10 Characters Who Have Defeated Bane

4. Alfred Pennyworth

Batman Bane Rebirth
DC Comics

During the events of the Batman: Eternal series of comics, Bruce Wayne's long-suffering butler, Alfred Pennyworth, is attacked by the villain Hush and injected with Scarecrow's fear toxin. As a result he is taken to Arkham Asylum shortly before the facility is attacked.

Alfred survives the attack and teams up with Bane in order to escape the ruins and find other escaped inmates. Working together, Alfred and Bane head to a satellite Batcave near Arkham that Bruce Wayne had built to monitor the facility and support him in operations nearby.

Alfred tricks Bane into lowering his guard, however, when they enter the Batcave where the cave's defense system activates and attacks Bane - knocking him unconscious. To be fair to Bane, he probably got off easy - we are talking about the same guy who blew Joker's head off with a shotgun and beat Superman almost to death in different story lines.
