    I suppose this was the logical follow-up to the fivestar essential node in PvE. Looking forward to getting a Parker cover eventually (My Vulture is 2/0/0, so I only need 21 more covers for him...)

    @Brigby For those who have sold dupe level 370 4* characters, will we be granted the covers from those as well?

    This is a solid update. I only have six 4* characters at 280 or above so far, but one day it will help me. It is unclear if all 4* characters will eventually receive this treatment and if more than one character can point to a 5*, but here is my 280-and-above-list and hopes:

    1) Captain Marvel   -->   5* Iron Man (Mark XLVI) or 5* Star-Lord (Awesome Mix Vol. 2)
    2) Kingpin   -->   5* Daredevil (Matt Murdock)
    3) Agent Couson   -->   5* Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff)
    4) Iron Man   -->   5* Iron Man (Mark XLVI)
    5) Professor X   -->   5* Jean Grey (Phoenix) 
    6) Red Hulk   -->   5* Hulk (Bruce Banner)
    Aside from Kingpin and IMHB, some stretches here. ;) Trying to think who would be most likely to give 5*s without doubling down, though they've never been too bothered with multiple 3*s giving the same 4*.

    Silver Surfer - Maybe Carol, but I assume she'll get a 5* around her movie release. So maybe Reed, Sue, or Thing.
    OML - X-Force
    Phoenix - Jean Grey
    BSSM - Venom
    Green Goblin - Sandman
    Iron Man - IMHB
    Captain America - Sam Wilson
    Hulk - GladiHulk
    Black Bolt - Medusa
    Black Widow - Fury
    Strange  - Mordo
    Thanos - Gamora
    Black Panther - No idea. Reed to keep the 3 to 4 to 5* path. Maybe Carol since their both in the Ultimates.
    Hawkeye - Kate Bishop
    Starlord - Starlord
    Doc Ock - Carnage
    SMPP - Vulture
    Gambit - Rogue
    GladiaThor - Lady Thor
    @STOPTHIS Yeah, some of those were not clear connections, I was thinking "Ok, if every 4* character were to point to a 5*, based on the 5* characters already in-game, who would they be?" I was also only working with the 4* characters I already have at lvl 280 or above for my list.

    Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) I thought could be 5* Iron Man (Mark XLVI) due to the recent Avengers / Civil War II connection. 5* Star-Lord (Awesome Mix Vol. 2) was a possibility due to her time with the Guardians of the Galaxy.

    Coulson, I just figured "Who else is an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the 5* tier?" Nick Fury would definitely point to     5* Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff) too.

    Red Hulk to Banner would just be a Hulk connection, and Totally Awesome Hulk and Gladiator Hulk would also point to him.

    Professor X to     5* Jean Grey (Phoenix) seems perfectly logical, though. Obviously teen Jean would also point to her. Possibly also 4* Cyclops. 4* Rogue would definitely point to 5* Gambit, though.

    The retroactive cover rewards are an especially nice touch on top of this already awesome news. Add my thanks to the pile.

    Another nice thing: Now I don't need to reserve 250 CP for when Silver Surfer is offered in the HFH store, I can just wait until he comes as a fourstar champion reward. He is 3/4/5, so just one more cover is all I need. Still better to get it for free than having to pay for it though. :)

    • Players who have already earned these rewards will receive any cover they would have gotten immediately when the change is made. 
      • For example, players with a level 300 Vulture will receive the Spider-Man (Peter Parker) Stick Around and Arachnid Agility covers.

    Not sure if you already wrote that, but:
    Will this apply to ALL future changes of 4*s, or only to three already announced?
    IF you meant to change all 4*s (how many of them? 50 now?), that may be pretty much 5*s for some players.

    I would like to know this so i can eventualy save CPs and LTs (not only to save 5*s, but also to avoid getting tons of 5*s i cant use because of lack of ISO)

    He is probably going to come out of Invisible Woman , Thing or Mr Fantastic

    This is awesome!  This will help me cover quite a few older 5’s.

    @Brigby, will this be the normal champ reward setup for new 4’s released after Hulk?  Any information you can provide about future plans for older 4’s would be great too.  Will this eventually be expanded to all 4’s, or at least one for each 5?

    Not a problem, all Three are over 280.
