don't think cap has ever played pool before

Hawkeye, not even close.

The Captain.

I'd go with Captain America (Steve). This seems like one of those things where he'd surprise people with know-how and finesse. Good boys play in dirty sand boxes too.

This. Hawkeye is bound to make some beautiful shots, but Cap's experience with bounce shots and several-turns-ahead strategy will win in the end.

Cyclops is a beast when it comes to pool. He's described as having a superhuman grasp of geometry, which helps him aim his optic blasts and would help him in this situation.

@powerherc: makes sense

Hawkeye.

hawkeye

Hawkeye. He is a better shot and better aim. And for everyone going on about caps shield skills. Hawkeye can use the shield just as well as cap its been stated.

@thedjredvelvet: @jonsmith:

Uncanny X-Men #144: Cyclops wins a game of pool in a single shot.

He also teams up with Man-Thing, but who cares about that?

Welcome to the Vine!

Yeah, I'd go with Cap for the reasons above. Pool seems more suited to his shield-throwing.

@jonsmith: Why Cyclops? I think he's one of the most underrated of the old school X-Men and he's a great shot, still gotta take in consideration hand-eye coordination. I'm sure Emma Frost, Jean Grey and her clone don't have any complaints, but think Cyclops has ever shot a gun, no less know how to use a stick.

Hawkeye.

Being an ex-carney he's bound to have hung out in a lot more pool halls and barrooms than Captain America so he has to have played/practiced shooting pool a lot more.

Also going to go with Cap: He's got the better experience with trajectory rebound and alteration. Now if you were to put him up against CYCLOPS, I think this would be too close to call.

I'd say Cap. Seems better at bounce shots and stuff.

Welcome to Comic Vine! :)

Excellent first post.

Its almost too close to call. I'm going to go with Cap on this one, though. His ability to line up multiple targets and take them out in one shot, as you stated, would give him the edge here.
