What Happened To Everyone Who Used A Lazarus Pit?
7. King Snake
While some people have used the Lazarus Pit to literally be brought back from the dead, and others have used it to heal wounds and illnesses, King Snake’s time in the Pit saw the villain regain his sight.
As his origins go, this master martial artist was blinded by gunfire when working as a mercenary for hire. That didn’t stop him from living a life of crime, however, and King Snake would also go on to father a son who you’ll know better as Bane.
On a quest to become the new Naja-Naja – the master of Kobra – King Snake would happen upon a Lazarus Pit. This was no accident, of course, and the rogue had manipulated Daniel Temple into gaining him access to the soothing waters of resurrection.
It was after this Lazarus Pit dip that Edmund Dorrance revealed that he, King Snake, was Bane’s father after the hulking luchador had entered into this particular story arc. There would be no renditions of Cat Stevens’ famed Father and Son for this pair, though, as Dorrance would have Bane gunned down after the venom-fused behemoth decided that his dad was straight-up nuts.
King Snake would live to fight another day after his Lazarus Pit experience, and the conclusion to this tale also saw Bane himself take a dip in the Pit after the wounds inflicted on him by his father’s men.
