2025 Fleer Brilliants Superman Mega Box

Product Review: 2025 Fleer Brilliants Superman Mega Box (by Upper Deck)

Reviewed by: David Codye Satterwhite, Cardboard Addict DCS

If you're a Superman fan, comic book historian, or serious trading card collector, the 2025 Fleer Brilliants Superman Mega Box by Upper Deck is an absolute must-have. After personally ripping six boxes of this long-anticipated DC Comics release, I can confidently say that Upper Deck has delivered a product that balances visual appeal, nostalgic storytelling, and real chase potential. It is also priced well at ~$50 a box. Making it highly collectible worthy.

🔍 Box Configuration & Card Types

Each Mega Box contains:

• 14 packs per box

• 5 cards per pack

• 90-card rainbow foil base set

• Exclusive Purple Parallels (Mega Box only)

What sets this product apart is its variety of thematic inserts and rare parallels, including:

• Classic Covers

• Superman Revenge Squad

• World of Metropolis

• Powered by the Sun

• Truth, Justice, and a Better Tomorrow

• The Last Son of Krypton (Ultra Rare)

💎 Hit Breakdown & Pull Ratios

Across the six boxes, here’s what stood out:

• We pulled multiple numbered cards, including green, purple, and red parallels (e.g. #/1938, #/999, #/499, and one Golden Flight #/24!)

• Pulled 2 different Powered by the Sun cards (Mon-El and Supergirl) – stunning foil treatment

• Classic Covers inserts featured iconic comics like Action Comics #1, The Death of Superman, and Superman’s Wedding Album

• Strong representation of core and side characters including Supergirl, Lex Luthor, Doomsday, Darkseid, and even Mr. Mxyzptlk (good luck saying it)

Notably, the Purple Parallel set felt well-rounded — with enough variety that we may have completed nearly a full run across six boxes.

🎨 Design & Print Quality

Upper Deck delivered exceptional quality on these cards. The:

• Rainbow foil board adds serious visual punch without overdoing the shine

• Parallel colors (green, red, gold) offer strong contrast and enhance the value perception

• Classic Covers set is a real nostalgia hit, beautifully showcasing comic history dating back to Superman #1 (1939)

The packs don’t include tear strips or perforations (a small drawback), but card centering and edge quality were consistent across the break.

⚖️ Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Gorgeous foil designs and parallel treatments

• Well-curated insert themes for comic fans

• Strong nostalgic factor with Classic Covers

• Exclusive Purple Parallels are a fun chase

• Nice spread of serial-numbered cards

• Price

Cons:
– Packs can be hard to open (no tear strip or perforations)
– Ultra-rare chase hits (Last Son of Krypton, Illuminators) are very hard to pull
– Some redundancy in lower-tier pulls across six boxes

🏁 Final Verdict

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.5/5)
The 2025 Fleer Brilliants Superman Mega Box is a strong addition to the Upper Deck lineup, especially for Superman and DC Comics collectors. While we wish there were more ultra-rare hits across six boxes, the quality of artwork, foil treatment, and character coverage makes this a worthy rip for collectors of all experience levels. Whether you're after numbered parallels, classic comic nostalgia, or building a Purple Parallel master set — this box delivers. Also, at $50 a box its not hard to justify opening multiple boxes and collecting a potential master set.
