==Summary==
The man that would later be known as Bane was an inmate of Pena Duro, a Cuban prison meant to contain the hardest, most dangerous convicts. He was chosen as a test subject for "Project Gilgamesh", a government project to create super-soldiers with the new "super-steroid", Venom. The experiment was too successful — Bane escaped Cuba, stole the formula for Venom with him, and presumably killed everyone related to the project, as Batman stated that Bane was the only one who knew how to manufacture Venom. He then hired out his services as a freelance assassin, and eventually built his reputation to the point where he could demand five million dollars per job.
He was hired by Rupert Thorne to deal with Batman but failed, and from that point forward, Bane has returned on occasion to take his revenge on the Dark Knight for defeating him.
