You opened the door to it. If you are using aspects of the video game (flipping a tank) as proof of something that you say (he has super strength), then you should likewise find proof in the game of whatever else you say. If you can say "MC has super strength, for evidence, look at the game. MC lifts tanks in the game" then you should also say "MC has speed of thought and see things in bullet time, look at the game for proof" Yet everyone knows this isnt the case. If I were you Id stay as far away from using game examples as possible.
And its impossible for 1 character to have 2 sources of cannon. Cannon is a singular continueing storyline either written, drawn, or created by the orginal author, or people that have the rights to those characters. Stuff is cannon by the fact that its part of this storyline. For example, the expanded universe of star wars isnt considered Cannon, since cannon is the movie series, not the novels. In comics, What If series isnt cannon, because its not a part of the storyline, its just a theoritcal comic. The Age Of Apocolypse isnt cannon, its an alternate timeline. If I were to pose a question regarding Wolverine and his cannon storyline, you wouldnt list that he got his hand chopped off by Cyclops. Now, if I were to ask about the AoA Wolverine, then AoA would be cannon for that character. In the Expanded Universe for star wars, if I were to pose questions regarding EU chars, then EU would be cannon for that character. Many times in these discussions people dont mind using examples from non-cannon, when they are represented realistaclly similaar to cannon, like in AoA, while other times non cannon sources are irreverent, because they display powers far too superior to what should be realisticly imagined, such as in SW EU where some characters can use the force to squish stars and force choke people from across the universe. This is one of those times, where your source depicts MC as a sort of super fast Max Payne speed of thought bad mamma jamma, when one source simply doesnt. Its like there is "Book MC" that is a super fast etc etc and "Real MC" that is a dude in a powerful suit, just like there is "Expanded Universe Jedi" that can do stuff like crush stars and then there is "Real Jedi" that have just telekinisis. And there is "Age of Apocalypse Nightcrawler" that can teleport someones head off, and "Real Nightcrawler" that simply refuse to use his powers like that.
