It's true low level rosters have beneficial scaling but you still need everyone on the team to pitch in to do well. If your enemies are remotely capable of defeating you, you'll find that you can't possibly get away with true healing guy just tanking everything because IRanWithScissors/Nananananananana…Tatman! just aren't that great versus the top tier PvE opponents. For PvP it's even worse since whoever attacks you will just pound your underleveled support guys first.

A similar argument could be made for having Falcooon...PAUNCH! hide behind Nananananananana…Tatman!.

Obviously if your other two guys are really strong you can get away with a pretty weak guy as support though I'm not getting that impression from the poster. Falcooon...PAUNCH!'s Inspiration is directly tied to his levels so unless you're just using him for CD removal (I'd think OBW is better for that) he can certainly use the levels.

(IRanWithScissors SparklyVampKiller or NC17-Force) is a pretty competent PvE team except that Falcooon...PAUNCH! ends up tanking yellow + blue getting him killed pretty quickly. If he's underleveled his Inspiration isn't as strong but you can juggle damage between Wolvypoo + Nananananananana…Tatman! and ramp up your strike tiles pretty quickly. I kept BigBlackKitty at 117 for a long time because of this (IRanWithScissors BP Nananananananana…Tatman! was a really strong team before all these new fangled super characters came out) and was considering doing the same with DP + MissTeak. NC17-Force 4hor changed all that so I just started maxing everyone.
