The Toxic Crusaders

The Toxic Crusaders was an animated series loosely based on Troma's blood and gore flick "The Toxic Avenger." The show aired in 1991, and only five of its 13 episodes were shown before the program was yanked off the air. The story is about a nerd, Melvin Junko, who falls into toxic sludge and becomes a hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength. He decides to do battle for justice and right the wrongs against pollution on our earth.
