Here's the full page of the 2099 red foil inserts!
I think the background is meant to be some kind of tiered cityscape like the New Warriors cards, but the red foil effect makes it all much more abstract.
Card H-IV: Spider-Man vs Venom
The last card of the set, a hologram chase card that came in three different colors and was inserted at a rate of 1 in every 180 packs.
Card 9-2099: Tiger Wylde
Did any letter get more of a boost in the 90s than "Y"?
I like how this guy's head looks like someone stuffed a tiger into one of those metal condom helmets that were all the rage back then.
Card 8-2099: Dethstryk
What a delightful slice of the 90s.
Name that jams two cool sounding words together? Check. Deliberate misspelling of those words? Check. Silver armor but has a cape? Check. Random weapon? Check.
Card 7-2099: Specialist
What a bland, generic codename.
For all that the 2099 books missed in its depiction of the future, making the central villain of the imprint a corporation only grows more prescient with time.
Card 6-2099: Punisher 2099
For all the other issues baked into the character's concept, it's a simple origin that's easy to reuse. "Here's another guy pissed off his family was murdered, but in the future!"
Card 5-2099: Spider=Man 2099
The arguable star of the 2099 imprint appropriately nabs center square.
Card 4-2099: Fearmaster
I have no idea who this is. Future Gangster, apparently.
Card 3-2099: Ravage 2099
Purportedly Stan Lee's last original creation for Marvel, and the only 2099 launch character that is not a future version of an existing character.
