Have Storm and Thor interacted much? Wasn't Storms thing that she was worshipped as a weather Goddess? Did she ever have a memorable reaction to meeting the actual God of Thunder? That must have been a bit humbling.

I think they did when the X-Men went to Asgard and Loki gave her her own magic hammer.

They dated for a bit in Marvel Adventures Avengers.

I'm afraid not in this case. That story took place in the middle of Simonson's run and Thor was missing from Asgard at the time because he was a frog. The What If based on this arc has Throg fight Thorm and it's a decent, though abrupt, follow up to that arc.

The general isolation of the X-Men line has kept Storm away from Thor and in the cases where Storm starts getting used in the wider Marvel Universe, there's usually a case of bad timing with Thor out of the picture at that moment.

Snooker is all different colours - with pool it's just red and yellow and a player picks up a colour, pots all there is of it, then the black.

His power should allow him to easily perfect hitting the cue ball in various ways but I'm fuzzy on how his power works with marksmanship and aim. Because it's one thing for your form to be perfect and another for your aim to be. Hitting the cue ball in the exact dead centre and sending it forward in an exact straight line would be easy for him to do each time, but I dunno how good he'd be at picking which straight line is the right one for what he wanted to do. And it'd be the same for different spins and jumps on the ball.

Darts would be a lot easier. Notwithstanding having to shoot around other darts in the same scoring sections, he'd only need to memorize a repertoire of 82 shots to utterly master the game.

A lot better than Daredevil could I imagine.

Although this is probably where someone tells me that Daredevil can tell numbered balls apart by smelling the colours or some such bullshit.

according to Domino's narration in one of the last issues of her solo series, when multiple probability-based supers get together their powers bounce off each other in unexpected ways that causes things to veer wildly off course so nobody wins

There’s a scene in Daredevil: Yellow where he ends up sinking every ball. It doesn’t make much sense.

Hmm... assuming they're playing at a bar, Daredevil could definitely identify the cue ball by its deformations and the chalk that got rubbed off onto it. He might be able to identify the 8-ball since it's the ball that's been knocked around the least. It's a stretch, but I suppose he could tell the stripes and solids apart because of different temperatures on the ball or something goofy like that. Of course, all this goes out the window if it's brand new balls or they're rarely played with.

The real answer is that Daredevil just asks someone what each of the balls are before the break and then keeps track of them.

So I was wondering, how did anyone ever find out Superman can't see through lead? Like, I guess it's logical that villains would hear "x-ray vision" and attempt to stop it with lead like real life/actual science, but when or why did Superman confirm it? Because that seems like a weakness that Superman wouldn't want to let the public know about.
