Therefore, Bane believes fate placed Batman on a collision course with him. Bane is convinced that Batman is a personification of the demonic bat which had haunted his dreams since childhood. Gotham City fascinates Bane because, like Peña Duro, fear rules Gotham-but it is the fear of Batman. His ambition turns to destroying Batman, about whom he had heard stories from Bird. Bane escapes Peña Duro, along with several accomplices based on the Fabulous Five (his minions Trogg, Zombie and Bird, all of whom are named after 1960s rock bands- The Troggs, The Zombies, and The Byrds-and are designed to mimic three of Doc Savage's assistants Monk, Ham, and Renny). The Peña Duro prison Venom experiment nearly killed Bane at first, but he survived and found that the drug vastly increases his physical strength, although he needs to take it every 12 hours (via a system of tubes pumped directly into his brain) or he will suffer debilitating side-effects. The prison's controllers took note and eventually forced him to become a test subject for a mysterious drug known as Venom, which had killed all other subjects. He ultimately established himself as the "king" of Peña Duro prison and became known as Bane. īane is tortured by a monstrous, terrifying bat creature that appears in his dreams, thus giving him an intense fear of bats.
It is revealed that Osito has a hole in his back to hold a knife that Bane used to defend himself. During his years in prison, Bane carried a teddy bear he called Osito ("little bear" in Spanish), whom he considered his only friend.

Bane murdered this priest upon his return to Santa Prisca years later. Despite his circumstances, he found teachers of various sorts during his incarceration, ranging from hardened convicts to an elderly Jesuit priest, under whose tutelage he apparently received a classical education.

Because of the cultural and supposed geographical location of Santa Prisca, Bane knew how to speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, Persian, Urdu and Latin. He read as many books as he could get his hands on, spent most of his spare time body building in the prison's gym, developed his own form of meditation, and learned to fight in the merciless school of prison life. Although he was imprisoned, his natural abilities allowed him to develop extraordinary skills within the prison's walls. The corrupt government decreed that his young son would serve out the man's life sentence, and thus Bane spent his childhood and early adult life in prison. His father, Edmund Dorrance (better known as King Snake), had been a revolutionary who had escaped Santa Prisca's court system.
