AustinGorton010 - Dreamkiller
Feels like a Sleepwalker villain repurposed for Darkhawk.
Not sure what the blue ponytail is adding.

Full page of Marvel Universe Series 4 X-Men cards!
Thanks to the "themed" pages in this set, this is probably the MU set with the fewest X-Men in it (even with Psylocke sneaking onto the earlier "spinoff X-Men" page).
Card 117: Bishop
All in all, a good mix of Blue and Gold team members across this page.
The X-Traitor plotline makes it into the trading card, setting up a later card in this series.
Card 116: Wolverine
For whatever reason (maybe the colors?), Wolverine fades into the background more than a lot of the other X-Men against the same background.
Card 115: Cyclops
Given what a cool and visually-engaging power he has, it's wild how few Cyclops trading cards depict him actually using his power.
Card 114: Gambit
Someone looks like they're pushing out a fart.
The trailing energy effect is pretty cool.
Card 113: Magneto
This basically just aping Jim Lee's Magneto, but it's not a bad look to ape. And isn't that mostly what Thibert was always doing at this time anyways? 😉
Card 111: Rogue
Not a big fan of the almost fearful look Rogue has on the cardfront, but the large headshot on the back is quite nice and almost makes up for it.
Card 111: Beast
Tucking the figure under the right hand border makes it another card w/a subject that feels "big".
I did not know that Did You Know fact, and am pretty sure this is the only place it's been mentioned.
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.
