When Health-Club janitor and super-nerd Melvin, played in the film by Mark Torgl got into a fight with hot-dude bullies and fell from the window into a vat of fallout after-goo and emerged The Toxic Avenger, his celebrity was instantly confirmed and the character and movie were catapulted into the oft-considered untouchable Pantheon of Superheros with a dark-side, warm-heart and BIG MOP.
