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).

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.

039 - Magneto
One of my favorite cards in this set. An effective mix of resolute, ominous, and haggard.
-
Card 149: Checklist A
The all important checklist card. Part 1 of 2.
-
Card 148: Valor
Mon-El! A character with a deeper film/TV CV than many other more recognizable DC characters! He does have a better claim to being a rookie, having been more or less relaunched prior to this set.
-
Card 147: Timber Wolf
Hardly a rookie, but I am intrigued by this "stuck in the past and mutating" plotline.
-
Card 146: The Ray
Great cardfront image, and the cardback drops the big "M" word once again!
-
Card 145: Thunderbolt
Another "old is new" rookie. Good use of color here to make the central figure pop against a busy background.
-
Card 144: Heckler
Here's someone I've legit never heard of before. Almost seems DC's Darkhawk or Sleepwalker, a new character who debuts in the first issue of their own series in the early 90s.
-
Card 143: Eclipso
Pulling the old Marvel Trading Card trick of passing off a new riff on an older character as a "rookie".
-
Card 142: Darkstar
I'm sure this character and his backstory will lead to a solution for Donna Troy's post-Crisis existence that is both effective and lasting.
-
Card 141: Agent Liberty
New category: New Breed, which is, I believe, this set's take on "rookie cards".
The all-black background is striking; I'm surprised we haven't seen it used before this.
