Bananaman is Britain’s goofiest superhero with a potassium-powered punch! First appearing in Nutty comic in 1980 and later animated for TV, Bananaman is the alter ego of Eric Wimp (or Eric Twinge, depending on the era)—a mild-mannered schoolboy who transforms into a muscle-bound hero whenever he eats a banana.

Set in the delightfully absurd town of Acacia Road, Bananaman battles baddies like General Blight, Doctor Gloom, and the Weatherman, often with more enthusiasm than competence. With his exaggerated strength, flying ability, and a knack for slapstick chaos, he’s a parody of classic superheroes wrapped in British humour.
