142 - Wolverine vs. Spider-Man
Commemorating that one-shot that effed up the Hobgoblin story!
I appreciate that this is set in a graveyard; Lawlis did his homework.

141 - Wolverine vs. the Thing
As someone who wasn't reading FF much at the time, trading cards of this era did a GREAT job of making me think the story where Wolverine slashed Thing's face was a HUGE DEAL.

140 - Wolverine vs. Hulk
One of my favorite of the "Wolverine Vs." cards - both for the visual heft of the figures and for featuring Wolverine's whisker mask!

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?
-
058 - Juggernaut
Not the most dynamic of Juggernaut cards, but there's still a good sense of movement and a pleasant "solidness" to the figure that works well.
-
049 - G.W Bridge
In terms of names that are puns, "George Washington Bridge" is a first ballot Hall of Famer.

X-Men Blue Team highlights from Fleer Ultra X-Men Series 1!

006 - Wolverine
The way his bio is vague about the loss of adamantium makes me assume it was written before "Fatal Attractions" and makes me wonder if the writer even knew the details of the story beyond "radical changes."

OG Defenders...uh, defend!

X-Men Gold! Which card is your favorite?

088 - Terrax
Fabry does Terrax justice, but the awkward framing of the card (cutting off the top of his weapon) makes it look like Terrax is about to axe himself in the head.
-
047 - Annihilus
Ah! Space Dracula!
I have to assume we eventually learned the origin of the ship from which he crafted his control rod, and it was like a
Celestial or Kree ship or something, right?
-
021 - Doctor Doom
I'm a sucker for the "zoomed in closeup" trading card shot, but something about Doom's nose here throws the whole thing off. It seems disproportionately small.

-
010 - Storm
Another weird Kaluta card I've never loved; not sure what wolves and...rat people? Maybe Spidey villain Vermin? have to do with Storm.
-
008 - Doctor Strange
A much better subject for Kaluta's more representative approach.
Secret Defenders shout out!
-
005 - Spider-Man
I like the sort of representational idea behind this card, but it's never been one of my favorite Spider-Man cards. Spidey is so visually iconic he should easily pop, but the spider legs are too distracting.
-
Card C-5: Obi-Wan & Yoda
So these two can be double-billed, but the droids have to make unnamed cameos. 😏

Card #006: Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi
Obi-Wan? Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time...a long time...
People give Obi-Wan crap for not changing Luke's last name, but it's not like he changed his own, either.
-
Card 143: The Secret of Spider-Man's Parents
A 90s mystery masquerading as a Silver Age one. Which I'm sure will end well and not be a lead-in to a tortured saga involving clones...
-
Card 142: The Sixth Member of the Infinity Watch
Even moreso than the X-Men stuff, this is pretty 90s. I'm pretty sure it turned out to be Thanos?

Try this again...
Card 141: The Face of Doctor Doom
A rare "mystery" dating to the Silver Age.
There's two cards in this subset about someone's face, which isn't a lot, but also, seems like a lot, you know?

Card 137: The Origin of Cable
Things I love about this card:
1. It's another mystery that's basically "who dis?"
2. It gets solved relatively soon.
3. Lil' Cable.
4. #GeorgePerez drawing characters like Grizzly & Askani. -
Card 139: The Origin of Ghost Rider
Another "origin" mystery!
I forget how this one shook out, but I'm pretty sure it leads to Dan Ketch & Johnny Blaze being brothers, and that always seemed really dumb to me.

Card 138: The Face of Darkhawk
tl;dr version of cardback text: [shrug emoji], whatever you want it to be!
