Download the new FAQ and read page 14 under "Building your force" it states:

The following has been added to the “Building Your Force” section of the rules:

“A force can consist of two or more of the same character. The only exception is that only one Unique of each collector number may be chosen for a force. Two players may have the same figures in their forces, including Uniques. A Unique figure has a silver or gold experience ring.” You may have a multiple unique characters on the same team as long as they don’t have the same collector number. Example: you could play the Clobbering Time Unique Spider-Man and an eXplosion Unique Spider-Man on the same team. This overturns the previous ruling that Uniques were determined by name only.

At 160 U Elektra is not a bargain. I would rather have U Nightcrawler and U Lady Deathstrike (total 128). They are a much better use of points.

He may have been referring to the IC U Elektra... DEFINITELY a bargain...
