Join an alliance... even a random one... get your alliance rewards which will greatly help you out.

Also the biggest regret I had about starting MPQ was that I didn't play in the pvp events because I thought I would get stomped. But simply joining an event gets you something and you can usually win a few rounds versus the seed teams. Those extra rewards go a long way to helping you get started.

If you're firmly entrenched in 2* land... then focus your talents on a select few 2* covers. Thor, Ares, Magneto, Storm, Black Widow, Daken and Wolverine are generally the ones to focus on. Collect as many 3* covers as you have open space for, use your HP to open more slots. Once those 7 2* guys are maxed, you'll find you start to place well in the events. Then you can focus on (slowly) powering up the 3* characters you have.

Hope that helps.
