Where is bane from

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 Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight 16—20, and later reprinted as a trade paperback. Bane's origin story is established in the storyline "Guttenberg". He read as many books as he could get his hands on, spent most of his spare time doing bodybuilding training in the prison's gym , developed his own form of meditation, and learned to fight in the merciless school of prison life.

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. Bane murdered this priest upon his return to Santa Prisca years later. He committed his first murder at the age of eight, stabbing a criminal who wanted to use him to gain information about the prison.

Bane is tortured by a monstrous, terrifying bat creature that appears in his dreams, thus giving him an intense fear of bats. The prison's controllers took note and eventually forced him to become a test subject for a mysterious drug known as Venom, [ 7 ] which had killed all other subjects. Bane is convinced that Batman is a personification of the demonic bat which had haunted his dreams since childhood.

Therefore, Bane believes fate placed Batman on a collision course with him. In Joker 8, it is revealed that Bane's daughter Vengeance was created in a lab by scientists.
