UNLOCKABLES

AVENGERS AND ALLIES
5  XP Minor hero assist
10 XP Minor hero solo scene/Major hero assist
15 XP Major hero solo scene/Minor hero activation
20 XP Major hero activation

Essentially, this means for 5 xp you get an assist in a scene, for 5 more you get a solo scene, and for 5 more beyond that the hero is able to be played in the current event.  A 5 xp surcharge is added for particularly powerful heroes.

Examples of "Minor" heroes: Falcon, Black Cat, Black Widow (mostly d8s, maybe a d10 or two)
Examples of "Major: heroes: Namor, Black Panther, Wonder Man (mostly d10s, maybe a d12 or two)

SOLO/BUDDY SCENES
Some of the above could be played with your main hero as well, and also could be played as buddy scenarios.  In the former case, the xp cost would be as per the minor hero scene, and in the latter case, the xp cost would be as per the major hero scene, but could be split between two players.

(I got the above from the previous game.  If you’re really interested in using your XP for any of the above, we can talk about it.)

COSMIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE WATCHER
10 XP Ask the Watcher any question, which will be answered with “Yes” or “No” (additional to that answer is up to the Watcher).  The acquisition of this knowledge will be played out in game.

As a player, you always have the option to spend 1 XP to add a Plot Point to your current pool of PP. This also increases the minimum PP you start each session with by +1 to a maximum of 5 PP (with 4 XP spent). It’s not the most efficient use of your XP, but maybe you really want to get ahead of the game! This increased minimum starting amount resets to 1 at the beginning of a new Act, though -- make use of ‘em while you’ve got ‘em.
