Card 087: Terror, Inc.

Truly one of the oddest characters to get a trading card - or really, a comic book in the first place. Def in the running for "most of the moment" character in the set as well.

Card 086: Nomad

Nomad is a great example of a character who seems like a much bigger deal than he is based on his trading card appearances.

Origin: Is also a Captain America.

Card 085: Hardcore

One of the downsides of the mixed hero/villain approach in this set is that the villains tend to get crowded out; it doesn't help that the few villain spots get handed out to these flavors of the week.

Card 084: Falcon

Another character sporting a brief new look, as well as another one sort of off on his own at this time.

I guess that origin is as good or better than "likes bird."

Card 083: Punisher

Nice little action shot (the foot over the name adds some dimension), though the figure gets a little overwhelmed by the spillover elements from the other cards.

Card 082: She-Hulk

New page - Street Heroes? Miscellaneous?

Whatever it is, with She-Hulk between teams in '93, she ends up here.

The full 90s-riffic Fantastic Four page! Working Four Freedoms Plaza into the background is a nice touch.

Card 081: Klaw

Nice to see another classic baddie, with his first trading card to boot!

Still a shame we never got a "pink guy" version of Klaw in the MCU.

Card 080: Thing

What is the MOST 90s:

1. Mr. Fantastic's pouch vest
2. Invisible Woman's 4-shaped boob window
3. Thing's metal mask

Card 079: Doctor Doom

Doom!

This is another "lower row bust shot" card, though Manley manages to make it a bit more dynamic by getting both arms in doing a little action.

Card 078: Molecule Man

Here's a classic FF baddie! It's always nice when a character like this, with a long history, also gets a story in the 90s to ride into a trading card appearance.

Card 077: Occulus

We all remember classic FF baddie, Occulus, right? The man with a gemstone for an eye?

Card 076: Lyja

AKA the former Mrs. Human Torch, making this the fourth card in a row with a familial DYK fact (though this one is more understandable).

Those with a better eye than I - are these #PaulRyan cards?

Card 075: Human Torch

Guest-starring Mr. Fantastic's left fist.

These DYK facts are getting a little copy/paste-y.

Card 074: Invisible Woman

90s FF continues with Boob Window Invisible Window!

I won't gatekeep the DYK fact, but with Reed & Sue's cards coming back to back, we basically get the same one twice.

The full page 8, featuring the Avengers West Coast & Namor!

Both Tiger Shark & US Agent's cards work better in this context. Love Splice just hanging in mid-air.

Card 073: Mr. Fantastic

New page: Fantastic Four!

Get ready for a VERY 90s FF, starting with "pouchy utility vest" Reed!

Card 072: US Agent

Love the facial expression, don't love that it looks like he's peeking around the corner of the card, with half his body obscured.

Card 071: Tiger Shark

Love when old school characters like this sneak into these sets.

I like how it almost looks like Tiger Shark is scared of the splashing water.

Card 070: Namor

Like DD, too big a character to be left out, too small to carry his own page.

I get wanting to get "Sub-Mariner" in at a time when his book was titled "Namor" but "DYK this character's codename?" cracks me up
