Once a prisoner, Bane was molded into a villain because of the harsh atmosphere of his island prison, Pena Duro. In darkness from birth, he was obliged to fend for himself in a ruthless environment where he was tortured and experimented upon. His physical pain became an emotional bruise which obliterated into revenge against the society that had wronged him. More specifically, he'd wreak havoc and destruction deep within the city of Gotham.
