Spoilers ahead
As the story begins, we see a very typical setting for a dark comedy — a toxic waste dump located off the New Jersey Turnpike, which sets the stage for a unique and bizarre superhero tale. The residents of Tromaville are desperately calling for help, singing a catchy chorus of “Who Will Save New Jersey?” Their cries echo through the scene as we are introduced to Melvin Ferd the Third (Chô), an overly earnest and somewhat awkward aspiring earth scientist. Melvin is deeply committed to cleaning up his town, despite the widespread skepticism from the townspeople who doubt that he can make any real difference.
