Melvin Ferd, the Third, wants to clean up Tromaville, the most polluted town in New Jersey (just off Exit 13B on the Turnpike). Foiled by the mayor's bullies, Melvin is dumped into a vat of radioactive toxic waste, only to reemerge as The Toxic Avenger, New Jersey's first superhero. Affectionately known as Toxie, our new hero is a seven-foot mutant freak with superhuman strength and a heart as big as Newark. He's out to save New Jersey, end global warming, and woo the blind librarian in town. It's a toxic love story with an environmental twist! The Toxic Avenger will leave audiences laughing in the aisles as it rocks the house.

A literal blue collar cop who can see both the big picture and the nitty gritty of things. He respects rank, but not necessarily the voice or presumed authority behind it. Oh yeah, and he really loves Twinkies.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><br></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><b style="">Terrorist Klaus/Terrorist Tony: </b><i style="">(Male or Female, 20-45.

Baritone) </i>Cocky, streetwise, and hip to all things 80s pop culture. More than any other characters of the show they represent LA youth culture in the 80s.
