Hey there- Back in 1995, I co-created the WildStorms CCG for Jim Lee. It adapted the WS books into a player-vs-player trading card game format. Sold pretty well but after 1996, not long after I parted ways with the studio, the game went out of production. But some guys who liked the game kept that spark alive and one now makes custom cards based on all sorts of characters. I asked him to make some for me and I'll post a few, if you like.

To give some sense of the numbers here:
the top stats are Close Combat (fists, swords, axes, etc.), Ranged Combat (guns, blasters, bow and arrow, etc.) and Defense (toughness, armor, etc.).
A normal person would be about a 2 in each of those.
A well-trained fighter would probably hit C5 and D4, without any enhancements.
Captain America is a C8 and D8 with his shield.
Dark Guardian's energy blast can knock down Ben Grimm (who has a D8) but not hurt him; the attack value has to exceed the defender's D value to cause a hit.

As someone that has played a lot of Marvel digital games, I’m constantly frustrated to never get a single AF playable character, and nothing other than maybe a mention in a conversation. Glad to see some love here!

I totally get that, Ryan, and thank you! Doing these cards is exactly that, showing these great characters some much-deserved love.

Thanks, guys! Sasquatch and Aurora have several interpretations out there, but I made it part of the ask that the card designer use JB's art-- to me, that is the ONLY artwork I want on these customs.
