The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

In Bane's memory, he was annoyed that he kept losing to Batman recently. As he stewed in anger, a flash of inspiration struck him.

Bane felt that he didn't need to fight Batman to the death in Gotham. So, he left Gotham with all his resources, deciding to choose a new place as his base.

He definitely couldn't choose those well-known big cities. After all, almost every country and city he could name was guarded by Justice League superheroes.

Moreover, these big cities also had their own local snakes. If Bane went there, he would have to deal with the superheroes on the surface and also beware of those despicable local gangs stabbing him in the back.

Even Bane didn't want to experience this kind of situation where he was attacked from both sides. So, after thinking it over, he changed his target to those small island nations that were not well-known internationally.

These island nations didn't receive much attention internationally, and they didn't communicate much with the outside world. Even if the Justice League wanted to discover his mischief, it would take some time.

Finally, Bane set his sights on Santa Prisca Island. As it turned out, everything went as he had initially thought.

Initially, Bane relied on his intelligence and strength to lead his gang to conquer this small island nation in just three days. After obtaining absolute power, Bane controlled Santa Prisca Island.

Of course, he wasn't interested in the island's regime. Bane's plan was just to find a place to build his Venom factory.

Bane set up a secret shipping route to secretly transport resources to Santa Prisca Island. He spent three months building the factory, and in the following year, he continuously produced Venom serum.

Of course, Bane didn't produce the version for his own use. That stuff was too strong, and ordinary people couldn't handle it. He didn't want to kill all his buyers, so the factory mainly produced a degraded version.

Sure enough, although the effect of the degraded version was weakened, it was also more acceptable to the general public. This new type of steroid was widely praised in the underground world as soon as it was launched.

Even many ordinary people found channels to buy it. Many of these people were gym-goers who made a living with their strong muscles. Venom serum was simply a miracle drug for them.

However, although the Venom serum had been degraded, it was still dangerous, so various side effects also bloomed after injection.

For example, decreased IQ, pointed heads, and even direct death.

Of course, as a supervillain, Bane couldn't be responsible for the personal safety of his customers or the quality of his products. He only needed to ensure one thing: that most people wouldn't die from injecting the serum.

After all, if most people died as soon as they touched it, no one would buy his medicine, and he wouldn't be able to make money. As for the minority, he didn't care.

And those customers who bought the serum wouldn't care about this small probability of side effects. There's a probability of a plane crash when taking a plane, but there are still a lot of people who take it.

As for the Justice League, those nosy guys, Bane actually had a way to deal with them. Although his serum business was conducted secretly underground, his buyers were mixed bags of all kinds.

Many of these were also criminals. After injecting the serum, they obviously couldn't do legitimate business. Superhuman crime would obviously attract the attention of the Justice League.

But Bane wasn't afraid because he had the official endorsement of Santa Prisca.

Santa Prisca was a small island nation with scarce resources. The people here had not had a good life before. Bane's factory not only employed locals, but also distributed some of the funds earned from selling the serum to Santa Prisca.

After this operation, the serum factory became the main source of income for Santa Prisca, giving this country, which could only make money from tourism, a better and faster way out.

The people of Santa Prisca, who had tasted the sweetness, naturally didn't want to go back to the hard life they had before. So, it could be said that the whole country was of one mind, collectively endorsing Bane.

And the Justice League didn't have the right to interfere in other countries' politics. In this way, they really couldn't openly investigate Bane. This is why Batman has only been following up on the investigation, but has never really taken action.

In this way, Bane's serum business was booming in the past year or so. Of course, his purpose was not just to make money. Everything he is doing now is preparing for the future.

As a supervillain with aspirations, a man who once unified Gotham, Bane certainly has higher preparations. When his funds are raised to a certain level, he will make a big splash.

But unfortunately, before Bane had time to make a big splash, the people of the Kobra Cult came to kill him.

Unlike the law-abiding Justice League, the Kobra Cult doesn't care about international disputes. They secretly infiltrated Santa Prisca and launched a blitzkrieg when Bane was lax.

It can only be said that the world is a huge boomerang. The tactics that Bane used on Santa Prisca Island before are now being used on him in their original form.

Under the siege of the enemy, even Bane, who was as strong as he was, was taken down after persisting for a few days. After being imprisoned for a month, Bane, who had been trying to escape, was suddenly taken out of the prison by the Kobra Cult.

King Cobra, the leader of the Kobra Cult, offered him a condition: as long as Bane could win a battle, he would release Bane, return the factory to Bane, and the Kobra Cult would withdraw from Santa Prisca Island.

Bane was strange as to why the other party would make such a request. He instinctively realized that this was a trap, but he had no choice but to agree to this battle.

Of course, Bane also had requirements. He demanded that the Kobra Cult return his injection equipment to him. The other party readily agreed and gave him a sufficient dose of perfect Venom serum.

This deepened Bane's suspicion even more. He was almost certain that this was a trap, but he had no choice but to step into it resolutely, otherwise he wouldn't even have a chance to make a comeback.

After he stepped into the arena, the other party only sent a skinny little kid. Of course, Bane was not careless. After all, there were countless outrageous metahumans in this world. Maybe the other party had some outrageous ability?

Then he saw the other party inject a tube of purple potion in front of him. Then the skinny little kid turned into a muscular monster with a height of three meters.

You can guess the next plot. In short, it is.

Bane encounters a muscle monster in the factory and cannot defeat it despite his best efforts.
