Codename: Kids Next Door Christmas Special had an interesting X2 Parody theme to it.
The plot is that someone frames KND for stealing Santa's reindeer and Santa's "Elf-Ah Strike" show up to get them back. These elves are blatant parodies of X-Men characters including:
Wolverine - Wintergreen (with pepermintium bones)
Nightcrawler - Nutcracker (complete with teleporting powers and a bad german accent)
Storm - Snow Angel (possibly some mixture of Angel and Phoenix)
Colossus - Coniferous (with prickly pine armor)
To further the X-Men similaries we find out that the "reindeer" are actually the controls to Santa's high-tech toy delivery machine (Which looks exactly like cerebro from the x-men movies). It links to the Christmas trees of every child in the world.

What about the Stan Lee-esque voice over?

Yeah, there's actually quite a bit of Marvel mockery in the episode. I didn't think the Fantastic Four references were nearly as clever.
I really wish I could find pics of Santa's Elf-Ah Strike
