Bane from Batman: The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
As Batman’s primary antagonist, Bane is the leader of the League of Shadows. He is physically strong and well-versed in military strategy. A previous injury forces him to wear a mask because he needs oxygen to breathe. The mask gives him a different voice whilst speaking, hence making his character profoundly noticeable.

Eddie Brock from Venom (2018)
The sequel to the film, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, was released a few days ago. The movie received mixed reviews both from fans and movie critics.
