Biography
Creating Bane
Dr. Jason Woodrue was a corrupt scientist who once worked for and was funded by Wayne Enterprises. After Wayne Enterprises cut his funding, Woodrue moved to a remote South American lab. He used plant toxins to create Venom, a super-serum that enhanced the proportions of a human subject. His first subject was Antonio Diego, who was turned into Bane. Woodrue planned on selling similar "Super Soldiers" to members of the "Un-United Nations".
Death
Dr. Pamela Isley, who worked for Woodrue, discovered his illegal experiments and Woodrue offered her to join him. But she was appalled by his experiments and threatened to report him: "When I get through, you won't be able to get a job teaching high school chemistry", as well as called him a "psycho".
Kiss of death
Woodrue, who was, in his own words, "not good at rejection", attacked Isley and threw her into a shelf that was full of plant chemicals. He believed her dead, but Isley arose hours later, transformed into Poison Ivy by the chemicals and Venom. Ivy killed Woodrue with a poisonous kiss and burned down his lab.
