multiple versions of characters can work on a limited basis, but it sounds like having multiple versions is a major part of this game's plot and the mod intends to balance canons and aus. so there would be a lot more multiples than in pretty much other game.
also, instead of doing native aus like fade rift (which are usually pretty low-wank), this game would allow the wankiest possible kinds of aus: rule 63, canon divergence what-if scenarios, different powers, etc. then you end up with offensive stereotype rule 63 peter parker, woobie good jedi kylo ren and rape backstory steve rogers.
and on top of that, they're all supposed to be evil... so you can assume that 75% the players will want their "evil" characters to be good or neutral.
