25 years later and I can still hear the theme music in my mind whenever it comes up in conversation. As a kid, the intro just got you so pumped up.

Best theme music ever? Maybe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAkL2-vh2Sk

I enjoyed the X-Men theme, but I think Spiderman's easily tops it for me (I also loved the 2nd version of the Iron Man Theme growing up).

For reference: theme songs from Fantastic Four, Hulk, Iron Man, Spiderman and Xmen.

Oddly enough, I was singing the Spider-Man theme to myself last night as I was walking around the house. 20 years later, and it still randomly gets stuck in my head.

"Spider blood, spider blood, radioactive spider blood..."

Yes! This still gives me goosebumps.

I couldn't stand the 1989 [X-Men:_Pryde_of_the_X-Men] theme song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1qrbAGsEOw&feature=youtu.be...

There was a whole lot of shows during the 80s/90s with awesome intros. Sadly more often than not it is only the intro that has aged well.

That was a very information-dense intro. I watched that link and it felt like three minutes, but was just 1:01 when I checked the duration!
