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.

Which Fleer Ultra X-Men Series 1 New Mutants card is the best?
Art from Bill Sienkiewicz, Bo Hampton & Joe Phillips.
-
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.

107 - X-Cutioner's Song
It could use more baby food, but otherwise, this captures the vibe of the story pretty well.
-
029 - Havok
Havok usually trading cards well, and I generally dig Palmer's painted work, but this feels like a miss. Havok is channeling the Living Monolith a bit too much, especially w/the white pupil-less eyes.
-
016 - Professor X
Solid card, which manages to use his hoverchair without making it the dominate element of the image.
I have always been distracted by whatever the pole thing is that looks like it's coming out of the monitor.

064 - Black Knight
I love Leather Jacket Lightsaber Black Knight so much.
Also, love that Palmer, who inked Epting on most of the Leather Jacket Avengers, does this card.
-
036 - Blade
Love to see Tom Palmer contributing to this set - his painted covers are some of the best of the 80s - but this Blade is thoroughly fine. Zooming in or a more eye-catching background would help.
-
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.
-
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.

Card 099: Proctor
He's just a guy with red eyes and luscious locks on the card, but if you're only going to give one #Avengers baddie a card in 1993, there's no way it's not the unfortunately-named Proctor.
-
Card 098: Red Skull
The #Avengers baddies are the poster children for the "here's some busts to fill out the group shot" approach.
Kudos to referencing the "cloned body of #CaptainAmerica" bit, right in the Origin, no less!
-
Card 097: Bloodaxe
All the Avengers villains get slotted into the bottom row, starting with this Thunderstrike baddie, another character I'm sure we all remember!

Card 096: Hercules
Hercules with his first trading card!
It's kinda funny that his mace gets called in the DYK fact when it barely gets any play during his time in the Leather Jacket Avengers.

Card 095: Captain America
With the Avengers new HQ in the background; since that was the HQ when I started reading, I assumed it had been around a long time. Ultimately, it lasted maybe 3-ish years.

-
Card 094: Thunderstrike
The first Thunderstrike card, but thanks to the circumstances of Thor's narrative in the early 90s, this is Eric Masterson's third trading card, having appeared as Thor in series 2 & 3.

-
Card 093: Sersi
Rounding out the top row with the final side of the Crystal-Black Knight-Sersi love triangle.
-
Card 092: Crystal
Crystal is one of those characters who feels like she should be way more powerful than she's typically depicted as being.

Card 091: Black Knight
New page: #Avengers w/art from #RonFrenz & #TomPalmer!
Big "how it started/how it ended" energy for the Harras/Epting run here, going from the cardfront to the cardback.
