"Kane used to be human. And just like you all, he was a dull and tired man who used his power for what he thought was justice. But the justice he believed in betrayed him, and killed his beloved wife and daughter... That which he believed to be just, drove those he loved to their deaths... It was the finest despair I've ever seen!"

Galena to the Player and Izuku Midoriya about Kane's past

Many years before the events of Jump Force, Kane was an ordinary human, he was married and had a daughter, however his family died due to what he believed to be just. Because of this he no longer believed in heroes or justice and started believing that strength is everything. He became corrupted, wanting to destroy the current and make a new world, because of this he started working with Director Glover and Galena, and getting further corrupted by an Umbras Cube, that changed his appearance, and gaining the ability to manipulate the Umbras Cubes at will.

"Heroes are supposed to save the world in the name of justice... In that case, I'll destroy that world, and create a new one... A world that refuses justice, where power dominates all! That's right... That is how this world should be! But with my power, I can remake it."

Kane to the Player, Naruto and Gaara in Jump Force

Driven by a messianic complex, during the game Kane believes the world is irreparably broken and must be destroyed to be reborn. At the start of the game Kane and Galena discuss their plan to create a large enough Venom army to destroy the real world. Throughout the story Kane utilizes the dark powers of the Umbras Cubes to manipulate and corrupt other characters, turning them into Venoms to further his plans. His ultimate goal is to remake the world in his vision, dismissing conventional notions of justice and hope as foolish.

"This world no longer has any meaning for me. Ever since I lost everything for believing in something as foolish as justice, so too did the world lose all sense of meaning... Remaking it is unlikely to change that... Yes... I want to break things... I want to utterly destroy this contemptible world!"

Kane to the Jump Force Heroes before his defeat

Right after his final fight, and defeat, against the Jump Force, Director Glover appears and takes the Onyx Book, he then tells Kane that his role is no longer needed, revealing that Kane was working for Director Glover, he then reveals himself as Prometheus. Kane tries punching Prometheus but is stopped by Galena, who kicks him away before blasting him. Revealing that Kane was a puppet for the pair all along. This betrayal does lead to Kane's downfall and his status is unknown until he finally reappears during the climax against Prometheus, with the assistance of Light Yagami, where he rips his own Umbras Cube from his torso and forcefully gives it to the Player, and he tells Prometheus that humans are not to be underestimated, before collapsing.

"I know...you can do this... After all... You never stopped believing...in yourself..."

Kane to the Player after giving them his Umbras Cube

After his collapsing during the climax of the story it is somewhat ambiguous whether he actually died or simply disappeared after the confrontation.

Power

"Those who lack power don't deserve to live."

Kane to the Player after recognizing the other Jump Force members as true heroes

It is unknown how strong Kane was as a human, but it is known that he used his power for what he thought was justice. After his corruption he is powerful enough to easily defeat the Jump Force Heroes for most of the game, and even stand his ground against the Player, Goku, Piccolo, Luffy and Naruto all together, in his last fight.

It's worth noting that both Goku and Vegeta are both able to use their Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan transformation in the game, meaning that they're at the very least based on their Golden Frieza story arc counterparts, but never used them in story mode, using only their basic Super Saiyan transformation. Even then, this still goes to show how powerful Kane is.
