Bane

## How Bane joined the Tourney

Imprisoned from birth to serve his dead father's sentence, Bane was raised inside the horrific enviroments of a Santa Prisca prison. Finding solace in smuggled books and meditation, he developed incredible powers of concentration. When he was subjected to military experiments with the experimental steroid Venom, his iron-forged will helped him survive where other test subjects had died, and he managed to escape. Determined to prove his worth, he sought out Korra and broke the airbender's spine after causing a breakout of which Korra took weeks to round up the escaped villains. But Korra recovered and managed to beat Bane, cutting off the precious Venom supply that transforms Bane into a superhuman.

## Classic Mode Ending Movie

Bane stood over Korra's broken body. He stomped on the dead Korra and yelled "Today, the end of magic monsters is here!" Hours later, Bane formed a group of tough guys called the "Bane of America" and issued, "My fellow men, we will build a new order! Gotham, Metropolis, and all of America will be ours to control! No one will oppose us again!" The henchmen cheered and soon, it would not be long until all of America belonged to Bane.
