#2 Bane (The Dark Night Rises)

Bane has strength and intelligence to his advantage.

Firstly, as there are multiple portrayals of the villain, we better clarify which Bane. So, let’s exclude the green muscle-bulging beast with a Lucha mask that graced the screen in Batman & Robin, and talk about the superb visualisation of the iconic villain portrayed by Tom Hardy in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Night Rises.

Bane has often been misrepresented as a thuggish muscle-flexing brute. Yet his backstory is one of oppression. Spending most of his youth in prison, Bane trained physically and mentally to be superior in every way, so that when he escaped, he could stake his claim on anything he wanted.

If you found him in the WWE, he could easily be introduced as the leader of a new faction, probably including some of his escaped prison inmates. A new reign of terror could be brought down on the WWE, as Bane tries to subdue the authority. Equally, he would make a terrific anti-hero as a ‘lone wolf’ within the roster.
