042 - Punisher 2099
"What if the Punisher...but with...future guns.?"
Some of the 2099 reimaginings worked a little harder than others.
-
034 - Stryfe
Bless Joe Jusko for painting all those spikes.
This is just about the last year Stryfe can legitimately claim being deserving of a trading card.
-
030 - She-Hulk
Guest-starring Ultron!
Jusko knocks it out of the park with this one, capturing both She-Hulk's power and personality in one image.
-
029 - Forge
This card is important because it immortalizes Forge's 1980s, popped collar, short-shorts first appearance look in trading card form.
-
023 - Iron Fist
I appreciate that Jusko is doing characters he didn't do in the first series.
-
019 - Carnage
Jusko with a card that would feel right at home in Series 1 (Carnage, having just debuted, did not make the cut). Love the sense of depth created by the symbiote tendrils.
-
012 - Vision
Joe Jusko, who painted every card in Series 1, makes his Series 2 debut w/Vision's first Masterpieces card.
By 1993, he'd gone back into the red body, also making this the first non-White Vision solo trading card. -
011 - Bishop
Nice to get a Bishop card where he doesn't have a gun.
I have a lot of affection for this set - Christmas of '94 I got a wax box (a box of packs) as one of my gifts.
-
010 - Iceman
Iceman's early 90s glow-up makes it to the trading cards.
-
009 - Banshee
Banshee, kind of in limbo pre-Generation X, gets tagged as a reservist, which is a fun way to include a historically-important but less active character.
Love the sense of motion created by the tilted skyline.
-
008 - Revanche
Nothing says "1994 X-Men" quite like this capture of the small sliver of time in which Kwannon-in-Betsy's-body was a de facto member of the team using a French (for some reason) codename.
-
007 - Psylocke
Bill Sienkiewicz with his first card of the set. Sadly, it's not the greatest Psylocke card.
-
006 - Wolverine
The way his bio is vague about the loss of adamantium makes me assume it was written before "Fatal Attractions" and makes me wonder if the writer even knew the details of the story beyond "radical changes."
-
004 - Gambit
Gambit looks like he's nailing a power chord in the middle of an arena show.
This set also credits each artist, something I, someone who likes to credit artists but sucks at recognizing their styles, appreciates.
-
003 - Beast
Frontrunner for "Best Beast Trading Card."
In addition to adopting the thicker cardstock, glossy finishes & foil embellishments of Marvel Masterpieces, all the cards in this set are fully painted.
-
001 - Cyclops
This set immediately corrects a wrong from previous sets by starting off with the #1 X-Man. 😀
-
New #TradingCardADay series stars today! You may remember them being annoyingly-bound to the spines of comic books, featuring the arrival of high-end trading styling to the X-Men, Fleer Ultra X-Men series 1!
-
CL - Checklist
I do love that they made a checklist card for this set (released to various comic shops).
I can source at least four of the images of the cardfront (Punisher, Psylocke, Colossus & Jean).

027 - X-Treme
Seems apt that this is the last card of the "set."
Nary a hint of "Adam X" to be found!

026 - Tracer
This might be the most generic-looking character of all these, which is saying something.

-
025 - Eradikator 6
Another one-and-done-er!
The "K" in place of the "C" in Eradicator is laughably 90s (and is probably because of DC's "Eradicator"), but the "6" adds a little something.

024 - Empyrean
A character with a complicated power set tied directly to a specific storyline, Empyrean never really took off.
Props for teaching me a new vocab word via the name back in the day.

093 - Prisoner X #2 - 4/3/2019
I like that this a subtle homage to the iconic Polaris cover to X-Men #50.
