The origin of Super Villains: Bane
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bane_(DC_Comics)Bane is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Dennis O'Neil, Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan, he first appeared in Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1 (January 1993). The character is an adversary of the superhero Batman and belongs to the collective of enemies that make up his rogues gallery. With a mix of brute strength and exceptional intelligence, Bane is often credited as being the only villain to have "broken the bat".
IGN's list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time ranked Bane as #34.[1] The character has been substantially adapted from the comics into multiple forms of media, portrayed by Robert Swenson in Batman & Robin and Tom Hardy in The Dark Knight Rises. Bane will appear in the final season of Gotham played by Shane West.
Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan created the character for the Knightfall storyline. Dixon wrote the character's first appearance in Vengeance of Bane,[2] with art by Graham Nolan. They developed the concept of Bane after an initial idea by Batman editor Dennis O'Neil.[3]
O'Neil had previously created Bane's birthplace of Santa Prisca in The Question and the drug Venom in the storyline of the same name (published in the pages of Legends of the Dark Knight #16-20, and later reprinted as a trade paperback).[2][4] In the pages of Azrael, O'Neil introduced Bane's perception of Venom as both an addiction and the weakness responsible for his earlier defeats.
