However, I'd rather make that one introduction (he was on the Avengers West Coast team, you just didn't hear much about him before now!). Otherwise you need to rationalize: the introduction of a level 1 PC, why a high level group is taking on apprentices (perhaps frequently, if you have deaths/introduce new players often), why the party doesn't confront any threats with area attacks for several encounters, and the new PC's rocketing advancement to being a level 5+ character (probably much higher than the typical level in the setting). That can strain credibility too, and you additionally have all of the issues with a much lower level PC in a high level party.</blockquote>
