10 Things Everyone Always Gets Wrong About Bane

3. He's Unable To Shake His Addiction

While Bane usage of - and addiction to - the steroid Venom is well documented in comics, what is less documented is that Bane did actually come off of the drug in the Batman Legacy series.

Coming off the drug naturally took some of Bane's massive strength away, but still left the insane power level that Bane can operate at naturally - meaning that we have solid proof that Bane is still a dangerous opponent even without his performance-enhancing friend.

Tragically, there's a pretty good chance that Bane wouldn't have canonically gone back on the drug if it weren't for how integral to Bane's powers - and how much artists seem to like creating cool designs for a Venom-powered Bane - but as it is, most recent comics feature the villain still using the drug.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
