I thought the opening was interesting, i'm just curious... did Beast ever fight in the series? I don't remember him ever actually fighting.

In the "Night of the Sentinals" arc, when the X-Men infiltrated the computer lab where Mutant Registration Database was, Beast was present during the fight. However, he got taken down by Sentinals fairly quickly and spent the rest of the first season in prison.

After that he rarely fought anybody, and ya know...I'm hard-pressed to think of a moment where he actually DID fight.

In the episode "Obsession" where the X-Men trap Apocalypse on a living space ship he was present. He didn't really "fight" but he did make sure Apocalypse got trapped in the energy prison and did a good job of avoiding his attacks (bouncing off ledges and running alond walls).

I can't think of any specific instances in which he actually punched anybody. Hmmm...

Easy. The one where he fell in love with the blind woman, he cures her, her racist father steals her away, then the Freinds of Humanity do. Beast and Wolvie go after 'em. Beast kicks their butts, but then is forced to leave his girl due to the nature of their worlds remaining indifferent.

You know, I can't name an episode where Beasts adds an intellectual addition to a discussion though...

What about the Iron Man theme from the second season?

Probably the best Marvel theme next to the Hulk and X-Men, and eeer...the Fantastic Four theme

Holy crap, I'd forgotten what the second season theme for Iron Man was like.

"I. Am. IRON MAN!"

Just change the inflection of the syllabels and Marvel doesn't get sued.

I love that Iron Man opening, I have it as a wav on my computer somewhere and I listen to it quite often, but I've never seen a single episode of the cartoon. I can't even remember where I got that file from, it's just there and it's good.

Oh, and that FF-one reminds me a bit of the MST3K-intro. "In the not so distant future..."

...Was that a metaphore for the entire series?

(By the way, WATCH the second season of Iron Man, its' much better than the first)

Particularly what they do to the Madarin in the last episode. One of my favorite moments in any Marvel cartoon.

Okay, I'll do my best to see it.

And as long as Sue Richards faints in every episode, the producers were happy.

In that case, I have just decided that Sue was fainting in Iron man as well.

See, I haven't seen Iron Man, but I'd love to, so I was thinking you were talking about FF.

You guys have a seriously good memory. I barely remember the ironman and FF cartoons. X men is still fresh in my mind though, because it comes on on saturday mornings still.
