His first murder was at the age of 8 after which there was no looking back, this is how he worked his way up in prison.
The Mystery of the Mask
In the prison, a drug is tested on him, called Venom. The drug nearly kills him but then makes him inhumanly strong. It comes with its toll too, The venom needs to be pumped into his brain every 12 hours. It’s not that without the mask Bane is powerless, but with it, he just is physically unbeatable.
Bane has Brains

Incredible Strength
Bane is 6’2” tall and weighs about 220 pounds. To give some context he just had to use 9 pounds of his strength to break Batman’s back.
