Here we go! It's the lean, green, ninja team!

For as long as we'd possibly care to remember, we've known and loved the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. From back as kids when we would totally not act out battle scenes and pretend to be our favourite Turtle (Leonardo obviously), we've been in love with these crime fighting dudes.

Thankfully, because we have the most awesome job in the world, we get to spend our days searching high and low for some of our favourite things, ready to pop them onto the site for the whole world to see and snap up for their very own. We know, it's a hard life.

Feeding on our Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo love, we've just gotten our eager hands one some amazing new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles T-Shirts that are THE perfect way to show off your inner green hero in style. Take a peep....

Leonardo

The eldest, most disciplined and ultimately the fearless leader of the pack, Leonardo is a force to be reckoned with and is top of our 'which one would you be' list.

Peel the Power! Bananaman First Released 35 Years Ago Today!

As mad as it is to think, Britain's fruitiest superhero first hit the comic strips today back in 1980!

First appearing in the very first issue of Nutty (then later the Dandy), Eric Wimp AKA Bananaman is an ordinary schoolboy living at 29 Acacia Road, Nuttytown (originally) who when he feels the need or there is hero work to be done eats a Banana which transforms him into one of the most loved retro superheroes ever!

Eric had a crush on Fiona, the newsreader, and as Bananaman he had to fight against the evil plots of General Blight, the Heavy Mob, Dr Gloom, and some aliens called Nerks lead by King Zorg. Busy boy!

Later hitting the screens in 1983, we were introduced to his classic theme tune and intro and a new look Eric making him looks slightly less punky and more nerdy. Perfect Superhero material :)

"This is 29, Acacia Road. And this is Eric, the schoolboy who leads an exciting double life. For when Eric eats a banana, an amazing transformation occurs. Eric is Bananaman. Ever alert for the call to action."

Running for a total of 40 episodes which were just 5 minutes long, Bananaman certainly isn't the longest living superhero there has ever been but his quirky get up and silly nature really won our hearts and also made us think that Bananas were just about as powerful and things got!

Take a look....

.

Firstly....WOWZERSSSS! How exciting is this?! Taking on a little darker tone in this trailer than their usual style of one liners, this new film sees The Avengers take on Ultron, Marvels super villain robot, and his evil robot army are seems set on destruction with Ultron quoting... “I’m going to show you something beautiful,” he says. “Everyone screaming for mercy. You want to protect the world, but you don’t want it to change. You’re all puppets, tangled in strings. Strings.” As always with good trailers, we're left wanting more and more and are left with more questions than answers such as....
