Using this option, its a 'one time cost' of a plot die for the First Issue. NB: A plot die expenditure is 'single use' and doesn't prevent earning more or resetting to default for a new Issue. Also note that the next paragraph, the Players can *earn* plot die by giving them Flaws as well.
Your other option is to allow a full-custom build as a 75 point character (with no Powers); they now have a ready-made replacement Hero after becoming zombie chow. A reasonable SC can contribute enough to reach the end of an Issue as a replacement Hero.
This also gives them more experience with the creation system. Building a couple of SCs (for the EiC encounter file) really opens up some of the things that can be done. A couple of the pregen-SCs I have built wound up being more useful/powerful that the Hero they were attached to...
