The thought process propelling the 1991 Impel Marvel Universe Series II can be compared to the yearly releases of baseball and football cards. Impel wanted to feature an annual "roster" of their Marvel Universe line. This second set delivered another colorful, comprehensive look at the Marvel Universe. The 1991 checklist spans 162 cards, featuring all the major heroes and villains, plus subsets such as Teams, Weapons, Rookies, Arch-Enemies, and Legends.

The cards' vibrant, comic-inspired design - with bright borders, bold inner frames, and diagonal stripe accents - captures the energy of early-'90s Marvel storytelling. Card backs mirror the style of sports cards, with character bios, power stats, and additional artwork, cementing the sports-meets-comics theme.

Although 1991 Impel Marvel Universe Series II was printed in large numbers, uncut sheets are seldom seen, offering an uncommon glimpse into the production process and a visually impressive display piece. The sheets remain a nostalgic centerpiece for collectors who grew up during the golden age of Marvel trading cards.
