Bane is a supervillian from the DC Comics universe. His first appearance was in the Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1, which came out in January 1993. Born in the Caribbean Republic of Santa Prisca, in a prison called Peña Dura. His father, Edmund Dorrance, was a revolutionary who had escaped Santa Prisca's court system and Bane was forced to serve out the man's life sentence. It was in the prison that he learned how to fight, as well as used as a test subject for a drug called Venom. The drug almost killed him, but he survived and uses it to enhance his physical strength, although he needs a dose of it every 12 hours.
Bane has appeared in almost every form of media, as well as many video games based on the DC Universe. These include the Batman: Arkham series, LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Young Justice: Legacy, DC Universe Online and Injustice: Gods Among Us., and numerous other titles.
