Nova's Rocket is somewhat useful as a sort of stun, which is something 5*s don't have a lot of. Iceman's a better choice, though. Otherwise I agree. The best 5*s make most 4*s irrelevant. They should design 4*s to be useful as helpers for 5*s.

Since the introduction of 5* made all but 5-6 (add XDP to his list) irrelevant.

Colognoisseur wrote: That is why they are irrelevant. The game as structured right now will not see them get any play. Those who have 5* PvP MMR and PvE scaling keeps you from using them. Any of the transitioners who have older more well-covered 4* will be putting their precious iso in to those instead of a new character. The devs have made some really good new characters that will hardly ever see the light of day. In my book that makes them irrelevant.

What about the others? If you don't have two good 5*s then all of them except Howard and Drax are worth a slot in my opinion. If you're in 5* land then none of them offer a lot.
