How does the point costs of ATAs work? Is it that you pay once and then assign to all members with that keyword or pay once for each character?

Asking because I have an animal team with just enough points left for the ATA.

You pay the cost of the ATA for each member of your team with the qualifying keyword for the ATA.

So if I have an all animal team with seven characters... the ATA would cost 21 points?

If it's 3 points per character, then yes.

Don't forget that you have to assign it to (and pay for the ATA for) every figure that qualifies for it.

You cant run an Avengers team and only put the ATA on one figure.

Uhg..... that sucks. I wish it was only a one time cost.... oh well. Thanks guys!

Um, I think that would be a lot more than a little unbalancing!
