  1. 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!

  4. 139 - Wolverine vs. Omega Red

    Design-wise, going landscape for these "vs." cards makes sense, but I don't love how the card name stays in the same spot as if the image was portrait oriented.

  7. 138 - Wolverine vs. Cyber

    Cracking these packs as a kid, I didn't realize just how many Marvel greats worked on this set. We've had John Romita Sr., Bill Sienkiewicz, and now Mike Zeck.

  10. 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.

  11. 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

    #TradingCardADay #XMen #FUXM1 #InMemoriam #JamesSullivan

  12. 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.

    #TradingCardADay #XMen #FUXM1 #InMemoriam #RayLago

  13. 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).

    #TradingCardADay #XMen #FUXM1 #InMemoriam #ChrisMoeller

  14. 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.

    #TradingCardADay #XMen #FUXM1 #InMemoriam #FrankCirroco

  15. 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.

    #TradingCardADay #XMen #FUXM1 #InMemoriam #MarkChiarello

  16. 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?

    #TradingCardADay #XMen #FUXM1 #InMemoriam #GlennFabry

  17. 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.

    #TradingCardADay #XMen #FUXM1 #InMemoriam #BillSienkiewicz

  18. 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.

  19. 049 - G.W Bridge

    In terms of names that are puns, "George Washington Bridge" is a first ballot Hall of Famer.

    #TradingCardADay #FUXM1 #XMen #SixPack #SHIELD #DanBrereton

  20. 017 - Phalanx

    No relation to the similarly-named X-Men crossover a year later.

    "Dick Johnson" heh.

  21. Marvel Masterpieces Series 2 #FantasticFour!

    (With Reed and Sue sitting this series out, we're getting flexible with the definition),

    Which card is YOUR favorite?

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

    Which card is your favorite?

    #TradingCardADay #MM2 #XMen #JoeJusko #BretBlevins #Stryfe #Cyber #OmegaRed #Deadpool

  23. S8 - Xi'an

    AKA Future Professor X

    All jokes aside, I have always appreciated that the X-Men 2099 Professor X figure - the one around whom the X-Men gravitate - isn't a telepath.

  24. S7 - Skullfire

    AKA Future Cyclops/Havok

    More or less the POV character of X-Men 2099, Tim is also a first ballot honoree in the "Ron Lim Hands" Hall of Fame.

  25. S6 - Bloodhawk

    AKA Future AngelWolverine

    The "In the Year 2099" fact could really read "In the Year 2026", amiright?

  26. S5 - Serpentina

    AKA Future Thunderbird (cuz she died early on)

    I'm honestly surprised Moore kept Serpentina dead.

    #TradingCardADay #MM2 #XMen #XMen2099 #BobLarkin

  27. S4 - Metalhead

    AKA Future Colossus

    Metalhead's eventual transformation into a melty metal man blew my young mind far more than Serpentina's earlier death did.

  28. S3 - Krystalin

    AKA Future Storm, Kinda

    Despite my "AKA" bit, one of the interesting things about X-Men 2099 is that a lot of them don't map neatly onto a "present day" X-Men analog; Krystalin is a good example of that.

  29. Marvel Masterpieces Series 2 original X-Men!

    (Sorry Iceman, you don't get a card in this set).

    Which card is your favorite?

    #TradingCardADay #MM2 #XMen #JoePhillips #GeorgePerez #CarlPotts

  30. S2 - Cerebra

    AKA Future Jean Grey

    What are the odds Grant Morrison was aware of this character when they debuted the souped version of Cerebro of the same name?

  31. S1 - Meanstreak

    AKA Future Quicksilver (w/a little Gambit)

    Continuing this series' embrace of the 2099 universe, the chase cards are devoted to X-Men 2099

    They are also all "Dyna-Etch" cards, featuring a metallic foil treatment

  32. 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.

    #TradingCardADay #MM2 #Vulture2099 #SpiderMan2099 #KentWilliams

  33. 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.

    #TradingCardADay #MM2 #Terrax #FantasticFour #GlennFabry

  34. 087 - Drax

    I've always had a soft spot for the short-lived "Jim Starlin-drawn First Appearance Drax" look, when he's much more just a green dude w/a cape and severe Widow's Peak.

    #TradingCardADay #MM2 #Drax #InfinityWatch #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy #LouHarrison

  35. 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?
