  1. 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

  2. 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.

  5. 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).

  8. 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.

  9. 039 - Magneto

    One of my favorite cards in this set. An effective mix of resolute, ominous, and haggard.

  10. Card 149: Checklist A

    The all important checklist card. Part 1 of 2.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #NewBreed

  11. 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.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #NewBreed

  12. Card 147: Timber Wolf

    Hardly a rookie, but I am intrigued by this "stuck in the past and mutating" plotline.

  13. Card 146: The Ray

    Great cardfront image, and the cardback drops the big "M" word once again!

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #NewBreed

  14. Card 145: Thunderbolt

    Another "old is new" rookie. Good use of color here to make the central figure pop against a busy background.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #NewBreed

  15. 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.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #NewBreed

  16. Card 143: Eclipso

    Pulling the old Marvel Trading Card trick of passing off a new riff on an older character as a "rookie".

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #NewBreed

  17. 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.

    #TradingCardADay #DCCT #NewBreed

  18. 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.
