This is one of Tromas absolute classics. A nerdy janitor at a health club gets bullied and in an accident gets dumped into a toxic vat of slime and it turns him into...THE TOXIC AVENGER. stomping out all the nastiness in Tromaville one bully and corrupt politician at a time

This one is fantastic and one of my favorites
