Worth champing? Miles, Ghost Rider, Carnage, Ant-Man

My 4* roster is already very well developed, with Champed:

Deadpool
Jean grey
Punisher
Red Hulk
Cyclops
Iceman
Hulkbuster
Captain Falcon
Kingpin
Thing
X23

I've got cover maxed Miles, Ant-Man, Carnage and Ghost Rider -- any value at all to maxing these guys?

My Phoenix is 2/5/2, Surfer is 1/5/5 and OML is 4/5/3, but I currently don't plan to level them up past 360... But maybe hoarding ISO until I am ready is the right answer instead of working on any more 4*s?

    Ant Man benefits most among that group from being able to respec at will. Carnage used to be a nice scarecrow because he slows things down so much, but anyone with OML just says "thanks for the attack tiles, Cletus." 5 black on Ghost Rider is nice, so if the covers didn't fall that way for you, you can champ him to respec. Otherwise, I haven't found him to be much of a powerhouse. Miles, I still haven't figured out. He's got a cheap stun, but it's red and competes with better red powers.

    once I finally get back to doing 4s nova, quake and pun will leapfrog that group but those (minus miles - like blacksheep I'm not sure about him) are in my 'next to consider' group after the good newer ones. I'm curious to hear the responses too. my guess is 1) GR, 2) carnage, 3) antman 4) miles, but I have none of them leveled past 145.

    I've got Antman and Ghost rider of the that bunch, I haven't regretted either. Ghost Rider was a godsend in the Civil War event against the later round IM/Cap boss fights. Stick him with that OML to tank for him and have Ap generator like Iron fist to feed black. That same team worked great in the harder nodes of the last Simulator PVE too. (Haven't had a chance to run GR in a Galactus or Ultron event yet).

    I have both Miles and Ant-Man championed. When they're buffed, they're both great. I don't really play either when they aren't, though. Carnage? My experience with him hasn't been great; the only reason I'm considering him is for TU value. Ghost Rider? Got at least four others I'd champion before him (Punisher, Peggy, Nova, Kate, probably in that order. Which is amusing, since it's reverse-alphabetical).

    With your OML, you really can't go wrong with a champed AntMan.

    OML covers for AntMan on yellow, making it a safe skill to start with and provides another round of strike tile damage each turn.
    AntMan's purple means a constant double dip on strike tiles.

    Champ AntMan can also respec to 5 blue and completely counter an enemy OML, just save your blue and black until the enemy has 9 black.

    I ended up choosing "none of the above" for now -- maxed my OML and Champed him instead.

    Hard to go wrong with that.
