A Guy With Some Marvel Cards

I bought some Marvel Trading Cards on eBay.

Now I'm opening them.

  • Of all of Professor X’s various conveyances I always liked this hover chair the best. It reminds me of the Jim Lee era as well as the cartoon that was a staple of every young X-fan’s nostalgic life-quilt. 
But what the hell is with 90s Marvel’s obsession with the white suit jacket? Red Skull, Professor X, The Kingpin… All wearing white jackets and looking like they should be staffing The Love Boat. 
Hang on… I have to go write my Marvel/Love Boat fanfic.

  • A super hero on crutches. Really. Look, I’m not here to mock the handicapped (because I’m a dick, but I’m not THAT much of a dick), but I have some issues with Ms. Silhouette Chord (yes… her super hero code name is her own first name).
This ALMOST makes sense if she has some sort of flying, levitating, or anti-gravity powers, but she doesn’t. She travels through shadows… slowly I assume.
Additionally, the stats on the back of the card declare that this second string New Warrior (and we’ll get into how pathetically low on the ladder of prestige that actually is some other time, but when you’re looking UP to Speedball and Night Thrasher you should take a long hard look at your life) has a “Fighting Ability” of 6 which makes her a “master of several forms of combat”. I can only assume that none of those forms involve kicking.
