A Humorous Look at Super Powers

See Thru Anything:
There are not many powers that would be as good as better then being able to see not only all the cards people are holding but all the cards in the shoe. You would be able to tell what everyone was going to be dealt before the hand ever started. With an advantage like this you could take the casino for all their money.

Transparency:
The ability to turn invisible would be a nice power for a spy or an extortionist, but not really that good for gambling. You would have to work as a team with someone. They could place bets at a roulette table and you could move the bet to the winning number, but you would have to be slick about it. If you bumped into someone they would want to know what touched them, and if suddenly someone sees a stack of chips moving they are going to wonder why.

Plastic Man:
Cool power but I don’t think it would be so great for cheating. If you tried to sneak your arm under the table and around the other side someone is bound to notice an arm popping up and moving chips around. This could maybe be good if you can get your arm inside of a slot machine and make it pay out.

The Thing:
The things super power was that he was made of stone and had almost unlimited strength. This would be good if he wanted to become a professional wrestler or an UFC fighter. He would be undefeatable. How to you punch something made of stone. What submission hold works on rocks, but how strong you are is no advantage to cheating in a casino.

The Human Torch:
Fire + Casino = Bad!

Speaking to Animals:
This would be really cool if you were trapped in the woods or if you fell off a boat or from an airplane, but unless you are playing poker and there is an aquarium or some caged animal behind the other players I really do not see the advantage.

Kinesis:
If I could pick any power at all I would want to be able to move small and large objects with my mind. This would allow me to cheat at craps and roulette by manipulating the outcome of the game without anyone seeing.

Mind Reading:
This would allow you to know what the other people had in their hands but unlike X Ray Vision you would not have a way to know what the next cards were going to be.
Ability to Manipulate the Weather:
About the only thing you could really do with this is to make the casino foggy and change the results of the game.

Storm:
The ability to control the weather would have no effect on any casino game. Maybe you could make lightening strike the slot machines and hopefully they will start to pour out their money.

The Flash:
If had the ability to move faster then the eye could see, you could have a big advantage in a casino. You could change your bets or change the cards in your hand without anyone being able to see you

Thought control:
If you could make people think you won every hand you would be king of the casino. You could walk in to any casino and make the others think you have won. You do not even need to play, you just have to make them think that you played and then you can just take all their money and no one will have any idea of what really happened.

What is the point of having a super power if you can not use it to get stupid rich in a casino?
