Bananaman

Young Eric Wimp lives a miserable life as a schoolboy until he accidentally swallows a banana. This gives him superpowers, transforming him into the muscular and heroic Bananaman. As Bananaman, he fights crime and saves the day, often with help from his friends, while trying to keep his identity a secret from his bully, the Headmaster, and his Aunt.
