  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!

  2. 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.

  5. 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.

  8. 039 - Tyler

    More fun w/Cable's vaguely-detailed backstory, this card was probably in development around the time of Cable #6-8, when we knew the character was back but before he dubbed himself Genesis and stole Wolverine's nose.

  9. 027 - Sunspot

    Capturing Sunspot's power glow-up era. Something about the domino mask on his "dark solar" face works really well, despite being functionally ridiculous.

  10. 060 - Mystique

    Back in the day, this cardback was the first time I'd seen OG Mystique. I remember being fascinated by it, the minor ways the character's look was similar to and different from what I was used to.

  11. 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.

  12. Card C-5: Obi-Wan & Yoda

    So these two can be double-billed, but the droids have to make unnamed cameos. 😏

    Scans via Trading Card Database.

  13. 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.

  14. Card 099: The fury of Storm

    And with that, the animated series subset concludes with nary a look or mention of Cyclops...

    #TradingCardADay #XM2 #XMen #XMenTAS

  15. Card 098: The claws of Wolverine

    And now what we all came for: another Wolverine card.

    #TradingCardADay #XM2 #XMen #XMenTAS

  16. Card 097: The power of Professor X

    Is it weird that all the words in the titles of these cards aren't capitalized? It feels weird. "The Power of Professor X" feels better.

    #TradingCardADay #XM2 #XMen #XMenTAS

  17. Card 096: Beast hangs out

    I guess it's cuz the cardbacks are trying to tell a cohesive narrative but it's curious Beast gets highlighted when he was backpedaled for so much of S1.

    Also, they skipped Cyclops' intro. 😢

    #TradingCardADay #XM2 #XMen #XMenTAS

  18. Card 095: Jubilee's fireworks

    The cropping on this one seems off. I suppose they were trying to highlight the eponymous fireworks, but the effect doesn't pop on the card as much & results in too much "mall" on the card.

  19. Card 093: Persuasion, Gambit-style

    Your regular reminder that the tone for animated Gambit was struck immediately in his first onscreen appearance as he shamelessly flirted w/the sales person while buying playing cards in bulk

    #TradingCardADay #XM2 #XMen #XMenTAS

  20. Card 092: The Sentinel strikes!

    As with the other cards in the set, the overall design detracts from the impact of the main image, but this does make for a striking card image.
