Nice call on the name change. May i suggest, check scaling 2 ways. First run through.. don't use OML... wait on 2nd sub ... see if it goes any higher in 2nd sub, use OML wait on 3rd sub, see if using him is different than just having him on roster. Similar experiments have been done.. but, not that one i think.

Third node, "Inner Space Cadet": 4 waves, range 85-93 on Steam.
Fourth node, "Okay, Yeah, They're Dolls": Hulk @ 126, Thor @125, Cap @ 126 on Steam. Fifth node, "Big Things One Day Come," 5 waves, range 111-111 on Steam. Not going to run that yet.

I stopped using him pretty quickly after getting him, and drastically scaled back my playing of the game overall due to PvE scaling and PvP matchmaking changing drastically. Anecdotally, I feel that scaling on PvE more or less returned to 'normal' when the last Heroic event ran about 2 weeks ago. Scaling appeared to be 'normal' during the Heroic event because SS was unusable, but 'normal' levels of scaling seem to have continued past that, I don't know whether this is tied to not using SS anymore, merely coincidence, or rather if scaling was affected in the last patch (which I think went out during the Heroic)?
PvP is basically an unwelcoming wall of death for me these days though. I had just started hitting 800 regularly before drawing Surfer, now I need to be pretty determined to push to 300 through all the maxed Luke Cages out there. I had an easier time in PvP during my 1-2* transition. Just can't back it up with statistics or evidence.

But the scaling has still been roughly equivalent to my Steam account, where most of my 3* are at 120, even though my mobile is at 104 and only three characters have even 12 covers. So, I mean, I suspect without OML at all mobile would still have more friendly scaling going on. But the gut take "so far" is that there's a moderate influence, but that where you really get your **** kicked is if you use the 5* because you feel you "have to." Because scaling in subsequent events will likely go up to account for that usage. …
