Back in the nineties, there was an animated superhero show that appealed to fans of cartoons and environmentalists that helped people become aware of dangers for polluting the Earth.

Devil Doll/Curse of the Voodoo [Vinegar Syndrome] Blu-ray Release
The Devil Doll opens with a well-dressed man who looks exactly how I picture the Devil in human form.
