The 1986 Marvel intro exploited the world's most powerful computer

Sic transit gloria mundi: The Cray was the non plus ultra. Do not laugh.

Between 1983 and 1985 the fastest computer in the world was the Cray X-MP: Its two 105MHz processors paired with 16MB memory produced a performance of 1 million operations per second.

The price? 15 million dollars plus the cost of hard drives.

It was used for complex calculations and early CGI animations (including an animated Marvel intro in 1986, featuring a silvery, super-agile Spiderman).
