New characters (who really like to stare at their hands), powers that may be the result of a bite from a radioactive rainbow, and lots of punching are the stars here – although a cameo from a few old favorites lurks toward the end. If that’s not enough, Joystiq also has some new screens. Check out the full trailer after the break.
