Meet Toxie: The Hero with a Heart (and a Mop)
The
Toxic Crusaders is an animated series that first oozed onto our screens in 1991. It was a zany, eco-conscious cartoon that followed the adventures of a group of mutants who fought against pollution and evil corporations. The show was a spin-off of the cult-classic film
The Toxic Avenger, created by Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz of Troma Entertainment.
The star of the show is Toxie, a.k.a. Toxie the Toxic Avenger. Originally Melvin Junko, a janitor at a health club, Melvin was transformed into Toxie after falling into a vat of toxic waste. Instead of meeting a grim fate, Melvin emerged as a super-strong, mop-wielding hero with a mission to clean up Tromaville and protect the environment from evil polluters. Toxie's transformation left him with a hideously deformed but super-powerful body and a heart of gold.
The Toxic Crusaders Team
Toxie isn't alone in his fight against pollution. He's joined by a quirky and lovable group of fellow mutants:
- No-Zone: A former pilot who, after a run-in with toxic sludge, was left with a giant nose and the ability to sneeze incredibly powerful blasts.
- Major Disaster: Once a military officer, he gained the ability to control plants after his toxic transformation.
- Junkyard: A man fused with his dog during a toxic accident, giving him enhanced strength and dog-like abilities.
- Headbanger: A two-headed creation resulting from the fusion of a mad scientist and a surfer dude.
Together, they make up the Toxic Crusaders, using their bizarre and unique powers to battle the evil Dr. Killemoff and his gang of polluting goons.
