DD only one that came with a cover to my recollection. You are correct that DD was the only costume you could get with an actual cover. It was a 300 CP purchase (not that long ago). No actual money was involved (theoretically; you can always use $ to gain CP in buy clubs, so that's about $300 with 60 CP left over).Any other 5*s bundles have not included an actual specific cover, but a bunch have come with LTs or tokens to a special 5* store, all for actual $ (usually 74.99 if memory serves)ThorStrangeCaptain MarvelGoblinI don't think anyone who has 550s would choose not to buy a costume bundle because they were worried about getting another cover from the store; they could have hoarded them, I guess (the LTs, at least). The 8000 HP bundle:Loki - no cover includedOkoye was in a vault which also included the Royal Talon Fighter Support. Cable was winnable for T10 placement.If someone has a 550, they can sometimes ask to have any dupe covers for that character converted to any other 5* cover they wish via CS request (I think they have to have all 3 Latests and the cover needs to be one of the Latest 3). But I didn't hear any complaint during the 2 weeks the DD costume was available regarding wanting to buy the bundle, but not needing that cover.....I don't think any whale / hoarder was stressing that much over it.

Yyou must be young.I come from an age where costumes and such were unlockable. You played the game, achieved certain things and gained costumed as a reward.

Funny, I come from an age where reasonable people can recognize the difference in unlockables in standard games and microtransactions in free to play games and how both have separate and valid reasons to exist that do not invalidate each other.Further, the gatekeeping is incredibly obnoxious.

And I come from an age when the "costume" was dressing up Pong -- literally on our black and white TV -- as a game, something other than an electronic marvel. We tried hard to believe it was fun; I think that was 1975...(The marvel was absolutely real. The "fun game," not so much! lol)
please remain civil

Ex: X-Force Deadpool will soon be Cap'n Deadbeard. Could he get an additional costume in the future? So you had 3 options?(cue groans from your art department, who probably think that around 160 costumes for all 3/4/5's is already a lot...) As of this moment, we don't have any characters scheduled to have more than one alternate costume, however theoretically I don't see why characters couldn't have more than one in the future.
