With the Dandy also having gone out of print in , he now appears in The Beano with there being some overlap when he was appearing in both comics simultaneously.
During the s, the comics were adapted into a series of animated short s, which is how the character is best known outside Britain. The animated series has its own page, so please add tropes related to it there. As the great Patton Oswalt points out, did they find him at a sporting goods store? His real ability is just the bow and arrow. The next step in the recruitment would be approaching someone at said sporting goods store because they liked the way a guy played tetherball…. Nick Fury really had no excuse for not including Bananaman in the Avengers based on the hiring criteria.
If Howard the Duck is technically an avenger, so should Bannaman be. I grew up in England, so a big part of my life was Beano comics. This is a look back on all things Bananaman — which is now no problem for me to spell thanks to the Gwen Stefani song…. Bananaman is one such character.
On 29 Acacia road in the town of Nuttytown… lived a young boy appropriately named Eric Wimp. Eric leads an amazing life as not only is he a regular kid, he leads a double-life. Every time Eric eats a banana, he turns into — you guessed it — Bananaman! He first got this power after eating a special banana as a baby. He wears a blue and yellow costume and has some of the traditional superpowers. Bananaman remains naive, innocent, and even foolish. He may be less emotionally developed than Eric Wimp himself.
He has the ability to recharge himself by eating more bananas which gives him a video game-type boost. Like any great superhero, he has a sidekick which in this case is a crow. If he eats too many he immediately ends up obese. I guess this was a good lesson on childhood obesity issues in the U. Every good superhero needs an adversary, and in the case of Bananaman, his was the evil General Blight. There would be various criminals that would come through on a weekly basis in the comic, but Blight was his main foil.
