Okay, we've discussed some of these people doing things like playing chess to determine whose a better stratigist and tactician, now let's go with poker.

Poker's more than simply a game of strategy or tactics. It also goes into how well you can judge your opponent. How well you can bluff when your hand is weak, and how well you can hide it when your hand is strong.

Four tables

First table:
Spider-man
Daredevil
The Question
Wolverine


Second table:
Superman
Darksied
Thanos
Captain America


Third table:
Doctor Doom
Ra's al Ghul
Deathstroke
Batman


Fourth table:
Lex Luthor
Joker
Apocalypse
Magneto


The winner of each table will each face each other in a final game.

Spider-Man or DD at Table 1, Thanos at table 2, Doom at table 3, and Joker at the last table (no one'll ever figure out his play-style).

DD's hearing and Spidey's spider-sense would be huge (Parker actually used this in a comic once to win a super-hero poker match). But truthfully, you have to believe Thanos or Doom would find a way to win.

Where's people like Brainiac, Loki, etc.?? They'd be great.

I had a brain-fart, and couldn't think of anyone else.

Daredevil and Superman would be able to 'see' what everyone else was holding in their hands.... easy wins for these guys

Though, conceivably, Pete's spider-sense might warn him every time he's going to make a losing bet. If that's the case, he'd only make bets where he'd win the hand (though in the comic, he only alludes to it helping him pick out bluffs from other players). But he might be a force in poker if he ever set himself to it.

Bah, but shouldn't there be some ban on powers (though that kinda eliminates my spider-sense plan, even though he can't control it like Supes can with his vision).

But if you take that a logical step further, you could say that Thanos uses his power to kill everyone else in the poker match, thus winning.

They can use their powers, just not on the cards themselves.

whats up with that no powers ban dude then dd couldent even tell what cards he had let alone what cards his opponent

But his powers are involuntary. I'm talking about overt powers like x-ray vision and blowing people up.

Third table wins. that would make a good team.

all ok i thought taking all their powers i was like poor blind man cant get a brack

Okay, let me just state it this way. They can use thier power, just no to influence/harm each other, or sneak a peak at anything other than the cards in their hands.

The winner of each table will each face each other in a final game. you should have added gambit on to one of the teams. he would pass them all a card that they wouldnt like.

Originally posted by Sea King

Darkseid wins this easily via TP......

well good points all around for dd but im am going with him

Spider-man.

His powers are involuntary and in The Other (Yes, I know it sucked ass but still...) he used his powers to win a large amount of money gambling (something like 50,000 ? )

And then Thanos would remove him from existence.

My point exactly. Spider-sense would be the quickest way to a fortune ever.

I'd love to see this.

Cap : You cheated

Thanos : Bah ! The mad titan has no need to cheat

Supes : I'm pretty sure he hasn't been cheating otherwise my 'Truth and the American way' power would have gone off ...Wait a minute Truth AND the American way. Doesn't the first kinda contradict the second ?

Thanos : See the kryptonian isn't paranoid

Darkseid : Quiet rip-off...

Thanos : Rip off...excuse me ! Unlike you I don't need Jim lee penciling me and Jack kirby kissing ass for ME to own some heroes. You on the other hand are the resident alien punching bag , so i suggest you shut your trap before I lay a beat down on you !!

Darkseid : Oh , just like you 'Laid a beatdown' on Odin aye...

Thanos *Pissed off* Thats it ******* !!!

*Thanos jumps across the table and starts strangling Darkseid , Darkseid punches Thanos in the groin . Thanos loses his grip and takes a boot to the face*

Darkseid : Wheres your infinite gauntlet now ***** !!!

Superman : *Sighs* Is he always like this *Points to Thanos*

Cap : Yeah , pretty much.

Question: Why is Thing not in any of these games?

Seriously, not to be a fanboy, but Thing is one of the best poker players in comics.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a54/Grimm22/THING008_cov.jpg

Spider-man: Is he looking at my cards?
Daredevil: Is who looking at your cards?
Spiderman: Him! (Points at the Question)
Daredevil: I don't think so.
Spiderman: How would you know? You're blind!
Wolverine: Would you two just shut-up and play the game. I raise.
Daredevil: Check
The Question lays down two chips
Daredevil: Did he just raise or see?
Spiderman: Neither, he just folded.
Daredevil: Don't lie
Wolverine: Shutup! The Question sees.
Spiderman: I fold.
Daredevil: Do you ever stay in?
Wolverine: Shutup and show them.
Question lays out a full house Aces over Queens.
Wolverine: Well, #@$%!
Daredevil: Does anybody know what I have?
Spiderman: Like 2 bucks. That's what you have. Have you ever considered folding once in a while?
Daredevil: They don't call me the man without fear for nothing.
Spiderman: I think he's hiding cards under his mask.

Thing got punked by Spidey (and Kingpin, for that matter) in a poker game they played recently. Thing knows what he's doing, but he wouldn't last long in this crowd. Sorry.

Yeah Spider-Man was playing poker with dr. Strange, Thing, Angel, Kingpin, Black Cat and Torch. He won and humiliated Kingpin.

Has anybody considered the fact that Thanos and Darkseid wouldn't probably even know what poker is?

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a54/Grimm22/THING008_cov.jpg i see a page # on there so what book is that ?

Table one: spiderman wins, spidersence wold help a lot
Table two: Thanos wins, when doesnt he win? lol... great tactician, ans stratagist.
Table 3: Doom wins, he'll fina a way to cheat knowing him.. plus he's just smarter, great poker players have great memories, he'll note everyones stratagies during the first 15 or so hands. then he'll clean house. also the other players wont be able to read him with his mask on.
Table 4: I say joker. like wat digi said, it would be hard to pick up his playing style. also it would be hard to read him. plus he would have a ace up his sleeve lol.
