The 1984 movie was followed by two sequels (which were filmed back-to-back) and an “independent sequel” released in 2000 called Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV.
Now known as the Toxic Avenger, Melvin uses his newfound powers to fight crime in the most gory fashion possible.
Several Toxic Avenger books have also been written, and Marvel even published comic book stories focused on the hero briefly in the early ’90s.
For those who’ve never seen the original Toxic Avenger, the story follows a bullied young man named Melvin Herd who worked at a janitor at a health club.
