Rokk and Sorban, seeing through the guise of the "death" of Clark Kent/Superman

Intergalactic gamblers from the planet Ventura who square off with Superman - and later Batman - at the gaming tables.

First, the duo bet that they could force Superman to kill someone (he doesn't - he tricks them). (S No. 171, Aug 1964: "Superman's Sacrifice!")

In an adventure with Batman, as he gambles for Batman's life and the Earth's fate, Superman bests the luckless duo in a game of skill and chance. (WF No. 150, Aug 1964: "The Super-Gamble with Doom")

Also, these unapologetic wagerers are responsible for the second race between Superman and the Flash. (chronicled in The Flash No. 175, Dec 1967: "Race to the End of the Universe")
