It's number four, Henry Cavill, best known as Charles Brandon in the BBC historical drama The Tudors. The others are all British actors playing other superheroes - 1. Andrew Garfield (Spider-Man) 2. Ioan Gruffudd (Mr Fantastic) 3. Christian Bale (Batman)
It's Galloway Forest Park in Scotland, given the International Dark Sky Association award in 2009. It marks the exceptional blackness of the night sky and limits the use of artificial light. Exmoor National Park (pictured) is bidding for the same status.
It's the treatment of obesity. Special bariatric ambulances have been built - complete with double-width stretchers, hoists and inflatable lifting cushions - to ferry the most obese patients. A campaign to save rural bus routes was launched this week, and it was reported that caffeine boosts female brain power.
It's Liberation Square. The square was originally called Midan Ismailia, after a 19th Century ruler. It was renamed after the Egyptian revolution in 1952, which established the country as a republic.
It's Epping Forest in Essex.
It's gorilla. Ambam walks upright like a human and has become a big attraction at a wild animal park in Kent.
It's George V, because apart from during World War II, it was in the 1920s that rail travel last hit the peak of 1.3bn journeys made in 2010.
