Eric Wimp, an ordinary schoolboy living at 29 Acacia Road, Nuttytown later changed to Dandytown and then Beanotown when the strip moved to other comics , eats a banana to transform into Bananaman, an adult superhero, sporting a distinctive cowled blue and yellow outfit complete with a yellow two-tailed cape resembling a banana skin.

His superpowers include the ability to fly, superhuman strength, and seeming invulnerability. This is offset by the fact that he is just as naive and foolish as his alter ego; as mentioned in the comic once or twice, he has the muscles of twenty men and the brains of twenty mussels. In other word's he is stupid. If Bananaman needs extra power, bananas can be eaten for strength boosts, provided by his sidekick Crow; if he does not have enough strength to shatter an ice block, for example, after eating another banana, he will have enough.

If he eats lots of bananas in one sitting, he quickly becomes obese in his transformation; if he eats bananas that are not full, he transforms with extra weight in the lower part of his body.

There have also been comics where he has eaten a variant on normal bananas, and transforms differently, reflecting the difference in that banana. The effects of eating the bananas are not consistent from story to story. Tim Brooke-Taylor narrated the programme, as well as giving his voice to Eric and a few other characters, whilst Graeme Garden was Bananaman, as well as his enemy General Blight. General Blight was top of the Banana crime list; a Hitler-a-like who spent a lot of time aiming for world domination, the hugeness of his ambition to create trouble was only beaten by the hugeness of his nose.

He was often accompanied towards his goal by another not-so-masterly criminal Dr Gloom. After being in prison, the Heavy Mob escaped with help of The Mole, a legendary crime figure whose Mole Machine can tunnel underground. The Weatherman no, not Ian McCaskill wore a natty flying cap and controlled the weather well, what did you think he did? He was helped out by The Snowman, a psychotic Welsh robot. General Blight also had his own personal hit man. Well, all right then, hit lady.

Auntie was a grey-haired, pink-clad lethal assassin who communicated with him via a walkie-talkie and CB code. It takes all sorts….
