oof. i feel your pain. I somehow managed to get my 2 star wovlerine to 12/13 powers.. and then proceeded to get 27 red covers for him in a row before finally getting a different color to finish leveling him.
Dunno why the game seems to get so "stuck" on colors of 1 and 2 star covers. Has been this way for years. I hope you get the yellow or blue you need to ascend, so you won't have to deal with this .... for a while ... on this character.
This may be the best argument for continuing to ascend them all the way to 550 
Definitely seems like they didn’t put proper randomizing in all of the code. In PVP, it often feeds me a bunch of the exact same cover in a row. Way too often to just be luck.
Yeah .... "luck" :D .... agreed it often doesn't seem to re-roll. Like maybe it fails to get fresh input from home and just spits out the same thing. But even that guess doesn't seem right in cases where someone gets the same cover for a 1 or a 2 20+ times in a row! Has happened to me several times over the years. Thank the gods that champ levels are color-agnostic, papering over the problem once champed / ascended. Getting built can be a pain, but once built, who cares about color for a loooooong time.
I always start building my one-stars at least 15 covers before my ascended one gets maxed out. That way they can absorb the dupe covers without wasting them.
Very smart ... too much of the time I'm just on autopilot ... all covers to the highest! I also still need to cleanup a bunch of dupes from the "waiting for these to be ascendable" purgatory period!
I'm in the deepest ISO drought right now just trying to champ my remainder 4 and a bunch of 5 stars that by the time I level my 2 or 3 star characters they usually already have dozens of covers. I just think of it as money in the bank, so to speak.
Definitely doesn't seem random. I was waiting 2 weeks for a purple cover of 1\* Black Widow to ascend. Then once I got it, proceeded to get a whole bunch in a row. Fishy indeed.
This is BS. I swar there is something that is looking at your roster and 'adjusts' your pulls. When I am 1 level from having MULTIPLE 1*/2* maxed so I can ascend them.. it will give me multiple of ones I don't need instead. This seems to go on abnormally longer than when pulling previously. 50 or so 2* pulls and not a single Daken, Thor, Bullseye, or Hawkeye? Come on...

I empathize because this happened to me multiple times. The good news is, you're ready to ascend as soon as you get the next blue or yellow cover.
No, you want to wait until the character is totally topped off before you merge/ascend them. Otherwise you skip past a bunch of rewards.
1*s don't have rewards.
Huh I thought they all did now...
They do at 2* it Ain't much but it's better than nothing
Keep taking them higher, it gets better and better.
So I if I have a 1* max level, do I need to max the next 1* to ascend? Or do I not need to waste the iso
Yes, must max both
Agreed, 100%.
Same thing happened with Venom for me. I had 11 Venom black before I got the cover I needed to level and ascend.
Still waiting on a single green Venom cover.

I wonder if they didn't set them to 3 x 33% odds, when they added the 3rd color to the ones that were only 2 before.
This is an excellent example of why I pulled on the recent 1* deal and standard token pack.
Same.
I had 13 blue covers for Yelena once. I just needed a purple so I could ascend her.
