Bane is a blend of brute strength, tactical brilliance, and ruthless ambition. He is a strategic mastermind, a physically imposing figure, and a man driven by a desire for control and domination. He also possesses a complex, even philosophical, understanding of power and its consequences. Bane is also highly charismatic, a master of self-discipline, and is generally cool, calm and collected. When he uses Venom however, he loses a lot of his reasoning skills in favour of pure brute force.
