Cast: Barry Brisco, Michael Budinger, Mitch Cohen, Rick Collins, Caleb Emerson

In 1984, Lloyd Kaufman and the Troma Team introduced the Toxic Avenger to an unsuspecting world. No one could have expected the response The Toxic Avenger received, with rave reviews in The New York Times and The Village Voice and playing theatrically in New York City for a year. Since then, Toxie has grown from a cult icon to an indelible part of the American lexicon. In the space of fifteen years, Tromaville's favorite hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength has traveled from movies to comics to TV to the World Wide Web. Toxie's brilliant career has produced two theatrical sequels, The Toxic Avenger Part II and The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation Of Toxie, an animated television series (Toxic Crusaders), numerous spin-off comic books published both by Marvel Comics and Troma's own independent comics imprint, action figures, games, Topps trading cards, designer jewelry, and more merchandise than you can shake a mop at.
