The show chronicles the adventures of the title character, Freakazoid, a manic, insane superhero who battles with an array of super villains. The show also features mini-episodes of adventures of other bizarre superheroes. Dexter Douglas (Freakazoid's alter ego) gained his superhero abilities from a computer bug, which zapped him into cyberspace and the Internet (similar to digitization in TRON). References to TRON and other sci-fi movies were scattered throughout the show's two season run. Freakazoid's arch-nemesis, Armando Gutierrez, also gains his powers this way. After his first defeat, Gutierrez has half of his body covered in circuit-like glowing lines, like a TRON-inspired Two-Face.

The show is similar to fellow Ruegger-led programs such as Animaniacs, and the humor is unique in its inclusions of slapstick, fourth wall firings, parody, surreal humor, and pop cultural references. The series was one of the first to debut on the new Kids' WB Saturday morning block of The WB, on September 9, 1995. The series lasted for two seasons, finishing with 24 episodes, the final one broadcast on June 1, 1997. Although the series originally struggled in the ratings, reruns on Cartoon Network from April 5, 1997 until March 29, 2003, and a huge fan following have elevated the series to become a cult hit.
