AustinGorton054 - Omega Red
More Blevins, more 90s Wolverine villain glow-ups!
Did Omega Red ever end up in a story w/Cap, given Omega Red was supposed to be the Soviet Captain America at one point?

053 - Cyber
Cyber's initial glow-up continues! Jusko puts a lot into the curled, sneering expression that really captures his whole vibe.
052 - Longshot
Like the construction of this one, the sense of movement & narrative created by leaping over the Mojo statute.
051 - Polaris
Rocking the much-improved version of her brief Quesada-designed "sexy" costume. The capitol in the background is a nice touch, too.
Her OG mask/headband always makes me think she has a shamrock on her face.
050 - Cannonball
Another standout of the set. Dynamic perspective & phenomenal coloring work in the different shades of the blastin' effect.
It's kinda odd Sam's brief history w/the Hellfire Club doesn't come up more.
049 - Puma
I'm a sucker for these kind of "top-down" perspective cards.
Also, every time I read the word "puma", I read it like Principal Skinner pronounces it ("pew-mah").
048 - Rhino
Very cool that we get some fully painted Bret Blevins stuff in this set.
Hasn't Rhino's suit always been stuck on him, not just "in the beginning"?
047 - Annihilus
Ah! Space Dracula!
I have to assume we eventually learned the origin of the ship from which he crafted his control rod, and it was like a
Celestial or Kree ship or something, right?
046 - Domino
Domion's stance & the drape of her arm creates a great sense of exasperation, like she's sick of babysitting horned up 20-somethings.
The back panel image is technically Copycat (as the factoid suggests).
