  • and Nightcrawler's "bamf!"

  • Wouldn't Wolvies "snikt" be one of those quieter sounds that chill rather then shock?

  • Was "Snikt" in there?

  • We love the action words! Only thing I don't like is them getting used on the news when doing a story. "Crash! Pow! Bam! Comic books are still around!"

  • At 00:04, BA-ROOM!!! The mail show could be "BA-ROOM MAIL ROOM!" Or that might silly... its a matter of opinion.

  • "Skrash" sounds pretty cool.

  • heeeey where was spider-man's signiture "Thwip" ??
