December 16, 1995 TV Episode Mutant League

Studio
Franklin/Waterman Enterprises

Synopsis

An innocent town is thrown into chaos after a secret illegally stored toxic waste dump spills out into the city streets from beneath the sports stadium. The unfortunate athletes are immediately mutated into bizarre monsters. The transmutation leaves them with the ability to tolerate massive amounts of physical abuse. Some mutants even lose their head from time to time. Injuries that would prove fatal to normal people are simply shrugged off.

The athletes form a league of their own and play extremely violent versions of traditional sports, where disemboweling is simply part of the game. They regenerate any missing parts in a special mutegenic chamber.
