I have a bigger problem with the game's continuity, actually - you race against johnny storm at one point, and they taunt each other with things like "You're slower than Speedball!" and I'm pretty sure Ultimate Speedball doesn't Ultimate exist. They also say the same thing but with Moon Knight (who just turned up, so it could well be set after that) and Agatha Harkness (no idea in that regard) I'm kind of amused that they purposedully violate continuity just to entertain the people who are familiar with it. Also, who was that guy who drew Wolverine for like three issues a short while before Millar's run? He went on about how he was going to make Wolverine short and ugly, and he did, then the second or third issue came out and he suddenly looked like Hugh Jackman, then the guy quit because he wasn't comfortable srawing what editorial had told him to. I'd research it more but I'm supposed to be working ;-) His voice in the game is actually mid-way between hugh jackman and the cartoon version, actually. Yeah, I guess I can let it off for that then.

So you're only fighting Ultimate Wolverine. And he's considerably less hard than regular Wolverine anyway (they also keep forgetting to make him a shortarse - but then, so do most of the regular MU artists, Quitely and Cassaday being the only exceptions that spring to mind as having drawn him as noticeably short). So it's not sa bad. The game’s in Ultimate continuity, isn’t it? So you’re only fighting Ultimate Wolverine.
