Bane
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/59/Bane4s.png
Bane possesses Olympic-level strength that appears to be greater than Batman's. During the Knightfall storyline, when he uses the "Venom" drug, his strength level is artificially increased to superhuman levels. Even without Venom, his physiology appears superior to other normal human characters with strength such as Batman.
Bane is also highly intelligent; in "Bane of the Demon", Ra's al Ghul says that Bane "has a mind equal to the greatest he has known". In prison he teaches himself various scientific disciplines equal to the level of understanding of leading experts in those fields. He teaches himself six active languages and at least two additional arcane and dead ones,those mentioned are Spanish,English,Urdu,Farsi and Latin. The "Bane of the Demon" storyline reveals that he has a photographic memory. Within one year he is able to deduce Batman's secret identity. He is also highly devious (he crafts the escape from Arkham Asylum of all of Batman's enemies), and a superb strategist and tactician. In prison, Bane also invents his own form of calisthenics, meditation, and a unique fighting style.

Due to supernatural enchantment, the Man Ape gained mystical powers by consuming the flesh of a sacred white gorilla. M'Baku's mystically augmented powers include superhuman strength enabling him to lift 7 tons, and the enhanced agility, stamina, and durability of the mystical Wakandan white gorilla. He has extensive formal military training in hand to hand combat.
