As far as I know, without any tokens or purchasing of covers, that is the fastest possible way to get his covers. And with the 3 consecutive double ISO events, I already have leveled him from 40 to 131. I can't wait to unleash him. Because not only is he a strong PVE character, he is also a top tier support in PVP when you don't have both Xforce and Thor. He isn't quite as good as Hood, but he has just as much skip power as Hood, since no one has to deal with all that AP steal. I'm really really excited about getting him to level 166 and putting him into my B team line up, behind Xforce Hood.

I like him a lot better than Hood: he's by far better when the featured character has a good active yellow (LazyThor cough cough), and is still better in general probably. Since cascades are the AI's main path o victory, having a passive that denies that isn't that much worse than Dormammu's Aid. Coupled with the fact that Loki hides behind X-Force much better than Hood, as long as illusions is the only purple on your team, I can't see a scenario where I'd play Hood over Loki anymore.
