092 - Reaper
I always loved the recurring "Reaper keeps getting limbs cutoff by X-people" gag.
-
091 - Wildside
"Richard Gill" is just a great real name for this character (which I think this card may be revealing). Like, when he's not ripping out guts as Wildside, he's trimming the bushes of his suburban home as Dick Gill.
-
090 - Tempo
I don't know what "manipulating time" looks like, but this is pretty close.
I love that the cardback both cites her as a member of the MLF, and talks about how she quit the group.

089 - Sinsear
We all remember Sinsear, right?
Right?
Heck, even Slayback has appeared in more stories than this guy.
Also, I still have no idea why his name is a pun on "sincere."

088 - Slayback
With this card, Slayback enters "the same number of trading cards appearances as story appearances" territory (two), at least as of '94.
Pretty good card, though. Nice depth & I like the tilt of the nonsensical skyline.

087 - Graydon Creed
We are at a point where Creed has actually appeared in comics, and yet, this card is still using the Jim Lee Upstarts card/Stryfe's Strike Files design.
-
086 - Siena Blaze
Continuing the run of Upstarts - which might be the most 1994 thing about this set. Though Siena Blaze is a legit inclusion at this time, and this is a good card (even if it makes her power look like "makes snow").
-
085 - Fitzroy
Not sure Julie Bell is the best artist for a character I associate most with the crosshatchy-Portacio style and the chonky JRjr style.
-
084 - Shinobi Shaw
Definitely pro showcasing "hedonistic hot tub Shinobi" on his trading card. He should just always be in a hot tub.
I've never really considered how his power is basically just "Kitty Pryde."
-
083 - Gamesmaster
Like Gideon, a better card than this character deserves.
I love how you can trace the shifting goals/prize of the Upstarts competition just via trading cards (in the Jim Lee series, it was immortality)
-
082 - Gideon
This single image imbues Gideon with more energy and personality than any single comic book appearance I can think of.

081 - Brood
A relatively action-oriented image relative to most of Sienkiewicz's other contributions to this set. I like that he chose to highlight their flying ability, which tends to get overlooked (and makes them even creepier).

080 - Sentinels
Underrated (by me) card. Effectively presents the idea of the Sentinels as boogymen. Putting two people in the foreground helps sell the scale and sense of menace while giving the image a bit of a narrative.

079 - Silver Samurai
Not sure what's happening with that left hand, but otherwise a decent rendition of another "greatest hits" villain.
-
078 - Nimrod
Another character who wasn't up to much in 1994, but I'm glad got included, especially since this is one of my favorite cards in the set. Love the different depth planes on it, from fist to body to wall to behind the wall.

077 - Wendigo
Whenever these sets' card counts get expanded it's always nice when the extra space is used to highlight older characters who maybe aren't in the spotlight at the moment, like Wendigo, vs. just the kewl new jobbers-du-jour.
-
076 - Caliban
Making his last appearance on a card as a villain, before his upcoming re-face turn ("Re-Face-ning"?) in the comics.
-
075 - Spiral
For a character known for her swordplay, this card sure features a lot of....[puts on sunglasses] guns [CSI Miami yowl].

074 - Mojo
I don't know if an extreme closeup on Mojo's face is the best way to capture his character, but at least it's an exceedingly well-done extreme closeup from Sienkiewicz, who may well be this set's stealth MVP.

-
073 - Matsu'o
Between killing Mariko, thawing out Omega Red and his tangential connection to the Upstarts, Matsu'o probably deserved a trading card long before this, yet he gets his first only around the time that he dies.
-
072 - Arcade
This might be my single favorite presentation of Arcade ever. Captures his personality & schtick well, great depth to the image. Good stuff.
Though at first glance, I always think it's Lilandra being blasted on the monitors.

071 - Pyro
A much appreciated improvement over the previous' series Pyro card; good use of light and shadow here, and impressive how the figure pops despite the sameness of the colors.

070 - Black Tom
Intentional or not, this layout seems like an effort to highlight Black Tom's then-recent "I'm part tree now" transformation, which is smart.
Less smart is not saying anything about any of that in the cardback bio.

-
069 - X-Cutioner
A way cooler looking card than X-Cutioner probably deserves.
I love how in an era in which many characters, inc. several longstanding X-Men, have unknown names, X-Cutioner gets a regular ol' name thanks to his origin
-
068 - Ahab
With less than a handful of stories to his name, Ahab nabs a card presumably on the back of the ongoing "is Rory Campbell going to become Ahab?" subplot running in Excalibur at the time.
-
067 - Exodus
Another new arrival, albeit one who managed to outlast his initial status as a hot new 90s character.
Another reference to the Acolytes as the "Mutants of Avalon."
-
066 - Haven
One of the set's most "of the moment" inclusions, with Haven possessing all of one notable story - her first - to her name, then and now.
