Bane vs Conan

Fight is in the steel cage, no weapons for either of them, fight is to the death. 
 
VS 

Conan should win.

Bane is one of my favorite "human but bad-ass" characters, but I don't think even /he/ has the will to win that Conan does.  Though being basically an 'evil doc savage' he probably comes close, and can give him a good fight, still I say Conan takes this.

@scarbearer: I'm a big Conan fan, but isn't Bane supposed to be insanely strong?would you say Conan physically outclasses Bruce Wayne?

Conan for sure.

Conan 

No weapons? Conan's gonna get slaughtered.

maybe Conan vs. Bruce Wayne in unarmed combat would be a better match

bump

In a steel cage Conan is going to be trapped with a bigger and stronger foe.

Without weapons, he is going to have to rely on what is a backup skill to him, unarmed fighting.

Bane should take this.

What is best in life? Having a **** sword!

...what if I have a gun?

Maybe I can help, with concerns of Conan... Conan is a "peak human" all around physically, EXCEPT in strength. He has regular feats that would put him at 2+ ton strength. That is comic CANON and novel CANON. Thank you. ;) That said, Conan has WAY more experience KILLING people than Bane does, even with his bare hands! Conan wins this, 8+/10.

conan should win this.

@jashro44:I'll see if I can get some scans at some point ... out for a bit.

Hey-new guy here, thought I'd weigh in for a minute. I know this post is old, but here it goes...Why is Conan "on the same level" with Batman, Panther, etc? As others have mentioned, he is on the same level for speed, agility, and reflexes, but his strength is comparable to Tarzan's. His durability and endurance are definitely superhuman-he has fought for days on end, and been fine afterwards. REH (Conan's creator) had him performing feats like snapping the neck of a bull when he was but a teenager...14 or so. I doubt Bats or Panther could do the same as adults. He has outfought man-apes, demons, and apes with regularity; his abilities being compared with their own favorably. He can crack the bones of other humans in just his grip with ease, and once punched a man his own size so hard that it sent the man flying and broke his neck.

If Bane has venom......he stomps.....he is also a skilled warrior and could take Conan's sword away.. or knock it out of his hands....Batman would also be able to take Conan...pressure points FTW.....T'challa would stomp Conan

@sandiego008: What feats does Conan have?

Killing very large crocodile by breaking it's back, snaping neck of a bull when he was 14 years old, punching some random pirate who was as big as Conan so hard that the blow shattered pirate's jaw and snapped his neck, moving boulders of rock weighting several tons, overpowering man-ape who was around 1/3 of King Kong's size, killing pack of wolves with bare hands, dodging arrows after he saw their reflection in air. He once took 2 arrows in his chest, then he just put them out and continued to fight like nothing happened. There is many more. Tommorow I will post some scans. He is definitely on level of Bruce and T'Chala physically. Have you read Batman issuee 5 by Scott Snyder? Conan has survived much worse punishment and wasn't in such bad condition after that.

Conan gets his back broken.

Yes, I have

@CitizenBane: Read some Conan some time. He broke a giant griffin's neck thirty years before Bane...and has done the same to other huge animals as well...if Bane has Venom he's stronger, but without it, he isn't beating Conan. Conan is faster, much more agile, and stronger than a base stats Bane. Conan is highly intelligent as well; he would see the Venom tubes and just cut them. Then it's all over for Bane. Bane will not win. For those stating that Batman and Panther have "better" feats than Conan, prove it!

Conan fights chumps like bane before breakfast. Conan easily.

Who has he fought thats like Bane?

@BigCimmerian: Not bad but I'm not so sure if its enough to put him above bane. But when you say moving a boulder weighing several tons how much tons would you say if you had to guess?

I don't know how much, it is only said that it weights several tons and that 10 soldier couldn't move them and men were much stronger in that time than now

Then you would know that Bruce curbstomped Talon after that, and then limped back to the Batcave, where he continued to beat up more Talons even after having barely any time to recover?

I know all of that, but look at what was going on with Conan in the span of 10 days in Conan the Cimmerian 21-25 Dark Horse, Conan and his army of mercenaries were fighting against Shah Amurath and his army. The battle lasted for hours and Conan was the only survivor of his army because his mercenaries were outnumbered 15000 vs 5000. In that battle Conan was shot in the leg with arrow and even took blow to the head with a mace, that blow saved his life because enemies thought that he died, but he was just unconscious. After the battle Conan was hiding in the swamps for over a week avoiding enemies who were searching for survivors.

During that time he couldn't sleep because of the soldiers seaching for him. His food consisted of raw rats he could catch and drinking only rain drops. He gained the fever and even started to hallucinate.

Shah Amurath who was going after some girl accidentally found himself in that swamp along with Conan. In revenge Conan killed Amurath who was said to be the best swordsman of the east.

After he slew him, Conan was rowing all night to get to one island. On that island Conan was attacked by pirates and to survive Conan killed their captain whose size dwarfs Bane.

One of the pirates used sling against Conan and Conan was once again unconscious, barbarian escaped their confinement with the help of the girl he rescued from Shah Amurath, while they were running they were attacked by large ape who is several times bigger than average gorilla, Conan barely managed to kill the monster.

All of this was done in the span of 10 days, with only several hours of sleep, and eating few rats and few rain drops. And Conan during all this was 21 years old. He reached his peak physical state in his late 20's

I never read a Conan Comic, but based on what I've seen in all of his movies, and my knowledge of Bane, I'd say Bane destroys Conan! However I'm not sure what Conan's feats are in the comics, so I'm sure the fight would be a lot closer, but I still believe Bane would win!

Cute. I'm sure the time period in which he broke a griffin's neck is of tremendous relevance.

As for the "Conan was once shot with two arrows and plucked them out", big whoop. Bane's been shot with bullets and ignored the effects completely. He's had about a dozen bricks hurled at his face by Alex Merkel Jr.

@CitizenBane: Cute-I'm sure the fact that the bricks were thrown by Alex Merkel Jr. is of tremendous relevance. The time period I mentioned is actually relevant because it demonstrates that Bane is a character that owes a lot to Conan (as well as Doc Savage and Batman). Bane, as he was written in Secret Six, shares many similarities with Conan as he was written by Roy Thomas. Anyhow, thanks for "proving" that Bane wins the fight. Bane is very durable-Conan has survived falls from hundreds of feet, hitting every obstacle on the way down, and been fine. I'm willing to bet Conan is just as durable. I mentioned why I think Conan would win in my posts above.

The fact that Bane was able to take out about fifteen warriors of Skartaris is pretty impressive. However, consider the fact that Conan has routinely taken on scores upon scores of enemies, piled them into heaps at his feet, and come out of it relatively unscathed, and Bane's feat looks like nothing by comparison.

@TheBane2890: I'm a big fan of both characters. You should do yourself a favor and read some Conan comics. The early Marvel issues are excellent, as is the recent Dark Horse stuff. If you're a Bane fan, you will like Conan as well. The Conan movies were good, but I wouldn't use those as feats. Most Conan fans don't consider Arnie and Momoa's Conan portrayals to be canonical.

Again, exactly WHO has Conan fought who has any level of skill resembling the people Bane has fought, like Batman, Nightwing and Azrael? No one. He carves through mountains of cannon fodder, which is nice, but they're still just cannon fodder.

I can think of only Yannisa and Shinzen, I am too lazy to post scans, I'll do it later, Yannisa is a girl who made some sort of pact with a sorcerer. Terms of their alliance was that Yannisa would serve her for half the length of her training, or twice the length I'm not sure. On first night of her training she was thrown in very large pit and was given a sword. Soon later demon attacked her, looking like xenomorph, she was unable to save herself and demon raped her. Next night 2 demons arrived. Next 3. Every day more and more came until Yannisa was capable of slaying thousands of them in one night. Of course there was always this sorcerer named Bone Woman who helped her heal and gave her advices. Conan fought her while he was still a teenager and managed to hurt her, everyone in the crowd was shocked because no man has ever managed to land a shot on her. Shinzen is some sort of samurai who was given demonic powers and Conan managed to beat him barely with the friends help.

Maybe I can help, with concerns of Conan... Conan is a "peak human" all around physically, EXCEPT in strength. He has regular feats that would put him at 2+ ton strength.
