  1. 137 - Wolverine vs. Sabretooth

    New category: Wolverine's Greatest Battles!

    Recognizing what all the kids really want in 1994, this set just goes all-in on Wolverine for one of its categories.

  2. 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.

  5. Which Fleer Ultra X-Men Series 1 New Mutants card is the best?

  6. 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

  9. 039 - Tyler

    More fun w/Cable's vaguely-detailed backstory, this card was probably in development around the time of Cable #6-8, when we knew the character was back but before he dubbed himself Genesis and stole Wolverine's nose.

  10. 027 - Sunspot

    Capturing Sunspot's power glow-up era. Something about the domino mask on his "dark solar" face works really well, despite being functionally ridiculous.

  11. 023 - Legacy

    Pretty clearly the unqualified success of this "new character w/a trading card" gimmick, going on to hold down multiple volumes of a solo series.

    "Legacy" is still a pretty weak name, though.

  12. Marvel Masterpieces Series 2 #FantasticFour!

    (With Reed and Sue sitting this series out, we're getting flexible with the definition),

    Which card is YOUR favorite?

  13. 060 - Mystique

    Back in the day, this cardback was the first time I'd seen OG Mystique. I remember being fascinated by it, the minor ways the character's look was similar to and different from what I was used to.

  14. 039 - Magneto

    One of my favorite cards in this set. An effective mix of resolute, ominous, and haggard.

  15. 016 - Archangel

    Curiously, neither his first appearance as Angel nor Archangel is cited on the cardback; rather it's randomly the 5th issue of X-Men.

  16. 011 - Silver Surfer

    Julie Bell - who, with her husband Boris Vallejo, would later paint all the cards in the last Marvel Masterpieces set of the 90s - with an evocative Silver Surfer.

  17. Card 110: Archangel

    His wings get clipped (high oh!) by the nine panel grid, but I do like how his body extends past the bottom border. In general,

    Thibert does a good job making these figures feel bigger on the card.
