Welcome, Ericth! Many lovely sentiments have already been said, and I agree. Unless you plan to play in any C3G tournaments, finding the cheapest minis is usually the go-to solution. It looks like you have an excellent opportunity to learn more about a lot of characters. I knew so so little about superheroes, especially Marvel, when I joined this project, and nowadays I feel relatively knowledgeable despite reading rather few actual comics in my days.
