    Hellion for Ace of Hearts, because he has women swooning for him. Or Gambit, because I guess he kind of fits the theme.

    Jack of Diamonds can also be Hellion, since he was Emma's protege. Or Living Diamond, who's real name is Jack, if you want to be more obvious. Colossus also works, because his metal skin is shiny.

    Hellion can be the Ace or King of Clubs, because he was the leader of the Hellions and was a great leader.

    Bolded my thoughts.
    I was trying to do too much and not doing any of it as well as I could. But I've had a change of mind... though not everyone shall enjoy it. I will.

    That's a cute idea !
    If you're friend is really into X-men, try to fit some of his obscure fav. We all have one.

    For the spade suit, I would put Wolverine as Ace and Bishop as Jack, or Nightcrawler but he would also fit in the hearts and I think the cards could use some diversity.
    For the Clubs, I would say Iceman, Storm, and maybe other elementals ? As like a "nature" team ? Sunfire as King ?
    For the Hears, I would acutally put Cyclops as Jack and Xavier as King. Nightcrawler as ace.
    I would say the Joker could be Gambit (has he has the whole deck) or Mystique/any metamorph or pregoc
    And for the repetend Villains, I would say Rogue as Jack. And Sinister as Ace, although I could also see him as a joker but the diamond on his head forces it.


    Diamond Suit
    Jack - Rogue
    Queen - Emma
    King - Magneto
    Ace - Sinister

    Spade Suit
    Jack - Bishop
    Queen - Betsy
    King - Angel
    Ace - Wolverine

    Club Suit
    Jack- Iceman
    Queen- Storm
    King - Sunfire
    Ace - ???

    Hearts Suit
    Jack- Cyclops
    Queen- Jean
    King - Xavier
    Ace- Nightcrawler

    Joker- Gambit / Mystique

    Cable is not an elemental per se, but he brings psionic powers to the suit as well as time travel and badassery. So I’d put him in your open spot personally.

    Thought this would be really fun!

    It looked like you were going for King and Queen to be couples at one point(so I tried to keep that going).

    Since you had Hearts as Summers, I just added other Summers clan members as Ace and Jack.

    I also moved Mystique to Jack, since Sinister(with the single diamond on his forehead), would make for a great graphic on the Ace of Diamonds.

    The really fun part is deciding on the pictures you'll use!

    Can you name all of the said women (or post pics) swooning for Julian Keller?

    Cable would be nice, although I would put him in Angel's place, if I had to chose XD
    But Rachel would fit the Ace card. Or Colossus.

    Ah I thought that's what your were going for ! That would look so cool !
    Romy Jones look like they do comissions, but I agree that 16 portrait/cards commissions must be quite expensive !
