But he is in the novelization, which is treated as a primary source. Meanwhile, Peter David's novelization for the 2003 Hulk movie makes no mention of "Absorbing Man". And this is from the guy who took huge liberties for his novelization of the 2008 film.

The same could also be said of the action figure line, as I pointed out earlier.
