Toxic Crusaders
''Toxic Crusaders'' is an animated series based on ''The Toxic Avenger'' films. It features Toxie, the lead character of the films leading a group of misfit superheroes who combat pollution. This followed a trend of environmentally considerate cartoons and comics of the time, including ''Captain Planet and the Planeteers'', ''Swamp Thing'', and the ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures''. As this incarnation was aimed at children, ''Toxic Crusaders'' is considerably tamer than the edgy films it was based on (although it nevertheless contain many adult-oriented jokes that would go over most children's heads). Thirteen episodes were produced and aired, with at least a few episodes airing as a "trial run" in Summer 1990〔Kahn, Eve M. ("Television; Cartoons for a Small Planet" ) The New York Times (March 3, 1991).〕 followed by the official debut on January 21, 1991.〔''Toxic Avenger'' Issue #1, Marvel Comics, "Toxic Times" letters page; photo (here ).〕 It aired on YTV 1991 to 1997 in Canada.
==Overview==
Prior to ''Toxic Crusaders'', cartoons based on R-rated (under-17s must be accompanied) films had indeed been attempted with programs like ''Rambo: The Force of Freedom''. However, the content of the ''Toxic Avenger'' films was arguably more controversial than many such films, featuring strong sexual content in addition to intense violence. Created by New York-based Troma, Inc., a company famous for such low-budget classic films as ''Chopper Chicks in Zombietown'', ''Class of Nuke 'Em High'', and ''Sgt. Kabukiman, NYPD'', the animated ''Toxic Crusaders'' departed significantly from its live-action source.
The ''Toxic Avenger'' film series starred Melvin Junko, a scrawny nerd who, through exposure to toxic waste, was mutated into a “hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength.” In the films, “Toxie” took his revenge on industrial America by means of gory violence and bloodbaths. True to Troma’s reputation, other R-rated material abounded as well.
Only thirteen syndicated episodes of ''Toxic Crusaders'' were produced, but like the feature films, the episodes became cult favorites, spawning a string of merchandising.
