Since then he has been an international crimelord, an anti-hero, a mercenary, a government agent and even a dictator. His father is the legendary martial artist King Snake. He has been a member of the Secret Six, the Suicide Squad and the Secret Society of Super-Villains. Bane was created by Dennis O'Neil, Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan, first appearing in Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1. (1993)
