Garbageman
Context
Villains & Vigilantes is an early (1979) pen-and-paper super-hero super-hero role playing game. We have a fairly large selection of characters from that game, with DCH stats.
They’re here in no small part due to nostalgia. But they also are interesting stock characters in that they can be easily inserted into stories, conveniently filling their niche.

History
Sam Baker was a professional garbage man who always worried about hauling toxic wastes without knowing it. One day, his fears came true. Although it is unclear what ended up in his truck, it brutally warped him into an inhuman monster and warped his mind to evil.
The Garbageman is now a rampaging menace.

Sure. He sounds vaguely like a Young Justice villain anyway (the 2000s comics book).
