139 - Wolverine vs. Omega Red
Design-wise, going landscape for these "vs." cards makes sense, but I don't love how the card name stays in the same spot as if the image was portrait oriented.

138 - Wolverine vs. Cyber
Cracking these packs as a kid, I didn't realize just how many Marvel greats worked on this set. We've had John Romita Sr., Bill Sienkiewicz, and now Mike Zeck.

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.

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.
-
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).

Who wore it better: Portal Bishop or X-Logo Bishop?

042 - Dazzler
Well done painting but the shoulder strap makes me think she has a cigarette & the light effects make me think she has peacock feathers.
Also, I don't know that she's ever *met* Xavier, let alone been trained by him.
-
024 - Boomer
I don't love the time-bombs - they look too much like soap bubbles - but otherwise a solid card, with Stelfreeze rendering a fair amount of personality.
-
019 - Shadowcat
With this set apparently laid out in the short 4 issue window when Excalibur was composed of just three members, it also means it's the first set to feature Kitty in her new post-puffy blue sleeves look.
-
014 - Jean Grey
Feels like maybe she should have deflected those missiles further out. 😏
I like the contrast between her somewhat sedate, demure posing and the energy depicted by the missiles and her hair.
-
005 - Jubilee
Great card, though I don't love the way it almost seems like she's missing her right arm.

Marvel Masterpieces Series 2. The 90s called, they want their villains back.

065 - Sasquatch
The tension is probably the point, but it's still weird seeing a Sasquatch card in an urban setting.

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.
-
057 - Bishop
Hey, In the Beginning blurb, they have names! Malcolm and Randall! 😏
-
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.
-
027 - Rogue
Cool idea, but Rogue's figure just seems...off.
And of course, it's "Confusingly Older Looking First Appearance" Rogue on the cardback.
-
025 - Morbius
Continuing the 90s era renaissance of 70s horror characters, Morbius continues to be a mainstay of these sets.

Card 146: Cable vs Stryfe
The purple gas cloud is weird, obscuring big chunks of the figures in awkward ways. I guess it's supposed to be time eating them?

Card 060: Cardiac
Cardiac is one of those chicken/egg 90s characters: was he a big deal & that's why he got so many cards, or do I just assume he was a big deal cuz he's on a bunch of cards?
And is there a difference?
-
Card 036: Stryfe
In really his last year as a Big Deal Character, Stryfe and his enormous cape finish out the X-Force page.
-
Card 063: Deathbird
Given she hadn't appeared in the series since before the '91 relaunch, seems like Deathbird is riding her Avengers' appearances to this card, something the cardback seems to acknowledge.
-
Card 044: Stryfe
It's worth noting that at the point these cards were out, we were already past the point of Stryfe's (brief) heyday as a major X-villain (not that anyone necessarily knew that at the time).
