The Bane Mother was concealed in the ceiling of the Bubble Shock! factory, from where she provided the ingredients for Bubble Shock! The Mother seemed to have powerful psychic ability, able to control any human that had consumed the Bane ingredient in Bubble Shock! Her tentacles also proved a weapon against those she wished to harm, as evidenced when she attacked Maria Jackson and Sarah Jane Smith. (TV: Invasion of the Bane) Mrs Wormwood was blamed for the death of the Bane Mother by the Bane Kindred and went into exile. (TV: Enemy of the Bane)
