Is this pre-52 Bane?

I was on Hero chat and came across a battle, where this user provided plenty of Bane feats. He also said that all of them were pre-52 Bane without Venom. I find that hard to swallow. Is it? The posts are given below


Like ****ing up a guy in a powered armor called the exosuit, and promptly ripping his arms off while with the armor and beating him down with it

One-hit-KOs a disguised Batman:

Casually stops a swinging wooden bat, neck lifts the guy, and throws him hard enough to bend a metal fence:

And continues on to beat up thugs on Venom along with Batman:

Rips off a metal collar from his neck, which was designed to shock him to death when he resists:

All this without Venom
As I told you Gambit not being able to take down Bane is not bad for Gambit, because Bane is just that ridiculously strong. Batman does all those superhuman feats while retaining the peak human label, and Bane is portrayed as even stronger. Bane's like the Kingpin of DC. Many fans see and caricature Bane just as some thug -an attitude which is just frankly retarded. Even the New-52 Bane who is nothing on the old one in smarts is no ordinary thug. He's pretty smart. Gambit, just isn't enough do anything significant to someone like that with blunt weapons. A version of Bane he has a chance with is:

And if you need any more convincing, he's no slow thug. He's pretty nimble. Here are separate instances of him dodging bullets, batarangs from Batman and Azrael, etc.:

His pain tolerance is ****ing ridiculous. Here he is shot twice in the back and doesn't register it:

Bane without Venom is still hefting people overhead and taking bullets like a boss:

He is neck lifting this guy, and the guy stabs Bane's shoulder through Vandal Savage's hand. Bane gives no ****s:

Armed with just a battleaxe Bane tears apart some tribal warriors, even blocking arrows with the axe:

Bane is smacked by over 500 bricks one after the other by a metahuman and Bane still doesn't flinch:

This Giant woman ripoff tossed bane several miles but he was still up and kicking:

Here he does the street-leveler standard trick of blitzing gunmen before they can shoot:

Bane is quite skilled, pretty fast, and coupled with his monstrous strength he has dominated Nightwing in their fights:

Gambit is not gonna stop him with blunt force without his powers

Bane can be pretty agile on the rooftops:

Bane without venom is more than strong enough to rip up a metal gate:

Here is the full fight between Bane and the guy in the exosuit. Bane plays possum to get him close before ripping his arms off:

And here a guy tries to stab a girl who was with Bane. Bane stops it with his palm and stabs the guy with the knife still impaled into his hand. Hardcore:

Bane shows his reflexes and pain tolerance by blocking several Batarangs from Azrael with his forearm:

His pain tolerance is high enough that he can let Catman get several free shots before swiftly ending the fight:

Giving him weapons means a swifter end even if you have the same weapons. For example:
Here Bane fights and kills and entire group of warriors from Skartaris, the savage land where beings fight for survival on a daily basis

Or when he took out these Cobra agents. A nice display of reflexes and combat skills:

Remember the 500+ bricks thrown on the head? This is the full encounter,which also shows Bane can fight dirty if needed - here he escapes and bites a guy to death, Dracula style:

Admit it, you knew next to nothing about Bane when you made this battle

Yeah they are pre w/o Venom.

Most of those are from Secret Six in which Bane was clean from Venom for the vast majority of the run.

Yes. He was uber without Venom.

In that Man Bat scan I can see the tubes in the back of his head and same with the disguised Batman scan. I only recall one story where he had the tubes and delivery system attached, but was feigning use of Venom. I don't think either of those scans are it. Does anyone know what issue the Man Bat one is from?

The other posters are correct, most of the scans seem to be from Secret Six. I recall once when he took a pill with the drug in it. It was obvious when it happened. The instance when he was faking being addicted to Venom, Hourman thought the drug made him very strong, but in reality it was just his normal strength level.

Edit: Looking at more of the scans, some of them are following the Knightfall storyline after he purged his system of the drug.

He wore the equip only because of the old habit. As explained in Secret 6.

Pre-nu Bane, venom'd up or not, was always an a-list Bats villain and had crazy feats. We have respect threads here on kmc about him. By supermutant. One with broken links, the other revamped, but not finished.

Visit them anyway, they have detailed descriptions and issue numbers.

Hot damn

Who posted these? It would had save me some trouble getting missing scans. lol
I see a couple of feats that I had forgotten about or didn't have. Good find.
