Comic fans who came of age in the '90s can all agree on one thing: trading cards were a big deal.

Independent of the comics that inspired them, superhero trading cards became massively popular in their own right as fans young and old tried to track down every card from every set. Companies like Impel, Fleer and Skybox turning out set after set in the '90s, with Marvel's sets - which were packed with original art and inventive stats - remaining insanely memorable.While the comic trading card game has faded considerably, Marvel's sets still evoke a major sense of nostalgia for generations of comic book fans, serving as a literal snapshot of a period in Marvel's history. That's why we want to revisit the series that started the trend - 1990's Marvel Universe Series I.

These are the cards with the flashiest art, the kookiest stats, the most random characters and the weirdest costumes. As hot as might be right now thanks to his Netflix series and role in the 2017's Power Man was definitely an obscure choice back when this card came out in 1990. Cage has been a mainstay of the Marvel Universe for the last 10 years thanks to Brian Michael Bendis drafting him to the Avengers, but the character spent big chunks of the '80s and '90s languishing in limbo. At this point in his history, Cage hadn't been seen since his series 'Power Man and Iron Fist' ended in 1986. His next solo series, simply titled 'Cage,' wouldn't arrive for another two years.

Yet here's Luke in an early Mark Bagley illustration, in all of his badass blouse and tiara glory. 'Look, up in the sky! It's a plane!

It is not necessary to type the extension of the file. One of the files ending in.EXE or.COM or.BAT will start the game. For example: INDY.EXE would become 'indy' and then you press enter to start the game. DosGod 2017-08-15 0 pointType 'Dir' to view the files available. The incredible machine game.

It's - Superman! No, wait, it's Spider-Man?' Yep the wall-crawler briefly earned the ability to fly along with a bunch of other cosmic powers thanks to the Enigma Force. The 1990 series wasn't content to just turn out one card per hero like later sets; instead, alternate versions of some heroes scored cards of their own - including Cosmic Spider-Man.

This card was also depicting incredibly recent events as Spider-Man gained a cosmic upgrade in December 1989's 'Spectacular Spider-Man' #158. And the back of the card shows you what his Patch disguise consisted of: an eye patch. Nope, he didn't cover up that incredibly distinctive haircut nor did he shave those attention-grabbing sideburns. Just an eye patch, please. The card also lists Roughhouse as one of his arch-enemies, which is a name that only readers of the late '80s 'Wolverine' series will be familiar with; the guy's popped up in under 10 issues in the last 25 years. It's also worth pointing out that the card slaps a vague age on Logan. She-Hulk's stats also take on the irreverent tone of her fourth-wall breaking early '90s ongoing series.

When asked about her arch-enemies, the card kinda shrugs and offers up 'None of her enemies have been villainous enough to qualify as 'arch.' ' There's also the nickname of 'Big Green Mama,' which is definitely not a moniker that has stuck with her into the 21st century (if, in fact, it was ever used to begin with). And that 'Did You Know' bit is equally charming; instead of diving into a hidden aspect of Jen's origin, the blurb just boasts about her sweet ride. And this right here is why Punisher is on this list. Just look at that 'win percentage'! Aside from some 'rookie' heroes with under a dozen battles to their name, Punisher's percentage is the highest of any hero in the set.

This is probably because, unlike pretty much every other hero on the list, Punisher tends to win his battle, um, definitively. As in, with a hail of bullets. Still, an 89% puts him way higher than Wolverine. It's also worth pointing out that Marvel editor Tom Brevoort, who had a hand in writing these stats, has said that 8 Storm.

A look at Galactus' stats reveals that he's the Punisher's villainous doppelganger. Yep, at 69%, Galactus' (admittedly not reflective of the stories themselves) 'win percentage' easily outdoes every other super-villain in the set. When you're a massive, planet-eating force of nature, you're not that easy to take down. And since super-heroes always win, that means that every villain - other than Galactus - doesn't have much down in the win column. The other eye-catching stat here, though, is 'planets devoured.' That's the super-villain equivalent of Aunt May's 'meals served,' and it is excellent! First there's the 'Other Names' section, which lists the always fun to say 'Beelzebub.'

It also lists 'The Devil,' which is a name that's delightfully contradicted by some quasi-legalese speak in the 'Did You Know' box.Although thought by many to be the same being as the Biblical Devil, Mephisto is not, and makes no such claimJust add a 'your honor' to the end of that sentence. There's also the curious case of the 'Battles Fought' stat, which only counts Mephisto's throwdowns from the last decade - and that's a huge number! Lastly, Mephisto, you gotta work on upping that 'Dimensions Controlled' number. The back of the card gives a rundown of the issue's synopsis, completely leaving out the two back-up tales in this iconic issue (one about a guy that escapes a volcanic island by ringing a bell, and another about a vengeful mummy fighting a bank robber).

Of all the cards in this subset, 'Amazing Fantasy' #15 is listed as being the most valuable. Of course 'Amazing Fantasy' #15 has since shot up in value. Lists it as being worth around $260,000. And no, that's not just because of inflation. Turns out the first appearance of one of the most iconic superheroes is a sound investment!

Move or die game demo play. Blow BackYou can quickly inflate your Joe and bump into opponents to fling them across the screen. Falling BlocksJust as the title says, there are death tiles falling from the ceiling, touching one of these tiles results in insta-death! The more you inflate, the more powerful the explosion is. Throw your enemies into death tiles and be the last one alive!.

So here's the deal with the X-Men: this 1990 series was released at a time when there were no X-Men. Yes, was still a monthly title, but the team dissolved in late 1989. 'Uncanny' evolved into an anthology title following the disparate storylines of characters that had been X-Men just a year earlier. So this lineup right here? It never existed.

Banshee and Forge were traveling the world together looking for the X-Men; Storm and Gambit were partners in crime; Wolverine, Jubilee and Psylocke were kicking ass in Madripoor; Rogue was chilling in the Savage Land; and Havok and Strong Guy just. Weren't around. Some of these characters (Banshee, Storm, Jubilee, Wolverine, Gambit, Psylocke and Forge) would come together to form a lineup of the team around the time this set was released. Others, not so much. Confusing matters even more is the fact that Strong Guy, who is clearly on the front of the card, is listed as the Morlock 'Sunder' in the 'Team Members' section.

This isn't the only time Strong Guy and Sunder were erroneously linked by a trading card; Strong Guy's 1992 Marvel Masterpieces card displays Sunder's first cover appearance as his first cover appearance. Still, this card is a curiosity, as it shows a roster that never happened, thus making us wonder if it was supposed to happen and writer changed his mind. 2 Spider-Man Presents: Silver Surfer. As this was the first ever Marvel trading card series featuring original art, a lot of this series was trial and error. Why not make trading cards that are basically just comic book panels?

This is a comic book trading card set, after all. That's the thought process behind the 'Spider-Man Presents' category, which features a few comic strip gags between Spidey and a number of Marvel characters (ranging from Doctor Doom to and Magneto). This is the only time cards like these would be included in any Marvel set, as future collections would focus more on heroes, villains, teams and battles. Come to think of it, how has the codename Mr. Marvel gone unused in over 75 years of Marvel Comics?

It's right there and it makes total sense! Maybe that's because is actually the Marvel Universe's Mr. Marvel, and there can be only one. The Marvel Universe Series I set closes out with a tribute card to one of the brains behind the Marvel U, Stan Lee. The illustration features Stan composed of the disparate parts of a number of Marvel heroes, ranging from and Spider-Man to Silver Surfer and Doctor Strange. His four fingers are even the four members of the Fantastic Four.

The big question, though, is. Is that Howard the Duck's hat? Similar to the Aunt May card, Stan Lee's card ditches the 'battle' stats and goes for the funny. 'Comics Written' and 'No-Prizes awarded' appear instead, and he even gets a 'Favorite sayings' section - which is a section that plenty of superheroes could have had, too. It's also worth noting that of all the major Marvel sets of the '90s, this is the only card dedicated to a creator as opposed to a character.That's our look at 1990's Marvel Universe Series I.
