Yes, these four characters will be "stuck" at level 405 forever. I'm fine with that. My PVE gameplay is consistently entertaining without the negative effects these characters bring to my experience.
I don't know that logic enters into it. It's not a matter of "would have to throw away." Iceman's yellow is amusing. His blue overwrites my Strang5, who I enjoy using. Therefore I don't have the blue power. I think that I have only used Ares in Behemoth Burrito, and nowhere else, since SCL10 opened up, but I only ever fired his yellow as a finishing move. I haven't had 1* Juggs on my roster in at least three years. The Dakens' self-damage is funny but never threatening. iHulk is hilarious. Polaris's blue is not an issue; I almost always use her with Kitty, and usually by the time I fire her blue, the board is so full of Lockheed's shields that the enemy strike tiles do nothing for the villain team except give me more things to match and enhance.
In short, I play this game for fun, and things that are not fun, I don't use, see?
If you are throwing powers, how can you know that it's fun or not?
Because I've had them, I've used them, I didn't like them, I got rid of them. I trashed the character and started again.
