S5 - Serpentina

AKA Future Thunderbird (cuz she died early on)

I'm honestly surprised Moore kept Serpentina dead.

S4 - Metalhead

AKA Future Colossus

Metalhead's eventual transformation into a melty metal man blew my young mind far more than Serpentina's earlier death did.

S3 - Krystalin

AKA Future Storm, Kinda

Despite my "AKA" bit, one of the interesting things about X-Men 2099 is that a lot of them don't map neatly onto a "present day" X-Men analog; Krystalin is a good example of that.

(Sorry Iceman, you don't get a card in this set).

Which card is your favorite?

S2 - Cerebra

AKA Future Jean Grey

What are the odds Grant Morrison was aware of this character when they debuted the souped version of Cerebro of the same name?

S1 - Meanstreak

AKA Future Quicksilver (w/a little Gambit)

Continuing this series' embrace of the 2099 universe, the chase cards are devoted to X-Men 2099

They are also all "Dyna-Etch" cards, featuring a metallic foil treatment

089 - Vulture 2099

With all due respect to Vulture 2099, he concludes the set's base cards with much more of a whimper than a bang.

088 - Terrax

Fabry does Terrax justice, but the awkward framing of the card (cutting off the top of his weapon) makes it look like Terrax is about to axe himself in the head.

087 - Drax

I've always had a soft spot for the short-lived "Jim Starlin-drawn First Appearance Drax" look, when he's much more just a green dude w/a cape and severe Widow's Peak.
