In addition to the stats, these cards have character information. Unfortunately, the information on these cards isn't correct. Aquaman's name is listed as "Orin Marius"... which isn't a name he ever had. True, his brother's last name in the Modern Age is Marius, but it was never Aquaman's name.

If you ignore the bios, the game isn't bad. I question some of the weighting on the stats, but I would hope they were keeping game balance in mind when they set them.
Other Cards
Set 1 also includes Batman, Flash, Captain Marvel, Green Lantern and some of their related characters. Set 2 does not have any Aquaman characters, but has Superman, Wonder Woman, more Batman characters, and a few others.
