But after sustaining damage in the incident, it decided the best way to save the world was to create heroes based on old VHS B-Movie “heroes”. Come together on this spooky, post-apocalyptic Halloween and meet our radiation-borne heroes: Jak the half-human, half-pumpkin teenage slacker. Savage Owl, half-human, half-owl (and all savage). Tod, half-human, half-demonic baby. And Dr. Frankenstein, who has been selected as their guide.
