The Toxic Avenger

In the polluted depths of New Jersey, Melvin Fird the Third, an aspiring earth scientist, is determined to clean up Tromaville’s toxic waste problem. Working with Sarah, the town’s blind librarian, he discovers that none other than Babs Belgoody, Tromaville’s corrupt mayor, is the one behind the dumping! She and her goons get wind of his plans to expose them, and vow to stop his heroic attempts, whatever it takes.

After the goons drop him into a giant vat of toxic waste, Melvin reemerges as The Toxic Avenger, the greenest, nastiest hero New Jersey has ever had - more determined than ever to clean up Tromaville and put an end to the Mayor’s evil ways!
