>Chronological Order
That's like saying, "I conceptualized of the Peizatsu[1] first so it has to be the first thing unlocked."
And I'm p-sure that Base Iron Man is very powerful. Thor is powerful with or without Mjolnir. And The Hulk at base form can lift the entirety of New York City.
I don't know what justifies unlocking them in chronological order, will the others on the higher ranks be really powerful and more useful(on base form) than the ones in the lower tiers? Either that or this just sounds like WarCraft 3.
Buh-hey your choice, mang.
This is just a bit of Gameplay and Story Segregation.
(I'm leaving out upgrading units as a discussion point since that's also a different balancing issue.)
[1]Super Unit in Death Label-- in my canon mythos it's a planet-buster at full strength. In the mod, it's unlocked via expensive Authorization(3 General's points), Rank 8(Max Rank), Research Centre. It has a very high cost, very long build up and, requires at least one powerplant to keep it powered.
