to the experimental drug Venom, Bane’s physical strength was increased to superhuman levels, fluctuating depending on how much has pumped into his system.

| Notes | Move affected by ABILITY stat |
Bane can dose himself with one, two, or three levels of Venom (even while attacking), increasing his overall damage per dose and adding armor to his specials. When the buff wears off, Bane will become weakened. While weakened, Bane will inflict less damage, take more damage, and will move at a slower speed. This weakness is intensified based on the amount of Venom used.
