In WWE storylines, Kane was a rapist.

He was revealed to be the father of Lita's unborn baby in 2004. Now, it had clearly been established that Lita was very, very much uninterested in his advances. She was terrified of him. Being a demon heel, he would not take "no" for an answer. So he did various things in an attempt to "seduce" her - like kidnap her backstage - until her pregnancy was disclosed to the world. Matt Hardy thought he was the father. He wasn't. Kane was, despite Lita not being in a consensual sexual relationship with him.

So how did he impregnate her?

It's disgusting even writing the answer down. WWE wrote this, willingly, in a bid to generate interest and an audience, into its script.

Kane defeated Hardy at SummerSlam 2004 and, per the stipulation, "won" Lita. The object was now his official property, which in WWE was a synonym of "wife". Despite being married to Kane, Lita - again, not remotely interested - sabotaged his matches and continued, at every juncture, to express this.

Until she was accidentally made to miscarry by Gene Snitsky, and then it was time to join forces and beat up the real baddie!

Eurgh, look at his teeth! And he's into feet!

Get him!
