The Marvel Universe Series II Hologram Cards (unlike Series I) featured artwork that was different from the feature character's regular card.ĭuring this year, there were 205 trading cards including the traditional five Holograms. Weapons gave a statistical look at weaponry such as Spider-Man's Web Shooters, Wolverine's Claws, Daredevils Billy Club and the Ultimate Nullifier. Legends paid tribute to characters that had died such as Kraven the Hunter or Bucky. These one time only categories were Legends and Weapons. Instead, two new categories were introduced, but would not appear again in the future. The Famous Battle category was now renamed Arch-Enemies, to highlight particular rivalries as opposed to single confrontations. Later, these explanation were simply printed on the inside of the wrapper in which the cards were packaged. Series II also included three trading cards explaining what each rating meant. Each attribute, such as Speed, Stamina, Intelligence, Strength, Agility and Durability was rated for each character on a scale of 1 through 7. In this series, win–loss records were removed in favor of having Power Ratings. Once again there were 167 cards in total of this set, including five Holograms. The following year, Marvel followed up with Series II. For example, Spider-Man has three cards under the Super Hero category (Cosmic Spider-Man, his Symbiote Costume and the Classic Spider-Man). In Series I, unique to this series, characters could have multiple cards in the same category. Other categories in the series included Super Heroes, Super Villains, Rookies, Famous Battle, Most Valuable Comics and Team Pictures. This is also the only series that offered nicknames, win–loss records, and a trading card of Stan Lee. Strange, Iron Man, Wolverine and Spider-Man. In these cards, Spider-Man would conduct a humorous interview with other characters in the Marvel Universe, such as Doctor Doom, Doctor Octopus, the Hulk, Silver Surfer, Thor, the Punisher, Magneto, Captain America, Dr. Such features were the 12 "Spider-Man Presents:" cards. This series offered several things that future series would not include. On the front of each card in the 1990 series, a character or event was featured.
Two years later, Impel negotiated with DC Comics to publish DC Cosmic Cards. The cards featured categories such as Super Heroes, Super Villains, Rookies, Famous Battles and Team Pictures. The first series was published by Impel in 1990. Marvel Universe Cards are collectible trading cards based on the characters and events of the Marvel Universe.
