there has been a an issue with Namor..Namor might be withheld due to licensing/legal reasons ..
This from Marvel editor Tom Brevoort's formspring account:
TomBrevoort responded to Rheged 16 Jul via iOS I just saw the news about the Phoenix Five joining the Avengers Alliance game on Facebook, WITHOUT Namor! I can't remember the last game Marvel put Namor in, and yet when he's part of team in the game, you STILL cut him out? Why would Marvel do that?
There are limitations on the rights for Namor in video games--somebody else may hold the license at this time.
Wow, the interval between spec ops are really short... I'm guessing they sense that players found a rhythm to get all they want fast. I wonder if Magik is worth it?
Edit / Add:
Er, if anyone is kind enough to give a heads-up on what the tasks are, I think it'd be really appreciated It'd be just like the last spec-ops, wherein we knew which heroes to recruit. I'll do my share (so sorry it's just the first 6 tasks, I just started):
1. Defeat 5 test subjects 2. Complete 1 Deploy Mission 3. Defeat 1 mini-boss (Avalanche is the 1st you'll encounter) 4. Receive 10 Unstable ISO-8 5. Defeat 1 boss (Emma Frost is the 1st you'll encounter) 6. Research Phoenix Essence in the Lab (requires 60 ISO, 8 hours and silver)

It will be better if someone here can share tactics to finish spec ops 3 quickly. I remember fellas across the internet manage to formulate ways to finish spec ops 2 quickly. Like chaining mission objectives at one go. One good example from Spec Ops 2 is this: http://forum.playdom.com/showthread.php?126209-Special-Operations-Guide/page118

ok... to unlock epic boss in task 25 in the Avengers side, you need to recruit Black Panther (90cp). While on the X-Men side, you need to recruit Gambit (90cp), Nightcrawler (48) and Rogue (90cp). So that's 318cp for 25 days..

still on task 16 - Upgrade Phoenix Talon 200iso remaining, 2star Mission 1&2 and not started Mission 3. My estimate to get Magik is 10-12days =)
short on iso's for the talon due to not properly reading the task where i need to use magik's 3rd skill 3x. had to repeat the process. though i've 2 starred m1, 3 starred m2
Sir deathzero23's post was really useful... got me to finish tasks 7-10 today!
I'm pretty nervous about tasks 24 and 25, given that people need to be recruited to get to the Epic Boss battles. Nightcrawler, Gambit, and Rogue, right? so that's 228 CP.
I hope the daily reward thingy will be good to me...
