DC Deck-Building Game: Forever Evil – Bane Super Villain

About this expansion

DC Deck-Building Game: Forever Evil – Bane Super Villain is a board game for 1–5 players, released in 2016. It features an oversized Super-Villain Character card centered on Bane and a precise timing-based ability.

Bane’s card focuses on the first card you play during each of your turns. If that card has a cost of 1 or greater, the ability allows you to choose whether to destroy it. When you do, Bane provides +2 Power.

The card’s complete ability reads: “If the first card you play during each of your turns has cost 1 or greater, you may destroy it. If you do, +2 Power.” This wording defines both the condition and the reward, making the order of your plays especially important whenever Bane’s ability applies.

• Player count: 1–5 players
• Release year: 2016
• Card type: Oversized Super-Villain Character card
• Ability: Potentially destroy the first card played with a cost of 1 or greater for +2 Power

As a featured card, Bane brings a distinctive rule to the Forever Evil setting through a direct interaction between card cost, play order, destruction, and Power. The optional wording also leaves the decision with the player when the condition is met.

For players looking at the individual Super-Villain cards in DC Deck-Building Game: Forever Evil, Bane stands out for the concise way his effect rewards a qualifying first play with additional Power.
