base Bane upgrade

[Zamasu_Chan]

Base bane should be 8-C because he has pretty impressive feats without Venom.

Here Bane was able to break more of Azrael’s ribs with a single punch.
Here he was able to easily catch a punch and kick from Nightwing, then proceeds to one shot Nightwing by slamming him into a wall.
Lastly, here Bane broke Killer Croc’s arm without the use of Venom.

This is good for 8-C right?

 

[Super_Saiyan_God_Julian]

Seeing as Bane is clearly shown as superior to 9-A+ characters in these scans, not to mention matching a 8-C character, I think this is enough to support an 8-C upgrade to Base Bane.

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

Not to mention 9-A+ Batman is literally on the Cusp of 8-C anyways. Seriously .24 Tons if I recall correctly.

 

[Zamasu_Chan]

Yeah Batman is a very strong 9-A.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I suppose this is fine.

 

[Zamasu_Chan]

Bump.

 

[ElixirBlue]

What more needs to be done?

 

[Ican'tthinkof1goodname]

Bane seems 8-C

 

[Zamasu_Chan]

If DDM and Julian agree, can't one of them just edit the profile?

 

[LordGriffin1000]

I agree with the upgrade.

 

[Tllmbrg]

Upgrade seems fine

 

[Thelastmlg]

IIRC being superior, one shooting or stomping others lets you uump tiers if the gap is of like 15%.

Batman is 0.024 tons as said before, that's likr, 5% away from 8-C

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I'd still like just a little bit more input from DC staff. @Matthew_Schroeder @The_Impress @Firestorm808

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

Being stronger than 9-A doesn't make one 8-C.

 

[LordTracer]

When it’s a 9-A+ that’s 1.5x (or less) away from 8-C, then it does.

 

[00potato]

Yes it does in certain cases.
Bat is so close to 8-C that anyone notably stronger then him would logically be 8-C.

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

Batman is literally like 95% of 8-C. That's how damn close the difference is.

 

[Zamasu_Chan]

Being stronger than 9-A doesn't make one 8-C.

He broke Killer Croc’s arm...

 

[Super_Saiyan_God_Julian]

He explicitly harmed Killer Croc, who is 8-C, and is shown as superior to the other 9-A characters. I don't really see the problem here.

 

[Zamasu_Chan]

Btw Croc broke Bane’s venom pump before Bane broke his arm. So before anyone claims Bane was boasting, just know that you’re wrong.

 

[Firestorm808]

I'll look into this when I can.

 

[Thelastmlg]

Does bane need to constantly get venom to be on his boosted state or does it wear off after a while? Like, does he injects venom, then stops and stays boosted for like 10 seconds before going back to normal or does he go back to base the instant he stops injecting it?

 

[Zamasu_Chan]

As long as it's active it should boost his strength. As soon as it's cut off, it's completely useless.

 

[Thelastmlg]

I'm asking that because, if bane was injecting himself with venom before croc broke it, and assuming the next scene took place in seconds, couldn't bane still be between his base and boosted state when he broke his arm?

 

[Zamasu_Chan]

I'm asking that because, if bane was injecting himself with venom before croc broke it, and assuming the next scene took place in seconds, couldn't bane still be between his base and boosted state when he broke his arm?

He didn’t have it activated beforehand because he was fighting Robin.

 

[Thelastmlg]

Yeah i suspected that, he didn't seem buffed but i thought it was weird gor him to not use it against croc or croc attacking it like bane was using it.

In that case, this is fine.

 

[Da_Lunge_Fish]

Yeah, even Batman himself could possibly be 8-C, considering he was unharmed by the 0.21 explosion. Not saying he should be, but Bane certainly should.

 

[ItalianGuy1234]

Bane is generally shown to be physically stronger than Batman, although not by much.

 

[Hellbeast]

Yeah Bane definitely upscales here

 

[Zamasu_Chan]

Bump.

 

[ElixirBlue]

I agree with the upgrade

 

[DeathstroketheHedgehog]

This is the same reason Deathstroke got upgraded forever ago, and the votes seem unanimous here.

The only contesting comment wasn't even a direct counter, it was just Matthew unaware that DC's 9-As were already borderline 8-C.

 

[Antvasima]

This seems fine to apply to me.

What is his drug-enhanced self currently rated as in terms of statistics?

 

[DeathstroketheHedgehog]

Currently rated as High 8-C for being ten times stronger.

The base upgrade wouldn't affect the tier.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. That seems fine then.

 

[Zamasu_Chan]

Bump.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, this seems to have been accepted. It just needs to be applied.

 

[Zamasu_Chan]

Bump. It hasn't been applied yet.

 

[00potato]

Ok, unless the profile is locked you can just apply now.

 

[Zamasu_Chan]

I made the changes.
