Join us as we look at the original TV incarnations and pit them against their big-screen counterparts.

And if all of this stirs up your immense superpower of 'keen interest in comic-book heroes', then you can find the whole series of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes on our VOD service from the beginning of May. it may be a cartoon, but we'll be watching it so we'll swear blind that it's not just for kids if you will.
