Bane's mind was overwritten, in effect, by Smith. When the Caduceus operator called to allow Bane to jack out, it was the Bane/Smith assimilated mind that left the Matrix. Bane's body in the real world possessed the dominant 'consciousness' of Smith. Now with an existence in the real world, Smith easily went about the world of Zion using Bane's body as a disguise. Bane/Smith was obsessed with the sensations of an actual human body, and proceeded to mutilate himself with a knife to experience what human pain felt like. He attempted to stab Neo shortly after awakening in the real world, but was interrupted by the Kid, who came to see Neo on his way. Image File history File links Ian Bliss as Bane. ...

While Bane/Smith was initially unsuccessful in convincing the captain of the Caduceus to join in the Zion Council's search for the hovercraft Nebuchadnezzar, Bane/Smith later created disaster by sabotaging the Zion counterattack against the burrowing Machine forces by blowing the Caduceus EMP weapon early, disabling all other hovercraft in the counterstrike and leaving them helpless as the Machines destroyed each ship. Bane, the only survivor of the disaster, was later found unconscious by the Hammer. The Nebuchadnezzar is a hovercraft captained by Morpheus in the Matrix movies. ... EMP redirects here. ...


In The Matrix Revolutions, when asked about the counterattack disaster, Bane/Smith said that he could not remember the incident.

Bane/Smith later attacked Trinity and Neo. In the fight with Neo, Bane/Smith used a power conduit to cauterize Neo's eyes, blinding him. However, because of his limited real-world powers as The One, Neo discovered that he could 'see' the golden auras of anything or anyone that contained Machine programming. This new ability allowed Neo to find Bane/Smith while he hid in a recessed, pitch-black equipment room on the ship. Neo decapitated Bane/Smith with a pipe to end Smith's terrorism in the real world.
