I’ll give you that Superman would probably win if Xavier’s powers don’t affect him. I’m not a huge Marvel fan, so I don’t know the Professor’s track record with aliens. I have seen Superman mind-controlled by Brainiac and a few others.

I hate to say it, because I am by no means a superman fan, but he is not human, he is alien. Is there any evidence that Xavier’s powers work on anything other than human?

Realisitically, Superman ain’t gonna play with lead lined cards, and he’s strong enough and smart enough to destroy such a deck.

I can’t see how Superman can lose in this game. He can see your cards. Perhaps he just gets so unlucky that he never wins a hand? But then, surely he’d make a great bluff from time to time. “Ace King? Two pair? Well I’ve got pocket nines for the set.”

Wonder Woman should keep her lasso to herself when she’s not in the hand. Fair’s fair. Superman doesn’t tell everyone *all* the hands..

He could, but he would need time to plan and know who is going to play against ahead of time.

Batman for the win, for exactly the reasons you said.
