136 - Thunderbird
Can't do a collection of inactive X-Men without arguably the most famous one of all.
Somewhere along the way, I misplaced this card, so these images are from @tradingcarddb.
-
135 - Mastermind
One of the better trading card/static image depictions of Mastermind's powers.
The power description is reaching a bit; he technically doesn't go into people's minds - he needed help to do that w/Phoenix
-
134 - Dark Phoenix
Can't do a "dead X-Men" subset without Dark Phoenix!
The description of her powers on the cardback seems to have forgotten Phoenix was also telepathic.

133 - Mimic
As someone with a lot of fondness for the (not very good) 60s X-Men stories, I appreciate Mimic getting a card (presumably due to his imminent return as part of the Onslaught build-up).
-
132 - Mesmero
Having a new villain kill an old one to establish their bonafides is an old trick, but it must sting to be offed to make the Dark Riders cool - especially when their best days were already behind them.

Wedding of Cyclops & Jean Grey full triptych.
Cards 1 & 2 were a pain to connect. Either my scans are REALLY bad or they're generally just cut poorly - Angel is missing a chunk of his head! 🤣
-
131 - Sebastian Shaw
One of the fun things about these In Memoriam cards in hindsight is knowing how soon after the cards came out the dead characters would return - Shaw'll be back within a year.
-
130 - Goblin Queen
Not the best depiction of Maddie, but not terrible. I don't recall her being "officially" more powerful than Jean, though. I guess maybe on the grounds she was telepathic at a time Jean wasn't?
-
129 - Cypher
Poor dead Doug (another great card).
-
128 - Warlock
What a great card. To have Sienkiewicz working on this set and NOT have him do the Warlock card would have been a crime.
-
127 - Magik
New category: Deceased (I'm tagging it as #InMemoriam). It's mostly New Mutants & villains.
I appreciate the cardback text saying "reverted" and not the redundant "reverted back", one of my biggest grammatical pet peeves.
-
126 - Wedding of Cyclops & Jean Grey Part 3
Check out coif on Scott!
The Scott & Jean figures in the Lee costumes are clear lifts from X-Men (vol. 2) Annual #1 (Scott) and X-Men (vol. 2) #1 (Jean).
-
125 - Wedding of Cyclops & Jean Grey Part 2
This is the only one of the triptychs to feature the full assembled image on one of the cardbacks.
Larkin channeling Byrne a bit in that Dark Phoenix figure.
-
Full X-Factor team triptych!
This was tricky to put together - there's really no good way to line up Polaris & Havok's legs AND the bottom border between cards 2 and 3.
-
124 - Wedding of Cyclops & Jean Grey Part 1
The final "Teams" triptych celebrates the wedding of Cyclops and Jean Grey, the big event of 1994 (sorry, Phalanx Covenant).
The look on Jean's face is priceless.
-
120 - X-Factor Part 3
A very Wolfsbane-first card. I appreciate there are multiples of Madrox.
-
119 - X-Factor Part 2
I'm not sure I ever thought of the "Muir Island Saga" as a reverse Giant-Size X-Men #1 before, but that notion isn't entirely incorrect...
-
X-Force Team Triptych!
I thought this one was going to be tricky, but it came together pretty easily.
-
118 - X-Factor Part 1
It's less obvious when all three cards are together, but on its own, the perspective here makes Random look like he's just a tiny lil' guy.
-
116- X-Force Part 3
Brereton seems to have lost count of the characters, putting 2 each on the first two cards then cramming four onto the last card. 😆
-
Fleer Ultra X-Men Series 1 combined Excalibur triptych

-
116- X-Force Part 2
This cardback is Magik erasure!
Also, why did all the pre-X-Force departures involve characters with codenames which start with "M"?
-
115 - X-Force Part 1
I appreciate the cardback rightly starting the history of this team w/New Mutants, particularly since the comic at the time was very much embracing the idea of X-Force as the grownup New Mutants.
-
Fleer Ultra X-Men Series 1 Original Team cards!
Which one is your favorite?

123 - Excalibur Part 3
I appreciate that Feron's cloud head is on Rachel's card. Poor Micromax doesn't make the cloud head cut (he does at least get name checked on the card back).

122 - Excalibur Part 2
I messed up yesterday & jumped from X-Men Blue to Excalibur, but I'll finish out the triptych then go back.
It's too bad Widget couldn't make it onto Kitty's card since, you know, it's her.

Speaking of Steranko, here's the X-Men Blue full triptych!
This was a little tricky to line up; there's more carry over elements across the image. Some cropping (and the border I added) are doing some heavy lifting.
-
115 - Excalibur Part 1
Thanks to the fact that Excalibur at the time was only three members, this triptych basically serves as second cards for those members - w/past team members in the background as heads-in-clouds.

104 - Fall of the Mutants
Probably out of necessity, Phillips focuses on just one of the three stories & while it makes sense to go with the X-Men-specific storyline, it does mean we were robbed of getting Bird-Brain on a card.
-
103 - Mutant Massacre
New category: X-Overs!
Not sure I love the "toxic slime" coloring & font on the cardback but I do love Artie making it onto a trading card.
-
054 - Colossus
Unlike Feral, Colossus - who threw in w/the Acolytes since the last set of cards - rightly gets listed as a Super-Villain.
I like too that he leads off that section. Not sure why he's fighting Doc Ock though.
-
046 - Sunfire
Sunfire!
Making his trading card debut in an X-Men-specific set (following his first trading card in Marvel Universe Series 3).

002 - Rogue
In lieu of the classic bar graph stats, this set adopts a "Mutant Power Profile" featuring a partial wireframe (SO hot at the time) recreation of the cardfront image w/notes detailing the powers.
