10 Worst Things Bane Has Ever Done

3. Killing Judomaster

In a total blink-and-you-miss-it panel, Infinite Crisis #7 features a moment where Bane snaps the relatively obscure Judomaster's back, killing him in one blow.

While this initially seems like a total throwaway moment, the superhero's child - Thomas Jagger - goes on to meet and fight Bane in the Checkpoint series, wherein the villain mocks his opponent for... having a dad who he killed, basically?

It's not an entirely sensible diss, but it is an entirely cruel one, as Bane not only killed a man, but made fun of his son for being sad his dad was dead.

Within the Secret Six and even Batman series, Bane has had his fair share of caring and empathetic moments. These are almost totally undermined, however, by the fact he once looked someone in the eyes and pretty much said 'it's funny you feel grief for a loved one' like it was the universe's most hilarious punchline.
