Civilians enjoy poker games. But have you thought about your favourite superheroes and villains batting against each other on a poker table? Believe it or not, these iconic superheroes that we idolize on screen might share our passion for poker.

Most of them rely on brute strength to make their point but at the poker table its strategy, skill and wit that wins out every time. Each one of us has some or the other favourite superhero or villain. Let’s find out if we have one of yours on this list:

The Joker 

Remember Heath Ledger as the Joker? Of course you do! The character played his whole life around the card game online. His psychotic tendencies and a manipulative wit make him a great pro at poker games.

It’s obvious he loves to calculate his moves and deceive his opponent by being unpredictable at any given time, pulling a bluff even Batman won’t be able to beat! We would have loved to include Batman in this list, but then that would have been too predictable,right?

Deadpool 

Deadpool’s sarcasm and jokes are something we could all root for! And not just that, his unpredictable nature and a character trait to keep everyone interested in the poker game with his endless talks and expressions makes it very difficult for the other to figure him out.

You think you can beat him? Well try! He’d already be planning a different strategy in his head while you’re just trying to play out the last one.

Wolverine 

We all are very familiar with Mr. Wolverine’s strong mutant senses. You’re not gonna go very far with your deceptive or fake tell because he’ll see right through it! Trying to pull a big bluff in poker card games? Preparing to raise the stakes? He’s like a mind-reader. And he will most probably use his heightened instincts over math to play the game. Beware! That’s one of the most useful tools at poker games.

The Thing 

Can’t we just call him The Rock? If only Dwayne Johnson hadn’t used that up! He’s one of those players to always throw in all the stakes for a good poker hand in games. Some might say that’s stupid, we call it his super-useful trait. Now, don’t forget, he’s also a scientist!

His analytical poker skills and god reasoning power wins the game. If not, what are his rock-hard fists for? Saving the world was too mainstream for them. But they just made our poker game a whole lot interesting! Did your favourites top this list?
