Bane (Earth-1352)

"You will know my name one day. And on that day you will beg for mercy. You will scream my name! SCREAM IT!"

- - Bane to Batman

Early Life
The man who would become known as Bane was born and raised within the walls of the Santa Priscan prison of Peña Duro to serve a life sentence in the place of his deceased father, a former cartel owner. Growing alone, Bane had to learn how to survive by himself, perfecting the use of his mind, as well as physically bettering his body.

He eventually rose to become a "celebrity" in the prison, and eventually started a coup. After killing all of the prison's guards, Bane became the new ruler of the penitentiary, and eventually the unquestionable dictator of the country. The people of Santa Prisca, however, loved Bane, for he was able to destroy the decades long corruption and organized crime that plagued the country.

Bane and his loyalists developed their own drug, Venom, to enhance their own in their fight against crime across the country. Bane took to himself the most powerful formula, and became an even more formidable warrior.

The Pact
Some years after his coup, Bane joined the Pact, a team of Metahuman and costumed criminals which consisted of Riddler and Mister Freeze. The group plotted an attack, but each one of them would need to contribute in some capacity. Bane and his own militia planned to attack a S.H.I.E.L.D. arsenal that channeled the energy of the Tesseract.

S.H.I.E.L.D. and Batman
He and Riddler both went together, but they were confronted by the Batman, who was following Riddler's trail dropped by his former subordinate Eli Knable. Bane almost succeeded in killing Batman, but chose that taking the weapons was more important despite Riddler insisting to kill the vigilante.
