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.

001 - Cyclops
This set immediately corrects a wrong from previous sets by starting off with the #1 X-Man. 😀
-
024 - Empyrean
A character with a complicated power set tied directly to a specific storyline, Empyrean never really took off.
Props for teaching me a new vocab word via the name back in the day.

089 - Vulture 2099
With all due respect to Vulture 2099, he concludes the set's base cards with much more of a whimper than a bang.

083 - Nova
I like the idea of showing Nova flying out of a city vs. dropping him into a space setting. Nice zag.
-
082 - Hercules
"Take THAT dad!" Clever idea for a Hercules card.
I love the Leather Jacket Avengers, but Hercules' metal shoulder pads have never done it for me.
-
070 - Hawkeye
The cardback bio conveniently leaves out his brief detour into super-villainy before joining the Avengers.
I feel like the West Coast Avengers needed more "doing stuff around recognizable LA landmarks."
-
041 - Spider-Man 2099
Thanks to the second Spider-Verse film, this is the one 2099 character who is probably more well-known now than in 1993.
-
037 - Adam Warlock
This looks like something you could find painted on the side of a conversion van in the late 70s or early 80s - which is exactly the appropriate vibe for Adam Warlock.
-
035 - Thanos
Great Thanos - the smirk really sells it. Now a member of the Infinity Watch!
Also love pre-thicc, randomly-shoved-into-Iron Man Thanos on the back.

Card 123: Skrull
I like how Morgan leans into the Skrulls' sneering, googly-eyed vibe.
Big Iron Fist retcon shoutout in the Did You Know fact!
-
Card 122: Asgardians
An intensely busy card, which actually works to its advantage, making it feel full & intricate.
Love that 1/3 of the Warriors Three gets called out.

Marvel Universe Series 4 Page 11: The #Avengers from #RonFrenz & #TomPalmer, in all their leather jacket glory!

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.
#TradingCardADay #MU4 #Avengers #RonFrenz #TomPalmer #CaptainAmerica
-
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.
-
Card 081: Klaw
Nice to see another classic baddie, with his first trading card to boot!
Still a shame we never got a "pink guy" version of Klaw in the MCU.

Card 071: Tiger Shark
Love when old school characters like this sneak into these sets.
I like how it almost looks like Tiger Shark is scared of the splashing water.

-
Card 070: Namor
Like DD, too big a character to be left out, too small to carry his own page.
I get wanting to get "Sub-Mariner" in at a time when his book was titled "Namor" but "DYK this character's codename?" cracks me up
