November 20, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has released a cool little infographic for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game. It highlights some neat facts about various characters in the game. Did you even wonder how long it would take Howard the Duck to swim across Central Park Lake or how long it takes Iron Man to fly across Manhattan? Well this infographic will tell exactly how long it would take to accomplish those tasks.

We’ve played the game and have thoroughly enjoyed it so far. We’ve done a review for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes for the Playstation 3 version. We also did a handy guide on how to get the Deadpool Red Bricks if you need help finding them.
