The Toxic Avenger

David Bryan & Joe DiPietro

The city of Tromaville (New Jersey) is becoming a disaster zone as it suffocates under the fumes from toxic waste, threatening the health of its inhabitants. And instead of cleaning up the mess, the local mayor, Babs Belgoody, is actually raking in kickbacks for allowing piles of the toxic goo to be stored all over the place–But help is at hand: none other than shy Melvin Ferd the Third, now mutated into a green super-hero after being doused in toxic waste, decides to rescue the town and, in the process, win the heart of blind librarian Sarah.
