Any 5 worth the ISO?

Hello,
I have hit a spot progression spot 2 seasons ago and my overall progress have not moved ever since. I can't afford the time needed to get to 1.3k with my roster (double or triple shield hop) and often can't afford the time needed for max progression in PvE. Therefore I have a very limited chance of getting the elusive 5* that would put me over the hill. Sadly my playing is almost non-existing at this moment. DDQ, some PvP if I have a spare hour (usually I hit 600-800 points and stop - too much skipping to get good targets) and PvE if it is not on weekends or 7 days (can't commit to a 7 days as playing for 5 or 6 days would be such a waste if I don't get max progression).
I have 7 4* champed (Iron man, Iceman, Rhulk, Ant-man, Deadpool, Jean and Thoress) - all of them top of the pops. I also have the covers for Cyclops (lvl 229) and X-Force (200) (plus some other 4* that I don't consider being helpful in the push to 1,3k). If they are boosted I can get to 1k fairly easily. But did not manage the 1.3k yet.
I am wondering if any of my 5* as they are now (with extra iso for levels) would make any difference. As it is - I am only using OML in PvE to clear the trivial nodes.
OML - lvl 300, 1-1-1 (:-( if only he was 2-2-2 I would be probably fine. but no such luck). Phoenix lvl 266, 2-4-0. Surfer - 0-1-4. Goblin - 1-3-1. Ironman 3-0-1. Spiderman - 1 pink and Banner 0-1-1.
If the consensus answer is no I will go back to champing all my 3* (I think 12 or 13 left) while I wait for the 5* to arrive. 4* maxing is not really in the nearest plans as there no 4* better than what I have now (don't have max covers for Nova, Thing or any of the more recent ones).

I recommend the 3s. I did that and have no regrets. I might save some back for when 4* covers come in, but up until you have about 4-6 3*s left, your queue will always have a 3* a few covers for someone in it (if you play a lot)0

Raising 5*s is something I have done while having only one cover, and it really doesn't do too much. It costs a lot of iso, even early on, and it doesn't raise the power of your character by a lot. I'd wait until you obtained a bunch of covers for them to really give them a nice boost. Champing 3*s and such is more likely to be worth your precious iso. Once you get more covers from them they'll eventually pay you back with iso, HP, 4* covers and CP you can use to level up your other characters if you need to. Levelling 5*s gives no rewards other than a slightly stronger character. 5*s do enough damage as they are already anyway.0

Thanks guys for confirming my initial thinking was correct. I am champing my 3* as I get covers (still 12 to go - so about 1M iso - I have 650k). When RHulk is boosted next week I will check if I can get to 1.3k as he seems to be the best 4* to do it. Unfortunately I don't have any HP for shields (literraly - just 250 HP) so I might not be able to.0

That sounds like a great plan and those 3*s will help add to that HP supply eventually.0
