Small correction: ...we've got what, they fear so, here are the facts: We got power to the max, you know we're tough as nails...
The words to the theme tune sound lame now, but when I watched it I thought it was awesome. Then again, I though the orignal theme tune to the Ninja Turtles was "totally tubular." I didn't mind the Wild C.A.T.s series (despite large diveregences from the comic), but I preferred X-Men. The plot of 'Cats was hard to follow (as they tried to appeal to both younger and older viewers at the same time, which is a very difficult proposition), but quite clever in places. "Thrice three, and again thrice three makes four." It makes sense to a gamer who uses D4s a lot. The "Heaven vs. Hell" angle the comics always alluded to was kind of lost in the cartoon (Kherubhim - relating to cherubhim, seraphim or angels in general; Deaemonites - relating to demons), but it's not as if it was clear in the few issues of the comic book I read.
Was Pike a member of the Troika as well? I seem to remember he was a badass-looking guy similar to Hadrian/Spartan.
P.S. Long time fans of Wild C.A.T.s should pick up the Gen13 - We'll take Manhattan series. Hellspont tries his hand at being a superhero, complete with a Batmobile rip off...it's hilarious.

Nah, Pike was just one of Hellspont's bad guys. He was actually Kherubim like the Wildcats, but just an evil one. Hence, he joined Hellspont.

I listened to an MP3 of the theme just now and heard it for the first time in like, 10 years. I thought the theme was cool back then and still do now. The tune still kicks *** IMO as far as action-toon themes go, Very catchy too :)
"We've got invincible powers! WildCats! Yeaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
I want the DVD.
