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).

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.
-
027 - X-Treme
Seems apt that this is the last card of the "set."
Nary a hint of "Adam X" to be found!

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

086 - Crystal
Probably would have been too on the nose, but putting a little campfire on the rock to have all four elements featured could have been cute.
Can you spot the typo on the cardback?
-
078 - Night Thrasher
Honestly, Bret Blevins might be the stealth MVP of this set.

068 - Typhoid Mary
A little mini run of Daredevil-related femme fatales.
Blevins really giving those eyebrows his all.
-
063 - Scorpion
Another fun card from Blevins, doing some good work with perspective.
I like that "wasp" and "scorpion" are next to each other.
-
054 - Omega Red
More Blevins, more 90s Wolverine villain glow-ups!
Did Omega Red ever end up in a story w/Cap, given Omega Red was supposed to be the Soviet Captain America at one point?

048 - Rhino
Very cool that we get some fully painted Bret Blevins stuff in this set.
Hasn't Rhino's suit always been stuck on him, not just "in the beginning"?
-
024 - Psylocke
I believe this might be the first Psylocke card to reflect the Kwannon retcon in its cardback text.
Also, another card featuring a panel from something other than the character's first appearance on the back.

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 058: Hobgoblin
I like the One Sentence Origin being both accurate but also leaving out, like, a lot when it comes to the Hobgoblin Saga.
