Alliance Invasions

I thought invasions might be on the way after some surveys showed up some time ago. You know, alliance vs alliance. A tricky thing, trying to make a balanced system when alliances themselves are not usually bslanced, with some members just starting to champion Legendaries while others are whaling Epic monsters. How might it be implemented?
Hybridized PVE? Rather than defensive teams being exactly what you used, they are instead scaling teams, allowing newer players to participate equally.
Points/resource based building system? Assigning a character to a defensive point can have a cost based on the tier and covers of the character. This could limit the glut of Epic characters that dominate PVP based on if you can afford the higher cost of assigning them.
Hiring mercenaries? Not as in though forums (though this would occur at the beginning of an invasion period for sure with 20 person alliance locks), but instead hiring mercenary minions, literally using the pool of PVE minions to create your own defensive missions. Throw a yellow generating minion in with your IM40 and Peggy or buy a Minion with low costs that places CD tiles constantly to activate passive like Kamala Khan, Carnage, or Agent Coulson.
Make your own wave mission? It could be a full alliance mission, with a total of 20 characters. Assign your hero to the pool (like with team ups) for a terrifying mega-mission. On top of that, allow the attacker to be a wave attack. Again, you borrow from the alliance pool in a variation of team ups. Not a full 20 like the defense, but perhaps 2 waves of 4 or 3 waves of 3. The idea of actually USING a wave really interests me.
Any other ideas to throw out there?
