Toxic Crusaders
''Toxic Crusaders'' is a 1991 animated series aimed at children, loosely 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 well as cartoons based on R-rated properties like ''RoboCop'' and ''Police Academy''. As this incarnation was aimed at children, ''Toxic Crusaders'' is considerably tamer than the edgy films it was based on (although it nevertheless contained 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 1990Kahn, Eve M"Television; Cartoons for a Small Planet"The New York Times (March 3, 1991). followed by the official debut on January 21, 1991. ...
