Oddities
- Who gave the thumbs up on the Dr. Seuss style helicopter?
- Wolverine goes from street clothes aboard a crashing plane to suddenly in his yellow costume once it has crashed with no mention as to why or how he chose such an odd time span to change clothes
- Anti-radiation spray...Yep, just spray it on like sunscreen, and you're good to go for one hour in any scenario that may have dangerous radiation as an obstacle - Marvel's been watching too many re-runs of the '66 Batman show
- In the end, Spider-Man and Cyclops seem to have the same conclusion as to how to send the gods to space, but the overall plan is so convoluted, there's no way they had the same idea at the same time - It involves every member of the X-Men, along with Spider-Man, using their powers in a specific sequence to blast them through Cyclops optics into the heavens

Wow. A rare one Stan head rating. How can you not like the X-Men? No, don't answer that. :-)
