And this is exactly why they power levels are different. The 5/3 copy system would be even more broken if the 5* out leveled the 3* without putting any ISO in.When I recently leveled my 5* Thanos with 5 in black to 360 I watched for the break even point and it was somewhere around 300 that it matched my 180-200 3* version's power. So you need to have about 100 more levels to reach the same damage amount (assuming linear scaling which they don't have, scaling is an exponential curve). But when you factor in that Thanos 5* can level up to 550 and Thanos 3* can only go to 266 (outside of BOP) 5* wins in the long run by quite a lot.This conversation made me wonder if 3* Thanos is actually better than 5* during BOP when both are at 550. The data is interesting. 3* has slightly better damage on Court Death, slightly more HP, but half the match damage)Level HP (Top 3 Match damage range) Court Death5* 140407 (1128-1450) 30260 enemy, 7504 team3* 163124 (522-674) 34922 enemy, 8935 team

You're comparing apples to oranges since your 3 star is champed and the 5 isn't even covered. If they both were champed you'd clearly prefer the 5 star.
