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!

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.
-
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).
-
132 - Mesmero
Having a new villain kill an old one to establish their bonafides is an old trick, but it must sting to be offed to make the Dark Riders cool - especially when their best days were already behind them.

131 - Sebastian Shaw
One of the fun things about these In Memoriam cards in hindsight is knowing how soon after the cards came out the dead characters would return - Shaw'll be back within a year.
-
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?
-
129 - Cypher
Poor dead Doug (another great card).
-
128 - Warlock
What a great card. To have Sienkiewicz working on this set and NOT have him do the Warlock card would have been a crime.
-
127 - Magik
New category: Deceased (I'm tagging it as #InMemoriam). It's mostly New Mutants & villains.
I appreciate the cardback text saying "reverted" and not the redundant "reverted back", one of my biggest grammatical pet peeves.

-
093 - Forearm
I really dig this card. Something about the old school "put up your dukes!" boxing pose. Plus the cardback basically being like, "Power: has four arms."
-
Maverick trading cards!
X-Men Series 1, Fleer Ultra X-Men Series 1 and 2, and Fleer Ultra X-Men Chromium.
Which one is your favorite?

081 - Brood
A relatively action-oriented image relative to most of Sienkiewicz's other contributions to this set. I like that he chose to highlight their flying ability, which tends to get overlooked (and makes them even creepier).
-
074 - Mojo
I don't know if an extreme closeup on Mojo's face is the best way to capture his character, but at least it's an exceedingly well-done extreme closeup from Sienkiewicz, who may well be this set's stealth MVP.
-

063 - Sauron
Another Sienkiewicz stunner; really captures how freaky it would be to encounter a pterodactyl man.

-
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.

044 - Mirage
The mystery of whether the MLF's Moonstar was actually Dani...Moonstar...never seemed that mysterious, but this card seems to exist just to tease it.
But it does give us Sienkiewicz on another former New Mutant!
-
043 - Weapon X (Wolverine)
For the first time since the first Marvel Universe set, Wolverine gets more than one dedicated card.

033 - Wolfsbane
Back-to-back Sienkiewicz! Not a character he co-created, but another old New Mutant friend.
-
032 - Strong Guy
Check out those tiny little legs! Really underscores how distorted his upper body strength is.
Always fun to see a character's co-creator do their trading card.
-
030 - Polaris
This card is 1000 times sexier than any image of Polaris in the "sexy" gold costume she adopted around this time.
-
021 - Cable
Fantastic card. Love seeing Sienkiewicz doing one of the "later" New Mutants.
This set briefly tries to make Six Pack happen, so Cable gets two Group Affiliations (Domino was flagged as Six Pack too).

-
017 - Nightcrawler
Perfect match of subject, approach & artist. Depicting Nightcrawler coming out of a teleport is clever & Sienkiewicz's abstract style creates the impression of a figure materializing from nowhere.
-
007 - Psylocke
Bill Sienkiewicz with his first card of the set. Sadly, it's not the greatest Psylocke card.
-
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."
