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.

Fleer Ultra X-Men Series 1 combined Excalibur triptych

123 - Excalibur Part 3
I appreciate that Feron's cloud head is on Rachel's card. Poor Micromax doesn't make the cloud head cut (he does at least get name checked on the card back).

122 - Excalibur Part 2
I messed up yesterday & jumped from X-Men Blue to Excalibur, but I'll finish out the triptych then go back.
It's too bad Widget couldn't make it onto Kitty's card since, you know, it's her.

115 - Excalibur Part 1
Thanks to the fact that Excalibur at the time was only three members, this triptych basically serves as second cards for those members - w/past team members in the background as heads-in-clouds.

019 - Shadowcat
With this set apparently laid out in the short 4 issue window when Excalibur was composed of just three members, it also means it's the first set to feature Kitty in her new post-puffy blue sleeves look.
-
018 - Phoenix
On her way out the door for a solid chunk of years, Rachel gets one of her better trading card depictions. The look of serenity on her face is a nice touch.
-
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.
-
027 - X-Treme
Seems apt that this is the last card of the "set."
Nary a hint of "Adam X" to be found!

026 - Tracer
This might be the most generic-looking character of all these, which is saying something.

019 - Khaos
Fun fact: writer Evan Skolnick repurposed this character from Dungeon & Dragons campaigns he played in high school & college.

-
066 - Black Widow
Good use of shadow and light, with an almost retro-modernist Bruce Timm/Darwyn Cooke style.
Are you Team Short Hair or Team Long Hair for Black Widow?
-
050 - Cannonball
Another standout of the set. Dynamic perspective & phenomenal coloring work in the different shades of the blastin' effect.
It's kinda odd Sam's brief history w/the Hellfire Club doesn't come up more.
-
016 - Archangel
Curiously, neither his first appearance as Angel nor Archangel is cited on the cardback; rather it's randomly the 5th issue of X-Men.
-
Card C-5: Obi-Wan & Yoda
So these two can be double-billed, but the droids have to make unnamed cameos. 😏

Card #006: Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi
Obi-Wan? Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time...a long time...
People give Obi-Wan crap for not changing Luke's last name, but it's not like he changed his own, either.

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 110: Archangel
His wings get clipped (high oh!) by the nine panel grid, but I do like how his body extends past the bottom border. In general,
Thibert does a good job making these figures feel bigger on the card.

Card 060: Cardiac
Cardiac is one of those chicken/egg 90s characters: was he a big deal & that's why he got so many cards, or do I just assume he was a big deal cuz he's on a bunch of cards?
And is there a difference?
-
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.
-
Card 095: White Queen
In a set w/no shortage of sex appeal, this is probably the most cheesecake-y card of them all. It's a great piece, as much for the intricate background as the figure work.
