I was always under the impression I need to keep hitting the Phoenix shot to win the Phoenix mode. Naturally I have seen Wolverine and Cyclops were lit during the mode and assumed they were just points.

Well today I figured what if I just hit Wolverine over and over, what happens?

Answer: 8 Wolverine shots wins the mode w/o ever hitting Phoenix

Interesting.

I suspect you could do something similar with Cyclops, but you would not have enough time to keep setting up the shot.

BTW-Sorry if this had been posted before in another thread-I did not recall seeing it.

Could be. I just thought it was interesting the mode could be completed without ever hitting Phoenix
