005 - Jubilee

Great card, though I don't love the way it almost seems like she's missing her right arm.

001 - Cyclops

This set immediately corrects a wrong from previous sets by starting off with the #1 X-Man. 😀

007 - Psylocke

Bill Sienkiewicz with his first card of the set. Sadly, it's not the greatest Psylocke card.

002 - Rogue

In lieu of the classic bar graph stats, this set adopts a "Mutant Power Profile" featuring a partial wireframe (SO hot at the time) recreation of the cardfront image w/notes detailing the powers.

For the first time since the first Marvel Universe set, Wolverine gets more than one dedicated card.

008 - Revanche

Nothing says "1994 X-Men" quite like this capture of the small sliver of time in which Kwannon-in-Betsy's-body was a de facto member of the team using a French (for some reason) codename.

003 - Beast

Frontrunner for "Best Beast Trading Card."

In addition to adopting the thicker cardstock, glossy finishes & foil embellishments of Marvel Masterpieces, all the cards in this set are fully painted.

The #XMenMarchMadness #SweetSixteen marches on!

Today, one Summers brother faces off against a "hey, he has red eyes, maybe HE'S a Summers Brother!" brother, as Gambit (2) and Cyclops (7) battle it out!

Beast from X-Men I’ve been working on. Clearly Rob Liefeld was NOT my favorite 90’s comic artist! 🤣🤣🤣 (Though he does have a cool style.)

Card 044: Psylocke

Apparently they needed to make room on the upcoming X-Men page so Psylocke got punted to here on the grounds of her relationship with Captain Britain.

"Genetically altered by ninjas" is this card's version of Havok's "amnesia."

004 - Gambit

Gambit looks like he's nailing a power chord in the middle of an arena show.

This set also credits each artist, something I, someone who likes to credit artists but sucks at recognizing their styles, appreciates.

Happy X-Men day! I did this old sketch during the time that the time displaced original X team became X-Men Blue. I was a real big fan of the Blue costume designs.

015 - Sabretooth

Fantastic card. Love the "shredding" effect and just "Claws" as a power.

That said, feels like the bio should offer some context as to why he's listed as as an X-Man (esp. since that's not quite true).

006 - Wolverine

The way his bio is vague about the loss of adamantium makes me assume it was written before "Fatal Attractions" and makes me wonder if the writer even knew the details of the story beyond "radical changes."

112 - X-Men: Blue Team Part 2

For whatever reason, it feels like we didn't get Beast and Gambit paired up much during the Blue/Gold Era.

Love the little twirling motion of the card in Gambit's hand.
