So let me see if I understand this. You're saying that an alliance who is playing the team Iron Man side does the non-boss fights on the team Cap side but the boss fights on the team Iron Man side?

So if you swap out after beating round 7 rather than going for that last Red Room token (which is likely to just be another 4*, and not as good of one as Cyclops) you should be able to get all the guaranteed covers easily.
