In “The Toxic Avenger,” teenager Melvin Junko helps run his parents’ junkyard in the small town of Tromaville, New Jersey, where nothing much happens until an ill-timed incident. When the toxic waste train derails, Melvin is transformed into a horrifically deformed creature of superhuman size and strength. Under a media blackout imposed by Biohazard Solutions (BS) and its PR chairperson, Lindsay Flick, Melvin becomes the hero against BS and the ever-emerging mutant threats surrounding Tromaville. Ultimately, Melvin uncovers a vast conspiracy with far more far-reaching consequences than he could have imagined – but he knows that if everyone was aware of the crisis, they would take action to stop it.
